If I understand well your question, I don't think that a 'result set' (as, say, a collection of rowids or whatever) really is identified. If you have a sort, then yes, you have a kind of 'result set' in temporary segments. Otherwise all you need is the SCN at the beginning of the query, and everything you need is either in regular blocks or 'undo' blocks. Would you have ora-1555 otherwise ? -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
