RE: adding columns to system tables

Personally i wouldn't do that. How come you couldn't create another table or a view off of the user_tabl_columns and use that table instead? Kev

Does anyone know if it is 'safe' to add additional columns to user_tab_columns? I am running 8.1.5. I would use the new columns to tell the application software which columns on any one table are user editable by a dynamically generated dialog form.

Thanks,
Greg
