Hey Dave, Are you issuing this thru SQL*Plus or Server Manager? Or another package like TOAD, that could be issuing some background queries'n'things that may be locking the table on you?
Since this is a test system, I wonder what kinf of trace you'd get by setting event 4020? Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am trying to do a TRUNCATE TABLE My_Table but keep getting this error; A self-deadlock among DDL and parse locks is detected. In most cases, this self-deadlock is handled internally. This should be reported to Oracle Support ONLY IF an error is signalled back to the user on a command-line or screen. The following information may aid in finding the problem. ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object DFARNSWORTH.REGION_ZIPS This is in my test environment and there should not be anything else locking the table. Any ideas??
