Are you sure that modifying sql.bsq is actualy supported by Oracle?
I've read somewhere that one is allowed to modify sql.bsq, but only the part after the special token in this file. The token is "//" (without quotes). And if I remember right there were also a remark in the same article that any change even after the special "//" token should be done only under suppervision/approval from Oracle Support. If anyone have any reliable informations on this subject ("is changing sql.bsq before the database creation officially supported by Oracle?"), I for one would be very thankful for the information.
BTW, source$ is defined after that token in sql.bsq.
