All,

I've run into the following queries "hanging" when ran on a database with the 
optimizer_mode set to FIRST_ROWS.  If the optimizer_mode is CHOOSE, no 
problems.  When set to FIRST_ROWS both queries show never-ending wait events 
for "direct path read".  I killed the sessions before they finished after 
waiting for almost an hour for the queries to complete.

I re-wrote the 1st query against dba_tables to use EXISTS (also shown below) 
and that seemed to work fine.  But I'm not sure why or how to re-write the 2nd 
query to also be able to work....I've tried a couple of things with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Karen Morton

       dba_tab_columns.data_precision
