Yes you can. But it will only be that way for new records added. We had the same problem on 8.0.5 .

But that should be ok. Our problem was that , on new records, we had reads coming thru that appeared to do full table scans while the initial inserts were coming thru. This, apparently, caused a problem with the tables because locks started to build up. When we changed our initrans to 2 on all those tables, our locking problem went away.

Hi,

I have 8.1.7.1 running on HP-UX. One of my table is heavily being updated
and I see blocking locks. I have recalled that if I change the INITRANS value from 1 to 2, the blocking locks should go away. Question I have is
can I modify it in the fly without dropping and recreating the table.

Thanks
Bing
