Lisa,

The answer is very, very simple...Don't take a day off! No day off...no error...no failed loads...

Seriously, it sounds like either an index corruption (temporary) or an oracle bug. Is there anything in the alert log or in trace files? Try setting a trap on the specific error and examine the trace file. Are you using direct loads? Is the phrase 'WHERE CURRENT OF' being used by the package or other functions that are being called?

Hello all,

8.1.7, Windows 2000 SP2

Here's the error:
*
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01001: invalid cursor 
ORA-06512: at "ELVIS.CLEANUP_VEGAS_PK", line 1970 
ORA-01410: invalid ROWID 
ORA-06512: at line 1

Has anyone seen this error before? I run into this error periodically during data loads. I have done the following to search for the root of the problem:

No code references ROWID. Deletes are never applied to this table.
No inline views in any of the code.
Ran dbv on all datafiles while database was down. No problems identified.
Ran analyze table <table name> validate structure cascade on all recent partitions. No rows found in INVALID_ROWS table.
Was able to export the entire table without any problem.

I can't easily drop the indexes and recreate them. This is a very large table - ~25GB, 38 million rows. I also can't easily export/drop/recreate/import.

Usually when this happens I can re-fire the load and it will complete, no problem. It's a big annoyance and it seems like every time I take a day off it happens.

Any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks everyone.
