Paula - One word of caution which I'm sure you don't need. Often Unix scripts can process data faster than processes inside Oracle. This is an important consideration for data warehousing. I'm sure you are aware of this, but thought I would mention it. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 12:33 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Guys, In the past when writing ETL processes for data warehouses I did a lot with scripting on Unix and used SQL for some basic processing. I have been moving more into creating stored procedures and also separately been working on modularizing and making generic code. To me with native dynamic sql, utl_smtp and other Oracle packages/procs available it is cleaner and easier to modularize these codes into different stored procedures. Thereby I am moving a lot of the code I used to run into stored procs at the same time I am modularizing/generi. it. Eventually the script will be doing some basic things. Does anyone have an opinion on the approach I am taking as to its long-term viability/maintainability/reusability? I would love any and all opinions.
