I have to pipe in here because there is no such thing as a standard database table. There are standard tables for Oracle E-Business suite .. but that is not at all the same thing. We have to remember on here that while many folks are in an Oracle E-Business environment there are just as many, or perhaps more, that are not running in that environment. Calling something a "standard database table" is a very bad habit to get into especially if you ever take a position outside the Oracle E-Business environment because you will be in for a rude shock if you expect such niceties as created by, creation date, last updated and last updated by to magically exist in tables outside that environment.
Sorry if I sound harsh on that but one of my pet peeves is folks that are used to working in Oracle Financials (for instance) and think that it is the only way to design a database. Not every environment needs the amount of , for lack of a better term, extra stuff (like time stamps, user stamps .. etc) that an enterprise level ERP system needs and thus a lot of them wont have them so don't get used to having them available. </rant> Latha wrote: > There are several ways. few of them are > > 1.
