I have somehow created a black hole in my database. While installing
designer 6i my process freezes while creating the RM_ELEMENTS view. I do not
have any errors in my alert logs. If I create a new SQL*PLUS session it
hangs before logging in. If I bring up DBA Studios it hangs. My only recover
so far has been to shutdown abort the instance.

If I run the 'cdapirvw.sql' script (this creates the views) it goes to end
of job successfully. No errors. If I then run something simple like 'select
count(*) from rm_elements' the instance hangs. If I attempt to grant
rm_elements to a role the instance hangs. I can descibe rm_elements
successfully. I can drop it.

The create view statement for rm_elements is incredibly long. here is an
example
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW rm_elements AS
SELECT sdd_a1.changed_by
      ,sdd_a1.created_by
      ,sdd_a1.date_changed
      ,sdd_a1.date_created
      ,sdd_a1.irid id
      ,sdd_a1.notm number_of_times_modified
      ,sdd_a1.types
FROM   sdd_a1 sdd_a1
  UNION ALL
SELECT sdd_a2.changed_by
      ,sdd_a2.created_by
      ,sdd_a2.date_changed
      ,sdd_a2.date_created
      ,sdd_a2.irid id
      ,sdd_a2.notm number_of_times_modified
      ,sdd_a2.types
FROM   sdd_a10 sdd_a2
  UNION ALL
SELECT sdd_a3.changed_by
      ,sdd_a3.created_by
      ,sdd_a3.date_changed
      ,sdd_a3.date_created
      ,sdd_a3.irid id
      ,sdd_a3.notm number_of_times_modified
      ,sdd_a3.types
FROM   sdd_a11 sdd_a3

There are about 30 or 40 unions at least in this view. The command is a
couple of 100 lines long. Has anyone had a problem like this or a suggestion
I could pursue? I am working with Oracle support but have not had a
resolution yet.
