Beacuse of the outer join, the optimizer had to ignore the inlist predicate and therefore the filter factor for the table became 1 (= all rows), manifested in TB_SEL 1.. At 06:29 AM 7/31/2003 -0800, you wrote: Thanks to Wolfgang for spotting the problem. It was not the inlist iterator at al

As explained to me (by Dan Fink I believe), Oracle doesn't KNOW if that transaction will involve the tablespace you are trying to make read-only or if it will not.
