What is the execution plan? It is not unheard of to have certain operations fail to produce proper results. What happens if you query just the base tables involved? -- Daniel Fink OptimalDBA.com - Oracle Performance, Diagnosis, Data Recovery and Training OptimalDBA http://www.optimaldba.com Oracle Blog http://optimaldba.blogspot.com Lost Data? http://www.ora600.be/ William Wagman wrote:
Greetings, I'm running 64-bit Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 EE on Windows server 2003. The select statement select patient_id, study_number from ucdv_cc_summaryae where study_number = 'UCDCC#128'; returns 8693 rows. Many of these rows have study_number other than ucdcc#128 including ucdcc#157, ucdcc#159, ucdcc#165, ucdcc#171, etc. ucdv_cc_summaryae is a view and the column study_number is varchar2(100). I am perplexed and would appreciate any thoughts. I am still having difficulty getting to Oracle docs online. Thanks.
