Oracle iSupplier Portal Implementation GuideDo Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle E-Business Suite DataOracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle DataBrowser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle E-Business Suite dataunless otherwise instructed.Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, andmaintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such asSQL*Plus to modify Oracle E-Business Suite data, you risk destroying the integrity ofyour data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.Because Oracle E-Business Suite tables are interrelated, any change you make using anOracle E-Business Suite form can update many tables at once. But when you modifyOracle E-Business Suite data using anything other than Oracle E-Business Suite, youmay change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables.If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneousinformation and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle E-Business Suite.When you use Oracle E-Business Suite to modify your data, Oracle E-Business Suiteautomatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle E-Business Suite also keepstrack of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables usingdatabase tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track whohas changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep arecord of changes.xi
