Greetings and Thank you for your

Jared, A few of our databases are still sitting in 81.7.4 , As usual we are short on disk space,
DEV Team and App Prod Support Team came up with a few old tables they used during conversion which were retained as part of business requirement.

Now they have decided to drop these tables to release space for us.

Given a chance I would like test this with 10046 level 12 trace in all versions, but the only test system I have now is 10gRel2.
