It's no one problem, but Oracle Power Object itself. Althrought they say many thing in the manual, well, it's not always working... Mainly in the table editor area... When you hit the save button, you'r done, forget about modifying ANY thing... Maybe in the next release... And that's for any of the database. Because OPO doesn't support the MODIFY clause.
