Thanks a lot, thats just what i was looking for.

Hi, I need to substract two dates so i get the difference between them in seconds. When i do something like : select to_date('14-02-2002 11:30:03', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS') - to_date('14-02-2002 10:30:00', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS') from dual I get 0,0417013888888889 as a result. Not really 3...

I thank all of you a lot. It helps to hear this information from the experts. I think i now know enough to write a document with enough of reasons why not to build such a tool. I hope to learn more about Oracle, so maybe i could be of some help to you in the future also. Thanks!

Thanks! I just heared the plan changed a bit. I now have to confince people why we should not create this tool. I need to specify what makes a tool like this practicly impossible to create. I hope you can help me with your Oracle experience with the following : - I know triggers, constraints...

Can you tell me why views would have any impact? Why would a view be any different then a query executed directly on a table? And can stored procedures be triggered directly from a sql command or can they only be activated by triggers? Someone told me about bussines rules, but i'm not sure what...

Thanks for responding, The problem is that we need to give some departments direct access to the Oracle databases without our DBA's knowing about it. ( maybe not the best way, but it was instructed by the persons that pay my salary ). The tool must confirm to some requirements. It has to log...

Please help, I need to write a VB application using ADO to connect to a Oracle server. We will be doing insert, update and select statements on the Oracle database. The database is allready in production, and i need to know what impact a update / insert statement can have on a oracle database...

What do I do to get the same (or comparable) image in Netscape? All of my objects jump all over the page! Thanks SFB
