Re: weird bitmap error

2001-04-18 Thread Joseph Testa


for those that care bug# 1666543 is the psycho bitmap count(*) error 
problem.

broke since it looks like 8.0.5 and still not fixed in 8.1.7

Joe,

I saw this same problem post on lazydba just yesterday.

It was a bug that is supposedly fixed in 8.1.7, but you
know how that goes.

It apparently does not corrupt data.  You probably should
look up the details on MetaClink.

  I force full table scan or force to use other bitmap index, or PK(normal

  Anyone seen anything like this before?
 
  thanks, joe
