I give the OP more credit than that. Anyone that doesn't have the combination of mental horsepower and experience necessary to opena a PDF file, read it, and understand it, should probably be working in MS Access: Not Oracle.

Unfortunately we have arrived at a state of mind in our industry where people wing-it first, ask questions later, and only read the documentation when forced to by something blowing up in their face.

The OP asked before making a mess and that, in and of itself, shows, a degree of competency.
