Re: Strange ORA-02429 error when inserting into an iot

    Is it possible that you play on constraints, deferring checks for instance? There is a kind of logical disconnect between constraints, which refer to data, and the physical indexes that implement them - the physical index is or isn't here (especially in an IOT, where the table is the same as the index) and cannot be "deferred".
