RE: Importing Schema getting compilation errors on some triggers

I was responsible for the completely messed up Peoplesoft Oracle/AIX environment but management here decided that it was more important to separate a husband and wife that both work in the same department, and assigned one of them to be primary support in this environment instead of me. (sshh: The new person who is primary doesn't know a thing about Unix.) My primary job is now suppossed to be data modeling and data warehouse/mart design, moving on into Problematica (er, Informatica) development into a Sql Server database. I will not be the admin on the Sql Server database. My new boss referred to this as "database architecture". ?? What? They have already decided what they want done and just want someone to take the pretty pictures and implement them with unrealistic deadlines. The main reason why I am upset is because it seems to me that data modeling is such a "soft" skill. I am concerned about keeping my skills up to date and keeping my hands in an Oracle environment, whether it's a mess or not. Seems to me that data modeling alone isn't something that can land you a new job or really spiff up your resume. I think that having a finite list of skills (Oracle, Unix, Windows 2000, Erwin, Project, crap like that) is more what employers search for, and is what HR depts can easily deal with. Am I wrong? This job pays well and working for a huge company has it's benefits, if you can deal with the bureaucracy similar to what is described in the 1st paragraph.

Looking for a solution to version controlling of database objects in Oracle. The scenario is like this: Multiple people simultaneously work on the same database object in TOAD. How can we implement a version controlling feature. Putting this in simple words, If X checks out a file from TOAD and Y needs to work on the same file (assuming they have the same privilege), Y should not be allowed to work on the object till X finishes working on it. We want to put a restriction on the database objects such that simultaneously no two users should be able to work it. Integrating VSS with TOAD was not acceptable since it would be file based(saving the .sqls). Qs. Is there any feature available in Oracle(with oracle 8.1.7) or any third party tool that does this ? so send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
