Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. That is what I meant by "live" views.

The plot thickens. I have a 10046 trace on the affected sessions, and
can see the event being posted. There is no SQL in the trace file
(no, I couldn't properly scope it per Cary Milsap, although I may have
to to now). I can get the object as that is posted as part of the
event.

However, even taking that into consideration, the tablespace id and
block noted do not exist?? Or maybe I have the wrong assumption that
block= means a database block??

The tables noted as being the object= do have LOB's in them, so maybe
there could be some sorting internally?...yes, I know that's
reaching....

Dang, I knew it sounded familiar! Should've checked Kerry first.
