Well something is not static :) You mentioned this happens only with one
table. Have you tried running your procedure against that table only? Just
because a DELETE did not error does not mean it succeeded in the way you
wanted. You might want to throw a count() in the mix to see if you are really
clearing out the table the way you want to. Also is the actual data file
static from one run to the next? Would also help to see the schema for the
table involved and maybe a sample of the data, if that is possible.
