I'm sorry your on a corner case of development where you're trying to do this on a shoe-string, but I don't think it's practical for Oracle or anyone else to solve all the problems of all the shoe string developers out there. It's just too complicated. It might work in one persons web site but break in all the other shoe string sites out there. It's just not a solvable problem. And I'd still like to hear what development environments you use that allow you to slide things into production servers and production systems with out making an modifications of your own code. I might appreciate being able to use one of those tools some day.
