Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> info about ROWID?
Hello,
Sorry if this is a very basic question, but i couldn't find good information
about it. In other databases, you normally define your ouwn ID, an integer.
Oracle 8i already has a ROWID. Using this ROWID should be faster if i have
to believe the docs.
Should i use this ROWID in the tables or not? Any experiences?
Which characters can be contained in this ROWID? Does it give problems if i
have to pass rowid's as parameters in servlets or cgiscripts? Is it possible
that it contains chars like ' " / ? \
Thanks in advance for any help, Received on Thu Jul 27 2000 - 10:05:19 CDT
