Charlie, Do you check 'table fetch continued row' stats before doing so? If you're not waiting on chained rows, or the waits are negligible, why bother? Jared On Friday 17 January 2003 13:56, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I've done, is I have some PL/SQL code which looks for chained rows.

Jared, Thanks for the note - I loved the closing lines especially. I have to say that I've already spotted two error in my note, one of them a silly slip, but the other is likely to cause confusion. Silly slip - in the bit about decreasing block sizes - Good point - especially in Oracle

Don't forget about the more important issue of detecting corrupted archived redo logfiles. Datafile corruption can be bad; redo log file corruption is always disastrous, especially if undetected until recovery time... RMAN checks archivelogs for corruption while backing them up. - Original
