Re: what is dual?
Wow, google is definately a verbose tool. However, Eric might be more interested in the following: "DUAL is a table automatically created by Oracle along with the data dictionary. DUAL is in the schema of the user SYS, but is accessible by the name DUAL to all users. It has one column, DUMMY, defined to be VARCHAR2(1), and contains one row with a value X. Selecting from the DUAL table is useful for computing a constant expression with the SELECT statement. Because DUAL has only one row, the constant is returned only once. Alternatively, you can select a constant, pseudocolumn, or expression from any table, but the value will be returned as many times as there are rows in the table." As quoted by Oracle. Have Fun!

There has been a recent revival of interest in the topic of Cartesian dualism amongst modern philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists. Arguments against dualism have been provided on the basis of both empirical evidence and on philosophical grounds, and clearly express the predominant view (Dennett, Damasio, Churchland). However, a number of modern philosophers of mind, though in the minority, have come to the defense of dualism (e.g. Hart). The question of dualism is not only of historical interest, it also has important implications for the scientific enterprise. If a convincing rejection of dualism can be formulated, the classic mind-body problem will be solved by its becoming a non-problem and the materialist approach of modern science will be vindicated. If, conversely, dualism can be convincingly maintained, it is by no means obvious that empirical evidence will suffice for a thorough understanding of the mind -- in other words, understanding the brain may not be enough for understanding the mind. (more of it at http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/dualism.html). There is also, of course, (ahahaha, how could I forget it) Spinoza's dual-aspect theory in which the unitary substance God is expressed in the distinct modes of the mental and the physical.

RE: what is dual?
I remember that a long time ago, with Oracle 6 and Forms 2.3 , the dba, accidentely, add a row in dual. Since, at that time, almost all Forms trigger were relying on dual, absolutely nothing was working in the production environment. I do not have to tell you that the dba spent many hours before finding the problem... --- DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Eric - Assuming this isn't end-of-day humor. > > Dual is an Oracle pseudo-table with one row and one > column.
