Jimmy,
Oracle does not provide manuals! If they did, they'd be very, very expensive.

This is one of the reasons that only a small set of highly skilled people are able to figure it out and work with the product and is only secondarily responsible for the creation of the internet. How else would be know how to use the product without forums and venues that allow for learning w/o the help of manuals.

If you do find a manual, please let me know because I've never read an Oracle manual and have figured out this stuff by trial and error as you may nave noticed via my posts.

I've heard that there are also these new things called search locomotives or engines that make finding things easier. I may have to check these things out, since my old technique of clicking on each page and putting it excel with a detailed description is now taking me too much time.
