What happens if you do select count(name) from tab1.table?

>>> blair_at_pjm.com 04/18/01 09:55AM >>>

AIX 4.3
RDBMS 8.1.6.2 When I select through a database link I have having a strange problem. If I select a field or fields it works. If I select a count it hangs. Any ideas?

select count(*) from tab1.table; **hangs**

select name, address from tab1.table; **works fine**

Help!!!
