Well if they can "hack" at it with Perl it's not really the tool that's the problem and preventing access to the tool is not a solution.

A BIG "no no". I suppose that also applies to this kind of tool even under a paid license structure. How many of you would shout at Cool-Tools for "giving away" a tool such as this, that your developers can use to "hack" your data files? ;) Nice idea in concept - huge liability it reality. -----Original Message----- Rachel Carmichael Sent: 18 September 2003 17:15 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 1) it's Field Support not Tech Support that has it 2) Oracle does not sell nor does it release the code for DUL. A field support technician comes to your site, installs it, runs it and removes it. You pay a fee for this. when I used it (in '98), the fee was $5k per every 8 hour period, with a minimum of $10K as the starting fee. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Orr, Steve INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
