Re: Severe bug using BLOB's in 8i

Thanks for the response.

You may want ot investigate the effects
of PCTVERSION as well, as this makes
Oracle leave more (or less) copies of
'deleted' LOBS in the LOB segment.
With errors due to variations in actual
LOB sizes, PCTVERSION is the percentage
___under the highwater mark of the segment___ that may be holding older versions of LOBS.
