It costs millions of dollars to upgrade the database and the front-end applications. The Oracle database I am connecting to has 12,000 tables and views, in hundreds of schemas, and is used by dozens of front-end applications such as Oracle Financials. Next year's budget should allow our IT department to upgrade the database. Received on Fri Jul 19 2002 - 17:45:38 CDT
