Ken.
I work for a quasi state gov't organization ( state lottery) and we are covered under the state contract with Oracle for support. I think that with some creative investigating you can uncover the CSI number that exists in the state organization and use it to get access to Metelink. That is in fact if the organization is "legal" with the software it is using. ROR mª¿ªm>>> ken.janusz_at_sufsys.com 12/31/01 07:05AM >>>

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.

Thanks,
Ken

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.
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.
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 :-)). 
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.

Have you purchased Oracle
Support? If so, you likely have access to MetaLink. If not, you need to.

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.
