Is there any special way to use the Indexex in Oracle with ObjectPal. , , Seems like I can only use the qlocate method against oracle. Also this method is not very efficient. I call the switchIndex("ORACLE INDEX")method before I try to do a locate. Is there another way to handle this?, , Thanks!

I installed the BDE on the network, now the proble is whenever I try to create a distribution package and select the runtime files it also include the BDE. The install programs now overwrites the previous install of the BDE. , 1)Can the runtime files be installed on the network or does it have to be locally distributed?, 2)If Locally distributed, how can I prevent the BDE from being selected?, 3)If I do an uninstall it removes the BDE from the network, unchecking the uninstall feature only prevents the registry entries from being removed, can this be blocked?, 4)Where can I find out which files are included in the runtime files so I can use install shield instead of the the distribution expert and also which ones should be registered.

In the Isql tool the user is able to get metadata on an object that resides in the databse. How is this done. Is this stored in a file somewhere?
