It could be that pmon is rolling back the transaction. It could also be that pmon is never going to clean it up, which sometimes happens when killing an active transaction. I am a strong advocate of using 'orakill' on NT/Win2k and 'kill -9' on Unix to kill the process, rather than killing the

Bitmapped indexes will be fast for the queryagainst the 'Y's, but a bitmapped index may not be appropriate if you are getting lots of DML activity on this. Another option is to use NULL instead of the vast majority value ('N' - in this case) and create an index. The nulls won't be indexed, so
