No, it handles binary files. It's been awhile since you used it. :) http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/223.html

FWIR, CVS doesn't handle binaries tho. We do the same thing for rdf's (report files) and fmb's (forms files) too.

Any version you need can be retrieved. If a large number of packages are used for an app, you could take it a step further and use CVS. This would allow app level releases as well.

I go even one step further here. Each object is required to have it's own creation script. A package will have two scripts, one for the header and one for the body. Also the script name has the package revision included in it as well. For example: hyp_packages.115.00.sql hyp_packageb.115.00.sql hyp_packageb.115.01.sql etc... This makes reverting code and tracking changes much easier.

It helps to have them handy when they need to be modified because of a table structure change, etc. I just give them back to the deveopers to fix and then I recompile on the production server. Also it help to keep them up to date as we are currently migration to a newer version of Oracle while changing the structure of some tables. With the current sql used to create the package that was distroyed you can recreate it easily. Ron >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/25/03 07:33PM >>> Thanks for the caution. Does any one know if I export with owner=<schema Name> rows=N, then drop a package and import from the export file with IGNORE=N (which is default), will it restore the dropped package and error out on all other objects as they are already exist? Is this the right way of restoring the dropped package or will it have any problems? There are plenty of the tables in the database and error list will be too long in this case. Any side effects? or Is there any other way to import a dropped pakage? A little bit uncomfortable seeing big error list for restoring one package. Any ideas or will I have to live with this in case the need arises? Iam afraid of any side effects. --Babu -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 3:54 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The problem with direct=y is that imports done from these dumps are then very version dependent.

Babu Why not try 'direct=y' option. This has limitations regarding the platform. Not 100% sure of it. Check with Documentation. It does export very fast.
