Greg,

It is 'safe' in that you won't die or get injured. However, your database may and your support from Oracle certainly will.

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
