RE: SELECT INTO new_table

Regrettably database engines, like everything else it seems, have differences. What is one case is a strength is in another a weakness. Those are just the facts of life. What you end up with is a compromise between all of them. Now if you'll excuse me, I've a SQL*server 2000 system to go put back together. Darned this corrupted itself when the server crashed. Funny thing though, 10 Oracle instances crashed too, power problem in the computer room, but they all survived.

Thanks for all answers,
my opinion: Oracle is VERY static database, we are developing total DYNAMIC application (MS SQL 2000 - no problems, Oracle 9.2i -> uuuuuffff!) :-)
