Hello, I'm in IT infrastructure and my division is converting to Oracle. The folks at corporate HQ have claimed that the following two things are not possible in Oracle 11i.

Can anyone comment?

  1. Date field on interface: We don't care how the data is stored on the backend; the concern in that the order entry process will be significantly slowed if our reps have to enter all dates as 15-AUG-07 on the front end. Adhering to the day/month/year format is not a problem; the problem is that our entry people are so fast that they want to enter all orders as 15-08-2007. Can the front end be customized to accomodate this, and if so, how much work is it?
  2. Case sensitivity issues: One of our problems is that our customer identifier is currently case sensitive - can this be changed so that Samsung and SAMSUNG are seen as the same customer, and the back end fields are identical? Also, can the invoices and packing lists be generated so that they look nice? Currently all packing slips and invoices are generated as SAMSUNG, in all caps. We'd like it to appear as Samsung - is this a huge project to make this happen?

Thank you in advance for your expertise.

Regards,
