That is the java applet I am using, it comes with Oracle 8. It still has the limitations I was referring to. I have migrated to a VB app that will strip out the DISTINCTROW and white spaced column names (and alias's). I will continue work to also have it attempt to create the view by connecting to the Oracle instance and executing the created sql.
