You know, this is what's so cool about this list. I've received some great ideas so far (didn't know about TOAD 9 options - only complain about developers using TOAD to page through data, then leave their session opened all day).

A lot of the work I do involves adjusting Excel TREND functions, but after these emails I realized that I could potentially use Oracle's REGR* functions, of course now I have to figure out how. :-)

Thanks everyone!

Dave
