1.  Insert the rowids you want to delete into a global temp table
2.  delete from "real" table where rowid in gtt

Subject: faster way of doing this?


Hi,

The code needs to work on oracle 8i and 9i. The current code =
occasionally
gave "Ora-01555 (See Ora-01555.ora-code.com): Snapshot too old" error (becuase there is a commit =
within
the loop for each 1000 rows, which I took out in my test code below).
Assuming we can not change the RBS size, and I found Tom suggested to do =
the
bulk delete=20

http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=3D4950:8:17490901823893610313::NO::F=
4950_
P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:1046580359875

However my test showed the new method ran slower. Is there a =
better/faster
way of writing the same delete sql? The total number of "to-be-deleted" =
rows
could be huge in the table, so I need to use rownum<=3D1000.  TIA.
