Yes, I ran the query from the SYS schema and it returned the same number:4855, the same as count(*) from dba_extents.

I have just created a new table: create table x1 (col1 number) tablespace data_ts, inserted one row and run: select * from dba_extents where segment_name = 'X1'; It is still sitting there. The response to any other dictionary view is spontaneous except this dba_extents, which is confusing me. I issued: select * from dba_objects where ..., select * from dba_segments where .... etc. They are all responding fine. There are not many users at the moment. System tablespace is 500M size and 300MB is free. DB is 40Gig in size. It is on HP_UX 11.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.2.0 (64bit) database. Any other ideas?

How many rows are in this table? Mine has 12,937 rows, and is kinda slow to respond compared to the other system tables. Do you have a test database to compare with? Is it possible that your system tablespace has become badly fragmented? What is your system load, is it possibly a contention problem of some type. Why not run STATSPACK (or utlbstat) while you do this query and see what is being waited for? Why don't I shut up and send this? Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 12:58 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear List, When I query dba_extents , Iam getting response after half an hour to 40 minutes, but when I query any other dictionary view it is spontaneous. Everything else is fine in the database and there are no problems, except the above problem. Iam not getting any clue how to fix this. Iam thinking of running catalog.sql and catproc.sql as a last resort. Iam not sure it would fix the problem. Please let me know if there is any other way to fix this problem.
