Hi all

I am trying to narrow down why a query didnt run for me (I beleive its is due to permissions problems)

My question is this

Is it possible to run an update query from toad and be told x rows have been updated.

Then when running the update as a select you find the dataset has not updated as thought (a value in a field was not nulled).


If i didnt have the permissions shouldnt i have received a ora mesg box telling me that my permissions wouldnt allow this? (no error was shown)

NB when the permissions were changed the next day the query ran and updated correctly)

Could there be other explanations for why it didnt run..

Apologies for being so vague but Its outside my area and on discussion with the DBA he was pretty sure I should have had error messages

Regards Steven

Very possible that you are not maked commit after update and before select from other session.

As mentioned, the order of the statements would definitely matter.

Also, when it says x rows have been updated, it doesn't mean anything in particular has been done. It doesn't guaranteee that any net work was done as a result, or that what you thought would get updated got updated, or that there wasn't an after update trigger that changed a value after the update.
