!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !! Howdy, We haven't yet installed 9i anywhere here, but our developers are already coding for it. I was hoping someone could do me a favor and query v$option in Oracle 9i, then send the output to me (or the list, doesn't matter to me). I need to know what changes, if any, have been made to the view, the parameter values, and the case sensitivity of the values from 8i.
