Thanks Sybrand

I have ordered Oracle 8 The Complete Reference. I have heard however that there is a problem with the CD-ROM which accompanies this recommended book. In the meantime I believe I need to set a trace in order to determine which tables are being accessed with my current database.

Cheers

Mark
