Oh yeah, I forgot to say that in 9.2.0.3 the shared pool was broken up into "heaps" (Oracle terminology) but whatever fancy stuff they were trying to accomplish by doing this (I think part of the magical self-tuning initiative) was buggy and this hastened the fatal 4031 situation. There is a parameter (so I have been told)
_kghsidx_count = 1 that makes the shared pool one big memory area. One of the "fixes" in 9.2.0.4 is to make this the default now (so I have been told). > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen Lee > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 11:39 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: RE: 9.2.0.4 anyone > > > > Initial testing indicates that the bug(s) that caused index > create/rebuild > online to lock a table and then get permanently stuck in a > hung state have > been fixed. > > It looks like 9.2.0.4 does NOT fix the problem of fatal 4031 > situations that > can only be cleared by restarting the instance.
