I'm looking to port several apps from MS/SQL Server to Oracle 8 and one of the roadblocks (and I expect many) is there doesn't seem to be the equivalent of user-defined datatypes in Oracle 8.x.

I've looked at "subtypes" but it doesn't seem like I can use them in table creation which is the most critical part for my apps as every table definition in the existing MS/SQL Server environment uses them.

I find it hard to believe that Oracle in 1998 wouldn't have a feature that seems so basic. Received on Fri Jul 31 1998 - 10:20:18 CDT
