-> Somebody told me that this is a bug from ORDER BY in such a big
-> fields ( the limit should be aprox. varchar2(980)) Is that true?

I seem to recall this documented in the O7 docs, buried in the back. Was something like a key could not be more then about 2/3 of a block in size. I was incredibly pissed that this was not listed under the "limitations" section. This was not docced in V6 (or at least I never saw it, and I STUDY the docs).

Good thing my max keys are around 300 bytes. Received on Fri Aug 05 1994 - 04:10:00 CEST
