I'll try tracing the session. Global.client_dim is just a table with client info and a column that corresponds to client logins to enable row level security.
Thanks for the suggestions. As stated earlier..i'll post the resolution. chris -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 4:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You can flush shared pool, optionally, then enable SQL tracing and CBO tracing and check the trace file, anyway you will be asked to do that when you open a tar. What Oracle version do you use? What's the object you're referencing in your query -- global.client_dim? Is it a [partitioned] table, [m]view or synonym for some other object? -- Vladimir Begun The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation.
