Sorry, I should say *well-maintained* scripts ;-)

Different versions of Oracle will require differences within the scripts, as you say, but I am talking about building Dev, Test and Live systems using the same scripts. A script will always do the same thing against the same environment. Mouse-clicks are not scriptable and humans make mistakes. Received on Tue Sep 05 2006 - 06:55:40 CDT
