Re: Order of table_name resolution

Rick, I am looking for an Oracle DBA for our office in Des Moines, IA. Do you know of anyone that might be interested. Also, have Oracle Financial and CRM positions open in Fall Church VA. Let me know if you know of someone. Thank you in advance. Dick Vander Laan ----- Original Message -----
