Re: adding columns to system tables

On Fri, 18 May 2001,Greg Schraiber scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->Does anyone know if it is 'safe' to add additional columns
->to user_tab_columns? I am running 8.1.5. I would use the new
->columns to tell the application software which columns on
->any one table are user editable by a dynamically generated
->dialog form.
->
->Thanks,
->Greg
->
->

I don't get the warm fuzzies over this one.
