RE: Tracing an ORA-01410 error

Peter,

a truncate on a table cannot be done while any select is active on it (DDL Lock). (I'm argueing it is the same for index ddl but have not testet).

But I know it is possible to do a complete refresh on a materialized view using truncate (must use atomic_refresh => TRUE since oracle 10) while select's are active on it because I used this as a feature some years ago just to overcome the impossibility of table truncation during active select's.

And, of course, materialized views are not unusual in data warehouses.

This may limit the searching for a problem solution to less objects.
