RE: Can't update table

Thanks,

Those are not stupid suggestions. Sounds like good basic things to try.

I did try them and it lead to the solution.

In fact (sheepishly) the solution was even more basic. It turned out that there were two triggers being fired every time a row was updated. Once I turned them off, response time came back to normal.

I appreciate the contributions and am embarrassed to have jumped to the wrong conclusion so fast. Alas.

Listen,

     I know this may sound SOUND like a really stupid suggestion, but have you
tried logging on as SYSDBA and THEN try the update (if Sys can't do it, nobody
can:>)

Do you have DBArtisan? Download their eval copy and feed the update statement
in, then monitor the process (will show actual sql statement too). You can also
watch for locks.

Also, have you tired an INSERT into the table? What about a delete? Could have
to do with rollback segments? I have had my temp space run out space (for sorting) and it was hard to find. No errors either, had a huge rollback segement. But it was SORTING, and that ate up my temp space....... no indication of it in the logs or anything. Found it by watching the block usage
in the dba views....hrmf! The internal domino effect:>
