   In those cases, you want to head for comp.databases.oracle.misc  Since   
   cdo itself was voted out in the mid 90's, some ISPs don't carry it and   
   some of our senior people don't have direct access.

   One minor additional point: SYS is superuser, SYSTEM is 'master' DBA.   
   If at all possible avoid using SYS (simply because a slip of the fingers   
   could destroy your database).
