Raj, What's wrong with SQR? I used it for a few years and found it great. Especially for batch processing (both report writing and batch updating). We chose it when we ran away from Cobol about 9 years ago. At the time, our choices were Oracle Rpt (can you say RPG?), the very first version of Or

Here's a weird idea to consider: You might replicate to a dummy table XYZ, then rename CT_PRODUCTIED_VW to CRAP; then rename XYZ to CT_PRODUCTIED_VW.  Then rename CRAP to XYZ.  If there are any dependent stored procedures, you will probably be required to recompile them.  But, if the depende

I would suggest the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql script, which recompiles any invalid objects, or the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql script, which will invalidate and recompile objects for you. - | Brian McGraw -+- Senior DBA | | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED

We looked at SQR in 1994.   We chose Perl instead, it was much more flexible.  The fact that Perl was free didn't have anything to do with the decision. Perl was just much more capable for data processing and reporting. Jared "Mercadante, Thomas F" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PRO

As someone has pointed out to me, latch contention is a consumer of CPU.  If you are familiar with Oracle's process of spinning on  a latch, you will realize that while waiting for a latch, the CPU will 'spin', rather than go to the expense of doing a context switch and moving on to something els

Unfortunately there *IS* (or maybe was) a bug (1967363) that caused contention for the root block of indexes. Since the root block always hashes to the same latch it's pretty easy to get contention on that one latch. It's also pretty easy to get with badly fragmented DMTs when checking for table

It works if you precede it with SET ORACLE_SID=yourinstancename (Windoz uses registry settings, not environmental variables) and run sqlplus from the command line (not the GUI). Also, the Oracle owner is the ADMINISTRATOR userid (at least on my boxes). Of course, your milage may vary.

I believe Oracle will round that block size off. What I would not be sure of is what Oracle did during database creation. I believe it should have gone with an 8K (8192 bytes) block size since the specified size of 4608 Bytes is above a 4K (4096 Bytes) block size. Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DB
