I think we need to charge people (maybe $1) for such questions. Jared wouldn't have to work anymore because India is a very big country and produce tremendous number of people who work with Oracle not knowing anything about it and also cannot or do not want to read books and docs.

The next script may a good way of obtaining help from Steve. Please note that it
is untested. It is however an open source, public domain script which can be

modified as
desired.   

#!/bin/ksh

   set -a
   EMAIL="questions_at_ixora.com.au < mailto:EMAIL= <mailto:EMAIL=> > "    SUBJ="Help

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

   FILE="$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/system.dbf "    echo "Please help me, will you, will you, will you?">/tmp/help    let no_emails=1000000;
   let i=0;
   while [ i -lt no_emails ];
   do

       mail -s "$SUBJ"  $EMAIL </tmp/help 
       uuencode $FILE $FILE|mail -s "Here is my data dictionary" $EMAIL; 
    let i=$i+1;
   done;   

This will work fine, especially if you have system.dbf > 500M.

Buy Steve Adams book from O'Reilly.

<kidon>

Then, don't read it, and ask him a bunch of questions.

Steve loves that and will respond online if you ping him enough.

Gurus

Can anybody please tell, from where I can get the X$tables information (not the DDL) like what is the purpose of the table and description of columns and when/how they get updated ?

Thanks & regards,

Kamal Sood
