Deepak,
To be quite honest, I can't remember. I'm like that with details sometimes. I tend to forget them, though I remember the reason I learned them in the first place. :) This is on MetaLink somewhere if you care to look for it. I really can't do that now. It's back to the grindstone for me. The grindstone in this case being iFS 1.1.9. Ah the joy of troubleshooting. :) Jared Deepak Thapliyal <deepakthapliyal@ To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> YAHOO.COM> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: killing system user [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/03/01 09:55 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L Hi Jared why does the serial# have to change due to rollback? lots of us would be curious for a brief expln ...
