Jim, Don't know if this applies in your case, but a couple of years ago I had similar problems with hot backups on AIX. It seems that if the initialization parameter log_archive_buffers was set to anything higher than 1, I had the possibility of getting Fuzzy SCNs (they didn't call it that,

Re: Column name

I'd side with Stephan on this. Many folks think it necessary to preface foreign key columns with the short name of the parent table.column. Most of the time this is redundant. There are situations where it is necessary though: 1. inheriting 2 columns of the same name from different

Are you out of space or quota? I assume this UFS filesystem. We use AFS here for quite a bit of stuff. AFS permissions are more granular; a person could have permissions to create a file but not write to it. The chmod command is still available, it just doesn't do anything on AFS files.
