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. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Alec Macdonell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
