The version of Designer used was 2.1.2, but most of the content is applicable back to version 1.2 It is also appropriate for version 6.0, and 6.5. The domain.dmp file on the CD is the only place it makes a real difference. It as built using Designer 2.1.2 and will not work in earlier versions. It should work with 6.0 but will not likely work with 6.5.

PREFACE:
Preface
This book is for those of you in the Oracle world that use the Designer tool to get your jobs done, but dread that one task we all must do: develop a corporate standards document. If you like doing these sorts of things, chances are you already have one, so this book is not for you (unless you are in need of a good sleep aid).
The idea to write this book came from our own painful experiences trying to create these documents on every major project undertaken. We found ourselves constantly writing the same thing over and over again. Each time we had to try to remember all the things we included the last time. What was that one little standard that we used two projects back that helped so much? What was that one we forgot to include the last time that nearly ate our lunch? Sound familiar? This, along with numerous e-mails from the Oracle Development Tools User Group
e-mail list asking for standards, led us to conclude that there is a need for a book that will help Oracle Designer teams get off on the right foot.
If you have had any experience with large (and medium-sized) projects, you already know how critical good, comprehensive standards are to the success of the project. This book is for you! If you have not had that experience, trust us; you need this book, too. This book and the template on the CD-ROM will save you hours of thankless drudgery.
