Mark,
These suggestions are useful but dont expect to see any results from it. If you want them to be acted on or at least looked at, I suggest you do one of the following:
- Call Oracle Support and log an enhancement request call
- Contact your local OUG rep for further information on how to proceed further. OR
- Log your request directly with Oracle's Enhancement Request System. With this system, you are able to place enhancement request, see all your requests and others as well, thier status, ammend these calls and lots more. All this via EMAIL!
For more information I suggest that you mail to Erreq_at_us.oracle.com and type 'help' in your email body.
Hope this helps.
