I am using the NUM_ROWS column from the built in view USER_TABLES. It works well most of the time, but sometimes the NUM_ROWS value is NULL, even when the table actually has rows.

Are the tables that make up the view only updated periodically? How can I ensure from within a PL/SQL program unit that the NUM_ROWS value is correct? Received on Mon Mar 20 1995 - 03:35:09 CET
