Hi, Asked you sys admin to boost the maximum memory allowable for a process.
I had that error on a hp box. I do not remember the name of the parameters. Once the sys admin had changed the memory process parameters, processes were able to use way more than 150M of ram. You can increase the sort_area_size for a particular session with alter session instead of bouncing the db. What I've done at a previous client was to change the session parameters using a database logon trigger who was checking in a table what sort/hash values to put for each user. --- DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > This weekend I was rebuilding a large table and when > it came time to rebuild > the indexes, I cranked the SORT_AREA_SIZE up to 1/2 > gig.
