Re: PeopleTools vs. std. Oracle

At best, the statement is a bunch of garbage, version 7 of peopletools, when doing alter commands, the script that gets generated says right at the top,

--
-- WARNING:
--
-- This script should not be run in Data Mover.  It may contain platform
-- specific syntax that Data Mover is unable to comprehend.  Please use the
-- SQL query tool included with your database engine to process this script.
--

This tells me right at the beginning, that not all of the changes that need to be made to a db must be done using PeopleTools. Anyone else's thoughts???
