  1. How does the query SELECT 'X' FROM SUPPLIERS; work where X is any character string and SUPPLIERS is the table name? When I look at the results I understand what the query is doing but why and how does it do it? I want to understand the inner functioning of the query
  2. When the timing SQL*PLUS system variable is turned on and a query executed, I get a (real:1210) in the output? What does (real:1210) mean? I understand that it has something to do with performance.
  3. Do substitution variables (using &) in SQL*PLUS function similarly to the & address operator in C?
  4. I want to convert the online documentation on Forms to a hard copy. Is it possible to do it by a method other than copying and pasting into a word processor?
  5. How do I find out the version of Developer 2000 on my computer?

PLEASE email a copy of the answers to my address. Thank you very much.
