Oracle seems to be a difficult case in the RDMS world ;-)

I had a bit of a run-in with our Oracle DB admins. Using Reactor I
couldn't get to the tables I wanted, even though all the definitions
and configs were correct... The problem was (is) that we're using
special accounts (one for each application) to access our tables, and
these users are currently required to identify tables by including the
"Schema" name in the database space. E.g. we have to write

   SELECT * FROM "SCHEMA"."TABLE"

Reactor of course generates (no aliases)

   SELECT * FROM "TABLE"

Since our DB admins don't like to change their habits (yes, the
problem can be solved by reconfiguring Oracle and defining socalled
private synonyms), and since this phenomenon is likely to pop up at
other Reactor installations, I'll try to see if we can fix that with
an extra parameter in the config file, a bit extra info in the Oracle
convention, and a few changes to the XSL...

In the meantime, I'm off for a week of holidays with the kids!

See ya!
