   I just converted my Oracle 1.2 to HC 2.0 with no problem.  I just opened
the system stack and converted it.  I noticed that the Query Stack didn't
have the execSql XCMD, so I copied it over.  I can't imagine what might have
happened to your conversion.  You might want to follow the directions for
re-installing Oracle.  Make sure to copy your dbs.ora, bi.ora, etc if you
have a local database.  I found the installation instructions very easy.

   As a side note, I have noticed that the Oracle 1.2/HC 2.0 combo is much
faster than previous versions.  Also, I really like the ability to use
SQL*PLUS from the shell instead of using SQL Lab in the System Stack all the
time...

   If you still are having problems, send me mail and I will reply with a
phone number to reach me at.
