Dennis, it's a dev box so we don't really need mileage it won't be hit as hard as production (and I'll make sure production is created properly)...
as for the datatypes, I know about user-defined, they don't want that. These are people who know SQL Server but not Oracle and are designing the system as if it were SQL Server. My boss has input to this process, I don't, so I'll work through him to get the mindset changed. Thanks!
