Everybody: Has anyone experienced performance issues with dba_extents view (bug 5029334)? I was told by Oracle that the workaround is to create a new view and use it instead of dba_extents. When I asked whether I can just recreate the dba_extents view I was told that the results can be far reaching and should be fully tested. I interpret that as Oracle does not really know what the results are. I wanted to see if anyone has hit this bug and what did you do. thank you Gene Gurevich -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
