Hi Mogens, It's nice to see you in this list with other gurus. I would like to add a little bit info to this list about heap corruptions: Ora-600 messages releated heap corruptions are not signaled by corrupter. It's signaled by a process which encounteres corrupted blocks. So, analyzing heap corruption trace files do not make sense. If you would like to catch errors closer to corrupter, see http://www.unal-bilisim.com/qa/discus/messages/15/30.html?991049882 Danisment.... ----- Original Message ----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 2:55 PM I worked with RDBMS support in Oracle Denmark for far too many years, and I'm not that scared of 600's anymore. To provoke a bit, I find that they are in general harmless, and then in some cases indicate serious stuff. When looking at Oracle source code, you will (if you ever get the chance :) ) see this kind of thing: If.... then signal ORA-942 (or rather OERR(00942)) if .... something unforeseen happens, signal 600 with specific arguments (OERI(17112)) Else... signal ORA-1000 (OERR(01000)) Of course I'm making up these numbers, but the two functions called are OERR for normal errors and OERI for Oracle ERror Internal. So the ora-00600 [17112] is because the normal error codes couldn't handle the situation. So the first argument for an ora-600 error is the "error code" and is indeed specific for a certain part of the Oracle code. Support/Development can easily look up where in the code this is signalled, but it can be very difficult to find out why it was signalled (I'm saying this, because I rarely could figure it out - of course all the smart types could, but I couldn't). In the case of ORA-00600 [17112], however, I do have some notes: Internal heap errors/corruptions: [17066] [17112] [17114] [17148] [17182]. E.g. "BAD MAGIC NUMBER" in trace file So look in the trace file for "BAD MAGIC NUMBER" and you will know that a problem occurred in the heap. There can of course be a lot of reasons for this magic number to give errors when computed. Check the bug database or Support for specifics. But it's not fatal or anything. "A.
