in reply to DBI + Oracle describe problem

Quoth the Cheetah:
$sth = $dbh->table_info;
Returns an active statement handle that can be used to fetch information about tables and views that exist in the database.

Also note that it says the method is experimental and may change.

Also note that the full documentation that I am reading from the cheetah is also in 'perldoc DBI'.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
