Assuming that those type numbers come from Oracle, you got me. Can you
use some oracle tool to look at the table structure and compare it to
the numbers you get and make a map?
If they're numbers from Oracle, you likely won't get much help here.
Only a few folks here are all that intimate with oracle's inner
workings. Heck, I use it every day, and I still don't know this kind of
stuff, and hope I never have to. :)
