Babu - Wow, never had that one. Of course, I don't use that table much. How many rows are in this table? Mine has 12,937 rows, and is kinda slow to respond compared to the other system tables. Do you have a test database to compare with? Is it possible that your system tablespace has become badly fragmented? What is your system load, is it possibly a contention problem of some type. Why not run STATSPACK (or utlbstat) while you do this query and see what is being waited for? Why don't I shut up and send this? Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Everything else is fine in the database and there are no problems, except the above problem. Iam not getting any clue how to fix this. Iam thinking of running catalog.sql and catproc.sql as a last resort. Iam not sure it would fix the problem. Please let me know if there is any other way to fix this problem.
