Check one thing, Oracle also makes up for all these errors and bugs by providing Roll up patches, there are many versions for it, i heard that recently they released Rollup patch 4 for rel 12, ask your DBA to apply that patch in your instance , which will reduce the technical errors !JC = Will do that sir !SC = Since its a new system , it will take time to stablize, u know some thing, oracle always tests thier products with the customers only.... !JC = I can see that now !SC = OK ByeJC = Thanks for your time sir
