Re: Beginner Problem - designer

If you have a support contract with Oracle, you can download Oracle Designer 6i Release 4.1 from metalink.oracle.com. Under Patches, search for patch number 2083057. Release 4.1 works against the 9i database, although has not yet been certified against it. It will be retrospectively certified at some point in the future.
