    Maximum number of tables and performance issues

    Hi, I am working on a database which potentially has a large number of tables. While I appreciate that Oracle theoretically supports an unlimited number of tables within a database, are there any known major impacts on performance or should I be looking to find ways to coalesce some of the data...

    Potential bug: reply to and Reply to all?

    I have had a really strange thing and wonder whether anyone else has seen it where I have clicked "Reply To" in response to an email and it has generated a "Reply to All". Anyone else seen this?

    Finding out if a trigger is enabled or not

    Here's an interesting problem; I have lost a considerable amount of hair recently with this one.
