This command is used to put a datafile in recovery mode, not for dropping the datafile. Now you either need to do recovery, or drop the tablespace completely and re-create it. Simply put, you cannot drop a datafile. Suzy Sesi Odury wrote: Hi, I restored the database from cold backup.

Stole right from asktom. Thanks Tom. :) We do not build the result set anywhere in general. If you do select * from one_billion_row_table -- we fetch the data from the table as needed -- the results start coming back IMMEDIATELY not after we've fetched the last row. For certain types of

Just a warning for the future - this is no longer true on all versions of Oracle 9 because the wait_time column is a copy of the underlying x$ timing column rounded from microseconds to hundredths. Hence the wait_time can show a zero when the actual time is non-zero. You should depend only on

It looks like your process really is stuck in a way that has nothing to do with the Oracle code directly. You might look at the CPU usage of your session and its shadow using an O/S utility, but I suspect it would show zero CPU. Perhaps truss (or the AIX equivalent) might show your process
