Hello,
strange behaviour:
table ttt (c1,c2,23) with primary key (c1,c2)

select count(*) from ttt .... returns 10000 rows
select c1,c2 from ttt .... returns 10000 rows
select * from ttt .... returns 14000 rows
select c1,c2,c3 from ttt .... returns 14000 rows

Can anyone explain it to me?

Regards
zdenek

Not that we don't believe you, but can you run those 4 queries in SQL*Plus and cut and paste the results back here.

There's something else going on here.

That can't be. That can only return ONE row. (with MAYBE a value of 10000)

You've either got a serious bug or there's something else going on you haven't told us about.
Can you post the following:
Version of oracle are you using.
The exact definition of T156T.
Explain plans for each query.

You forgot to post your oracle version.

Looks like you might have a corrupted index.

Have a look at metalink note 457021.1

Sorry - Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.

The note in metaling says: "if an index is corrupted, rebuild it - alter index name rebuild online".

But I cannot rebuild this index, because in the table there are DUPLICATE ROWS (even though there exist UNIQUE index on the table, so these duplicities should not be inserted - dont ask me, how they has been inserted).

So the questions are:
1. how could the duplicities been inserted, when there an unique index exists?
2. how can we repair it?

thanks a lot

Can you prove that? Please, post SQL*Plus session which displays columns that are used in UNIQUE INDEX - a few duplicate records will be enough.

Just a question: do those "duplicates" have something to do with NULL values in "unique" columns? Because, nulls don't count when uniqueness is in question. Something like this:
SQL> create table test
  2  (id number,
  3   name varchar2(20)
  4  );

Table created.

SQL> create unique index iun_test on test (id, name);

Index created.

SQL> insert into test (id, name) values (1, 'Little');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into test (id, name) values (1, null);

1 row created.

SQL> insert into test (id, name) values (1, null);
insert into test (id, name) values (1, null)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (SCOTT.IUN_TEST) violated


SQL> insert into test (id, name) values (2, null);

1 row created.

SQL> select * from test order by id;

        ID NAME
---------- --------------------
         1 Little
         1                
         2

Disabling constraints and enabling them with the NOVALIDATE option can do that.
Used often for "lets-do-this-fix-quickly-I-am-sure-its-ok" kind of fixes.
See here for an example

If you've got duplicate data in your table that shouldn't be there then you've going to have to delete it.

Hello,
the NULL values are disabled in index-fields.

There is an example of duplicities:
select * from sapr3.T156T a 
where a.MANDT='001' 
AND a.BWART='551' 
AND  a.rowid > ANY (select b.ROWID from sapr3.T156T b 
                    where a.MANDT=b.MANDT 
                    AND a.SPRAS=b.SPRAS 
                    AND a.BWART=b.BWART 
                    AND a.SOBKZ=b.SOBKZ 
                    AND a.KZBEW=b.KZBEW 
                    AND a.KZZUG=b.KZZUG 
                    AND a.KZVBR=b.KZVBR 
                    AND a.BTEXT=b.BTEXT
                   );

That looks pretty conclusive - your index is stuffed.

I think you need to find out which you need to keep - the Unique constraint on the index, or the duplicate data.

Once you've decided which is important, delete any duplicate data (if you want an unique index) and then drop and recreate the index.
