What is the difference between MVG Applet and pick applet?

Question : What kind of relationship exists between Position and Responsibilities?

There is no direct relationship between Responsibility and Position. The indirect relationship between Responsibility and Position is of Visibility. Both of them drive Visibility in Siebel. * Responsibility restricts access to particular view so that user cannot see those views. * Position restricts access to particular set of data. So, as a result both are used to limit visibility of users of application. After discussing with my friends and peers about this question I am getting a feeling that I am putting my hand in a bee nest but I think this could end up as a new learning to me and for all. So guys I beg you to tell me your views what do you think about this question so that this post can become the new answer for all of us.

2. What is a mutating table error and how can you get around it? Level: Intermediate Expected answer: This happens with triggers. It occurs because the trigger is trying to update a row it is currently using. The usual fix involves either use of views or temporary tables so the database is selecting from one while updating the other. 4. What packages (if any) has Oracle provided for use by developers? Level: Intermediate to high Expected answer: Oracle provides the DBMS_ series of packages. There are many which developers should be aware of such as DBMS_SQL, DBMS_PIPE, DBMS_TRANSACTION, DBMS_LOCK, DBMS_ALERT, DBMS_OUTPUT, DBMS_JOB, DBMS_UTILITY, DBMS_DDL, UTL_FILE. If they can mention a few of these and describe how they used them, even better. If they include the SQL routines provided by Oracle, great, but not really what was asked. 1.
