Adding column to an exiting primary key
We have a table which already has a primary key. We want to make this have a composite primary key with another column. Is there any other way to do this without dropping the primary key and recreating a composite PK. Thanks in advance.

upgrade from 8i to 9i or 10g
This question might be a bit early for some, but at the end of the year 8i on windows goes off support. We will be looking at upgrading soon after. I would also expect that 10.2 might be on the horizon at that point. One would hope that would be a stable release. I would be interested to hear if...

nt/2000 oracle experience to install on linux
Do you happen to know of any good resources to help a windows Oracle dba very quickly appreciate the linux environment for an install there. It would be great to have a resource that can explain the similar (or not so similar) constructs in a windows environment to that of a linux one. Thanks, Laura
