I made a SQL query to update registers on a table. The table has about 15 million registers. The update statement is like:

UPDATE temp_conafe
  set apoyo = trim(apoyo)
  where cve_status like '%APOYO%';

I keep checking the field v$transaction.used_ured to see if the query is rolling forward or backwards but when the number of records reach to more than 15 millions the query starts rolling backwards.

  • How do I get the update to complete successfully?

I’m not the DBA, just a programmer, but I can’t keep developing till that thing updates my registers.

    It looks as if your transaction is to big. Try to add another limiting clause in the where. If you have a Id field you can add something like this:

    where cve_status like '%APOYO%' 
AND id > 1 AND id < 100000

    You need to run it multiple times an change the range accordingly. If this is not an option you have to talk to your DBA and ask him to give you more resources.
