ORA-00060 self-deadlock started happening during well established queries
In the last few days we have started getting ORA-00060 errors on queries used to populate summary tables in our data warehouse - an 8i databse on Windows 2000 v5 sp4. The problem seems to be caused when a large number of rows are selected and a group by clause included. There are no other sessions running and the trace file shows the session as locking itself out. My first thoughts are something to do with temporary sort tables, but don't know exactly what to look at. Any help most gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
