Here's a key to the markup:

	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


CONFIRMED errors:


{90} In the first paragraph and code below it;
DBMS_SQL.DESC_T should be DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB
in both the first paragraph and in the code block below it.


{237} In the second table on the page, the description for Return Value 4 now 
reads: 

	"Do not own lock; cannot convert"

It should read: 

        "Already own lock specified by 'id' or 'lockhandle'


[306] IN PRINT: Table 5-2;
DROP_QUEUE and DROP_QUEUE_TABLE have their descriptions mixed up.

SHOULD BE:
Reverse the descriptions.


{disk}  In the place corresponding to the last example on page 214 of the 
text, "one second" should be changed to "ten minutes".
