RE: Analytical Functions
I agree, Although I have found that the PL/SQL engine in 8i isn't aware of them. I have to wrap them in "execute immediate" statements. Can someone please tell me this has been rectified in Oracle 9i? Cheers, Mark.

RE: Analytical Functions
Sorry for the late response as it was a holiday here in Brisbane yesterday. You have all confirmed what I thought but all my development databases have OLAP installed and I don't presently have the space to install another 9i environment. So I couldn't Identify that information I will advise if the PL/SQL now understands them, I suspect it will as a lot of other things work. Update soon And thanks guys Cheers -- = Peter McLarty E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical ConsultantWWW: http://www.mincom.com APAC Technical Services Phone: +61 (0)7 3303 3461 Brisbane, AustraliaMobile: +61 (0)402 094 238 Facsimile: +61 (0)7 3303 3048 = "If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done." - Ludwig Wittgenstein = Mincom "The People, The Experience, The Vision" = This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.
