   Then why not store the data in Notepad - much cheaper than Oracle and   
   no DBA required?   
      
      
   BTW, this group is dead, your question belongs on .server.

   When asking database related questions, please give other posters   
   some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.   
   The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't   
   work!").   
   Thanks.   
      
   Furthermore, As a courtesy to those who spend
