However the key issue as far as we are concerned is that Oracle does not support that method. That in itself is sufficient reason to not use that method for us at least. Yes, I know, how would Oracle tell, it can be made to work, etc etc. But the bottom line is that we do not do it for a good reason. PS I used to do it years ago as well with no problem.

This was on HP's/Suns. I was proposing that to my current group to do that method again but just wanted to know if anybody is doing it or has tried it... And/or is there problems preventing or complicating this? Thanks Brian -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
