Guys, I have been researching this. I upgraded and after the upgrade some of the IXORA views (i.e. X$..) showed up as invalid. I found a note and other documentation from Dennis Williams and others that states you should drop the views - except - the X_$KSQST view used by statspack. Can I just drop that view and does it get recreated when I recreate statspack? Thanks, Paula --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo!
