Thanks Kevin,
Removing the "For Update" fixed it. I'm learning to take Oracle errors with a grain of salt. When I was working with Perl's DBD library (a wrapper around Oracle's OCI drivers), I got an error stating: "You must install a Solaris patch to run this version of the
Java runtime". The real problem was that I'd forgotten to add the Oracle library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. How that relates to a Java runtime, I have no idea.
Thanks,
Terry
