style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I work for a very small company that does DB/application conversions for state governments. They will not spend
the money for Metalink. I am the
only Oracle person in the company.
So, my only source of Oracle information is documentation and the e-mail lists. I have found that a lot of
times the specific information I need is not in the documentation so the e-mail lists are my last resort. I am
very happy that these lists exist and all the help everyone has given me.

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>I think it is our problem actually because the majority of questions you ask could be answered quite easily by looking at the manual or using Metalink.

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Is your company just a one or 2 man band or is it a reasonably sized company. If so I would have thought that having Oracle support was a necessity rather than a nice to have.

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>I once turned down a contract at a company because they did not have 24 hour support and I was expected to do out of hours support for which any call was made would be charged for. I and I am sure many others have got into a situation where we are on our own/tired/stuck/confused whatever and a call to support has been very helpful, not just for the answer but more as someone to talk to, ensure that you are not about to do anyuhing stupid (too late for me :-)).

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Knowadays there is a lot more on-line resource available and this list is getting better all the time but I personally think Metalink is invaluable both for resolving immediate problems and digging deeper into areas of interest.

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>That brings rise to the question "Why aren't you
a member of MetaStink?"

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Have you purchased Oracle Support? If so, you likely
have access to MetaLink. If not, you need to.

<span

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>You'll never be able to successfully implement an Oracle
based application on 9i without support. You at least need
to have access to patches.
