Mike,
Honestly haven't tried it. No time lately, dealing with the "UFH" (User
>From H--L") who thinks that I work exclusively for him (and asks the
most inane questions involviing hours of work on my part to prove to
him that what I said really was right), the other DBA here out on
vacation (vacation? what's vacation?) and gone to visit his family in
China (so much for cell phone numbers) so I'm doing his work as well as
mine....
Right now I'm in "it's working, I'm not changing it" mode. I'll try to
test this when I get some breathing time in a week or 2 or 100.
:)
