Thanks for the comments. And your comment about clusters -- from the standpoint of getting the great clustering factor and minimizing I/O, I experimented with self clustering a single table. I used data from a single partition and it was around 25 million rows. A straight insert into a heap

First major issue encountered, ora-600, due to the use of the overflow. Here are some comments from the Oracle analyst working the TAR: * We are failing as we are working with frames. There is a limit to the number of frames in 8i, so it is possible to run out--if the

The first one (seen in 8.1.6 and 8.1.7) was deadlocks caused by simultaneous SELECTs and the addition of a new partition (even though the queries were not querying the partition). Those deadlocks were occurring at the dictionary level - because even if an IOT is physically a single index,

Larry, Have you seen paper 138 at Orapub.com (http://www.orapub.com/cgi/genesis.cgi?p1=subp2=abs138) titled Index Organized Tables -- When should they be used? This has some benchmark figures. Also, do you use Forms as a client - this can introduce some gotchas with IOTs (particularly if
