Hello,

On two schemas on a particular 8.1.7 DB, my users are getting locked out whenever they run a select statement with an "order by" clause.  This only occurs on two schemas on the database, and there are a total of 8 schemas. 

I have tried recreating indexes, but that did not work.  To verify, I am failing on ALL statements with the ORDER BY statement, not ust the ones which use an index.  In addition I tried reanalyzing statictics on all tables and indexes for the schemas with the issue.  Does anybod have any idea what could be causing this and wehat could be done to repaiur this?

Many, many thanks, to anyone that could help.

Matt

Are you certain they're locked?

It seems to me more likely that the order by is forcing a sort that needs more space than the memory you've got allocated by the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter & is therefore using disk, drastically slowing the whole thing
