Morning Pete,
>> How are you?,
I'm fine thanks. Still here (temporarily) !

so

I have no idea, but the customer is a bank and *nothing* ever gets done
without going through about 6 weeks of form filling etc etc. It is a
major PITA - we have the same problems when we try to debug problems
they have with our app - we cannot get trace files etc. It's even worse,
they do not have this setup on their test system, but I have requested
that they do it for me !

This won't be allowed - too much confidential information.

the database?
Yes, but see above. I'm totally working blind on this one I'm afraid !

It is possible to trace what is happening on the client and even to see
if the system is using packages or not - but they won't turn it on on
the live system for 'confidentiality' reasons (and business rules!) so I
need to get them to set it up on their test system.
I'm personally 100% sure that they are not using packages (even though a Public Synonym for the package exists) and that the app is using the batch user's table via plain old vanilla SQL. They say no, but have yet been unable to prove it to me. Once I get the test system up and running, we shall (hopefully) see. I've shown them my tests which prove that it cannot be as they describe :o)
Thanks Pete.
Cheers,
Norm.
