If you are a Kintana / Mercury ITG / HP PPM (Project and Portfolio Management) database administrator these SQL and PL/SQL scripts will help you manage the 'Demand' and 'Deliver' modules.

The scripts are packaged in a zip file as Toad ready .sql files together with this index page.

You can download them from the link at the foot of the page.

Unzip to a convenient directory and go...
