I don't need to search through every single post, because I know how to use a search engine. Obviously you don't or you are just too lazy to learn how to do it.

Again I know how to search, I usually only need to search http://tahiti.oracle.com
That you don't know how to do it, is NO excuse for not trying.

Just bear in mind that I and many others respond to posts in my *OWN FREE TIME*. Obviously you have no problem with misusing newsgroups as a first resort. I have: I think you are just lazy and rather want other people to do your work for you.
When I started using Oracle, there were no newsgroups, there were only manuals. I managed to learn Oracle. You can read, so you can read manuals. No need to waste other peoples free time with obvious questions which have the obvious four letter answer Just FYI: I ignore *MANY* posts, and the result is they usually remain unresponded, because people like you only visit this group out of self-interest, and usually refuse to help other people out, thus leaving the burden to a very small group of less than 10 people.
