Re: Undocumented Oracle Functions

I confess that I love such things from a techno weenie point of view. I hate them from a manager point of view. Nothing makes me cringe more than thinking some developer would use such functions in production code only to find that they no longer work after the next upgrade since they are not "supported" or "documented".

As Fatboy Slim says...

You can go with this, or you can go with that.....

Thanks for pointing them out Jared!!
