Re: dbms_metadata.set_transform_param 'PRETTY' option does not work

Hence the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)

I find that you tend to get prettier output by also excluding the other details like storage clauses etc etc. More to the point since you are using apps you can use eTRM for this sort of stuff. Your object should be at https://etrm.oracle.com/pls/trm11510/etrm_fndnav.show_object?n_appid=200&n_tabid=15095&c_type=VIEW (metalink login required) and if I've got the version wrong you can use http://etrm.oracle.com/pls/etrm/etrm_search.search .
