Lee, Thanks for your advise, for me this question is just kick off to the world of ORACLE PL/SQL scripting, I don't know why you think that I would like to ask from a Great and full of experiance DBA like you Mr. Lee to spoon feeding me. Again Thank You so much for your advise Xing,

Lee Joe, While I do agree that is possible one should try to figure these things out, and this really is a simple one, there does come a time when asking for help is appropriate. In this case Lee's answer is very much so. As far as taking an OCP course, that does torque my jaws. Over the

Dick/Lee/Joe, I'm not trying to defend him but unless I have not yet recieved a post in my mail, Xing never said he had an OCP. Plus, Lee, I think you may need to define "silver bullet". It probably doesn't translate for people who don't use English as a second language. Cherie Machler

Cherie, OK, point well taken, so "silver bullet" would translate into "the one item that will succeed when no other does", "magic formula". And, no he never did say he had an OCP, but he did say he was taking a "course" to get his OCP. To me having an OCP certificate without any
