I verified, and the options are not there. I also read the help text and the help text states the options you describe are only available when you connect to an Oracle 9i database. So I guess, rather than assuming everyone uses Oracle 9i everywhere ( we definitely don't) and trying to make me look like an idiot, you should better admit this isn't *logminer functionality* **alone**, and admit not everyone is fortunate of enough to run with the latest sw, simply because the customers don't want you to upgrade, as it won't buy them anything, because their application vendors aren't using any 8i (or 9i) feature.
