I am creating a stored proc that will export a tablespace. One task it needs to perform is to place the tablespace(s) in read only mode to make a copy. Based upon the application and proc logic, there should not be any transactions against objects in the ts. However, if there are, the ALTER

Here's an even more kludgy guess. Maybe you can execute the alter tablespace in the pl/sql job queue. If it runs too long (how long is too long?), then you know that it's waiting (i.e., failing), and you could do something appropriate action? Fink, Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED]@fatcity.com on
