Hello All, I have a strange problem... I have a table on which i am doing an update. Its a partition table and the local index on the column which is being updated is in an unusable state. I have a database trigger at statement level (before update of col_a for ....) where i do an execute immediate ' alter session set skip_unusable_indexes = true';
i log into sqlplus as the owner of the table and do the following ---------------------------------------------------------------- SQL> connect [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enter password: ****** Connected. SQL> UPDATE nevadmin.DM_MORTGAGE_LOAN_HIST SET ORIGINATION_SOURCE_KEY = 11111 where 2 mortgage_loan_key = 11111 and period_key = '30-JUN-03'; UPDATE nevadmin.DM_MORTGAGE_LOAN_HIST SET ORIGINATION_SOURCE_KEY = 1166444 where * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01502: index 'NEVADMIN.DM_MORTGAGE_LOAN_HIST_BK13' or partition of such index is in unusable state SQL> / 1 row updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question is why does the trigger not fire for the first time... When i do the / i am able to update the table which means the trigger is firing the 2nd time. Any help would be greatly appriciated.. thanks, sathish. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Consolidate POP email and Hotmail in one place -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
