We could cause the internal Oracle DBA's some problems with that.

Change +oracle+10i to +oracle
Change &p_numHits=100 to &p_numHits=5000

Now if we all did that at once...

Just kidding.

It does leave MetaLink open for a rather simple DOS attack though.

Raj,

I believe you can perform this kind of Query using the type of link below
-

just replace the "+oracle+10i" by your search text, and note the all-important "-RDBPROD". (Also busts the Frames btw)

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/kno_main.preDoAdvancedQuery?p_show Back=TRUE&p_text=+oracle+10i-RDBPROD&p_queryOption=context&p_product_id=-1&p _platform_id=-1&p_date=-1&p_knowledge=TRUE&p_bug=TRUE&p_forums=TRUE&p_numHit s=100&p_listType=2&p_Sortby=103

I did not discover this - the credit should go to Steve Adams. The case of Glenlivet can be sent to Rachel and Jared - I don't imbibe this particular type of liquid and I believe neither does Steve :( John Kanagaraj

One (virtual) case of fine 12 year old Glenlivet to you if you tell mw how to stop that RDBPROD cr*a appearing in Metalink search results, I hate to go
for advanced search every time. Plus somehow Oracle *LOVES* frames which essentially messes up back navigation at times.

Thanks in advance
Raj
