Hi!
try the following:
1. copy the chained rows to to a temporary table
2. Delete the chained rows from the parent table
3. reinsert the rows into parent table from the temporary table.

as u said u have already chained rows table, do the following:
1. create table abc as select * from
parent_table where rowid in
(select head_rowid from chained_rows where table_name='parent_table' and owner_name='schema');

2. delete from parent_table where rowid in(
select head_rowid from chained_rows where table_name='parent_table' and owner_name='schema');

3. insert into parent_table select * from abc;

PS: abc- a temporary table
parent_table - Table that contains chained rows

hope this helps u
anu

A row Migrates when a block was found to have the space available for a row which underwent an update that increased its size over and beyond its block's available space.

A Chained row occurs when there is no block which can hold the row after it underwent an update which increased its size beyond the available free space in its hosting block. The solution is to split the row over several blocks.

Hope that helps,
