Re: Use MS Access to create Oracle Tables?

Mainly do not do this; It can, sort of, be used to do that but not very well and it can cause major problems with table names, field names, data types, etc..

Any user who you would want to have create/drop rights on your server should be able to learn a tool like T.O.A.D ( http://www,quests.com ) or EzSql (http://www.ezsql.net )

Or maybe Oracle's own tools
(http://technet.oracle.com) or (www.oracle.com/products)

Just my 2c
