Dennis,

It is happenning for any table in the database. I have just created a new
table:
create table x1 (col1 number) tablespace data_ts, inserted one row and run:
select * from dba_extents where segment_name = 'X1'; It is still sitting there. The response to any other dictionary view is spontaneous except this
dba_extents, which is confusing me.
I issued: select * from dba_objects where ..., select * from dba_segments
where .... etc. They are all responding fine.

There are not many users at the moment. System tablespace is 500M size and
300MB is free. DB is 40Gig in size. It is on HP_UX 11.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.2.0
(64bit) database.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
-- Babu

Babu - Wow, never had that one. Of course, I don't use that table much. How
many rows are in this table? Mine has 12,937 rows, and is kinda slow to respond compared to the other system tables. Do you have a test database to
compare with? Is it possible that your system tablespace has become badly
fragmented? What is your system load, is it possibly a contention problem of
some type. Why not run STATSPACK (or utlbstat) while you do this query and
see what is being waited for? Why don't I shut up and send this? Dennis Williams

Dear List,

When I query dba_extents , Iam getting response after half an hour to 40 minutes, but when I query any other dictionary view it is spontaneous. Everything else is fine in the database and there are no problems, except
the above problem. Iam not getting any clue how to fix this. Iam thinking of
running catalog.sql and catproc.sql as a last resort. Iam not sure it would
fix the problem. Please let me know if there is any other way to fix this
problem.

Thanks,
Babu
