Thank you Stephane.  
I am not as lucky as you. I don't work on Unix...  i used to and i miss it.
my os is NT.
i ended up writing a query.. if someone has a better idea please let me
know...


p.s. hope this thread is not going to turn into one of the 'regular' topics:
why unix is better.  we all know that! :-)

Rather that the query of death, I'd export everything and work on the
.dmp file with Unix tools. Oracle stuff is in uppercase, normally, the
only lowercase characters you may find apart from data is in the text of
stored objects (views, packages). Finding out *where* exactly the
lowercase characters are located is likely to be a bit difficult,
though. But I could probably do it with awk, as others (before I get
flamed ;-)) could do it with perl.
