>>Hi All,

>>I was wondering something. In VFP, using a standard '.DBC' database. If I create a cursor with several records in my program. Set all the required properties. Then after I have made changes to these records. Even add records to that cursor. All I have to do is issue a TABLEUPDATE(.T.) and all the changes are sent to the database. Done & Done. My question is: In Oracle can I still do this kind of batch processing? I assume there will be some syntax differances, but can the concept still be done? Or must I send the changes back with INSERT & UPDATE statements record by record?

Thanks again for the info. We were just told by our superior that this could not be done. We were puzzled to say the least.

P.S. If they'd give us the cources I want ASAP. I might not have to ask these questions.
