RE: bbed?

True Mark, but then in the doc he is showing you just how long it is. All you have to do is count the dots & apply some logic. Not exactly a secured application. You would think that they would ship the rdbms with something missing to build this puppy.

Which is why it's password protected. But, let's not open that can of worms again....

To anyone who wants to know the password: If you really want to use it, you should be clever enough to find the password. Don't ask people to tell you what it is. ;-)

Bill,

        I just looked through a 10.2.0.2 system we have & did not find bbed either, but I followed the command to build it, namely make -f ins_rdbms.mk $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/bbed in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib directory & the darned thing built as stated. And to boot there is a target in the make file for the stinker. I think this is one tool that could really cause a lot of trouble.

Someone just passed this on to me. I checked a coupl of my systems and didn't find it. It's an editor for modifying dbfs. The page:

<http://www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archives/00000999.htm>

refers to ways of misusing the tool. The PDF paper has a few pages of instructions, then some interesting examples of the tool's uses starting on page 25.
