<SALES_PLUG> Ed, You can have a look at Simuload, which we have not developed but which we market, on the Oriole site (http://www.oriole.com). Compared to other products it's a bit crude (we contemplate wrapping it in a nice GUI in the future, it has been written by a hard-core Unix developer, ex-Digital, ex-Sun and now Oracle, and it shows), you may have a bit of work to do (wrapping SQL statements in PL/SQL procedures, chiefly) but it's not very expensive and gives results relatively easily. </SALES_PLUG> -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Ltd -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
