    Problem updating Table with 90 million records

    Hi All,

    I have a table that has 90 million records and all I want to do is a simple update, add a flag to each record based on the criteria of the update statement but it keeps on crashing on me. I can't believe that Oracle 8i can't handle 90 million records so there must be something else going on. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or whether there is something happening in the background that is causing the update statement to crash?

    Thanks,
    Edward

    Try using pl/sql collections with bulk collect and forall. You may want to break up the update statements into chunks based on the criteria.
