[Quoted] Hi gurus,

[Quoted] [Quoted]     I have a question for you all. One of my developers is trying to update a table with around 16500 records . She is trying a very simple  update statement which goes like

    update tablename set column1 = 'N' where column1 = 'Y'     She has around 12500 records which will be affected.     It has taken around 16 hours now for this simple operation. Other tables on the same instance do not have any problems for similar updates.

    There were about 35 constraints on this table which I disable hoping

[Quoted] to do better this time without any success. Am I missing something obvious ? Should I be
concerned about anything else ?? Any comments, suggestions , ideas will be appreciated.
