You seem to be incapable of understanding my irony. I frequently notice people do not learn a programming language anymore, whether it be Visual Basic, or PL/SQL or SQL, or whatever, they only know where to click.
That's bad because educated that way, they frequently also didn't learn to program and to think logical.
You can guess who, in my case, is cleaning out the messes resulting from that.
I think that is frustrating because those people also frequently think programming is below their status, and they want to quit their job as soon as possible to become Project Manager (anything that buys them a bigger car)

The OP clearly demonstrates this attitude: if there is no button for something, he simply can't find it.
This is why I made the remark 'using a GUI destroys grey cells' (or makes people lazy). I never intended to pun down the OP as an idiot. If you can't understand my irony, there are two choices for both us: either we both unsubscribe, or we put each other both in our respective kill filter.
However I think you will be constantly at war here with every experienced Oracle DBA (in your terms 'more than 5 years', for me more than 12)

Your choice...
