I've been out of touch working on non-Oracle applications for awhile so excuse the butting in at the end of the thread.
The real question to me, since I have coded four digit years in all my applications, is `does Oracle handle the leap year 2000 correctly? My assumption is a resounding YES. Please Oracle Corp., don't let me down.
