-- known issues --
below are known issues with the third early adopters release of project raptor.

connections:
- cannot connect to remote database as ops$ account.
creating and modifying objects:
- any object > create - if object name contains a space but is enclosed in double
quotes, an error will be displayed to the right of the object name but the object
will be created successfully.
- any object > drop - you need to manually refresh the node for the type of object
you deleted.
- any object > grant - cannot grant to public and cannot grant to mixed case
object name.
- types > create type - the default is not specific to your choices and is not
valid to compile.
- recycle bin > undrop - need to manually refresh to have the object no longer
display (name will be changed automatically after undrop) in the recycle bin and
have the object reappear under the correct object type node. we are working on
autorefresh.

table > data:

- tables > your_table > data - pageup and pagedown buttons not working correctly
if cursor is in the rownum column.
- working on a way to manipulate blobs and bfile data

sql worksheet:
- sql history - if you change the sort order, replace and append may bring back
the wrong statement.

files:
- files ending in .plb cannot be opened if extension not defined.

the following capabilities are currently planned to be added by the production

release:
- tools > export - will be a ddl generator.
- connections > tables > create - will be adding support for creation of
partitioned and index-organized tables.

support:
support for the early adopter release of oracle project raptor is provided by the
project raptor forum on otn, not by oracle support.
