Delayed block cleanouts can still cause the ORA-1555, even after locking the table in exlusive mode. That's the purpose of the analyze, to force the block cleanouts. Jared Paul Baumgartel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/25/02 09:30 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L

Jared, would you elaborate more on this? Does this need to be a 'compute' or can it be an 'estimate' on the analyze? I read the info on Steve's site as suggested by Barb and it sounds like block cleanout may be the issue but I'm still trying to digest the concept/issue as it relates to my

Strange, I'd expect, that dropping 12 partitions should speed up the query. Still partitioning helps only if column, used for partitioning, is specified as one your search criteria, or if you do full table scan in parallel, or in maintenance when you can quickly drop a partition instead of
