ORA-8031 issue and solution if it is occuring due to truncate.

Posted on 07-Apr-2008 By Admin No Comments on ORA-8031 issue and solution if it is occuring due to truncate.

After doing further research on Oracle errors from metalink, I found following for ORA-8031.

CAUSE:

The data_object_id (seg/obj) stored in the block is different than the

data_object_id stored in the segment header.

EXPLAINATION:

The expected behavior can be that tables are being truncated while a query from

those tables is still in execution. Look if data_object_id is changing for the involved objects while queries are

being executed.

data_object_id is commonly changed by:

truncate table

alter index .. rebuild

alter table .. move

etc.

I manually checked for data_object_id for TRUN.ATS_CTI_EXT_CHECK and found that after each truncate the DATA_OBJECT_ID of this object is changed. So queries that are running at the time of truncate will receive this error.

Solution:

1. Stop the queries while truncate is going on for same table.

2. If above is not possible or difficult to implement, then replace “truncate” with “delete from”. This will result in segment fragmentation. At night time when no one is running query against this table, also plan to truncate it so its data structure will not be fragmented.
