Maryann,

Like I said - the analytical functions are available in 8i (I believe 8.1.5
and onwards but it might have been 8.1.7).  The PL/SQL engine wasn't made
aware of them though so wrap then in "execute immediate" within PL/SQL to
get them going.

An update is possible in PL/SQL but it's easier to create a new table and
swap them around - unless that creates some major headaches for you.
