Hi Rob, I did not understand the function then. It appeared to me that this
was a way to exclude specific schema's. But, I didn't get that a new
schema, not in the schema select list, would, by default, not be included. I
suppose that since there was also a way to specifically include schema's
that should have been my clue that only the included schema's would be
loaded from then on. Anyway, good news, thanks. Does your comment that the
"list of tables that does not change" mean that if a new table is added to
an included schema that it will not show up? Hope not.
