What if have one such a line in separate file in one dir? Then there is no restriction on field length, you don't need to dump the file each time and maintain the real .symlinks. The 'lsdb' command (courtesy of The Hermit Hacker :)) will assemble all of them together and will show the DBA where to look for a specific table. File names can be your OIDs again, and just keep table name inside the file. Keep these files under a certain dir, and let the lsdb display them appropriately when needed. Or another idea is to create 'deferred' symlinks. The (real) symlinks only created when DBA issues the 'lsdb' command and lists them, and this list is maintained only when the 'lsdb' is invoked.... Maybe this sounds stupid, but just a thought... Serguei
