RE: Limited SORT_AREA_SIZE
Arun - No, I just needed to rebuild our largest table this weekend and re-create the indexes afterward. Fortunately with SORT_AREA_SIZE at 150-meg., the indexes build in a reasonable amount of time, so it was merely an inconvenience. I was able to enjoy one day of the weekend. I just wondered for next time I do this. Since I only perform this task once every couple of years, I'll probably forget most of the details before I do it again. I just wondered if anyone had a reason why I couldn't go past 150-meg. But I appreciate your suggestion because there are obviously many times when bouncing the instance is inconvenient. But that is the best part of this list, the opportunity to get ideas from the great minds. Most days it is pretty humbling. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: Limited SORT_AREA_SIZE
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.

Re: Limited SORT_AREA_SIZE
There are limits to amount of memory a process can attach to. I have hit that wall with the size of the SGA from time to time. I would think that limit would be associated with the sort area also, sort_area + sga if you will.

I ran Oracle's maxmem utility and received: oracle.fin7maxmem Memory starts at: 5369596416 (1400d8a00) Memory ends at: 6399795195 (17d751ffb) Memory available: 1030198779 (3d6795fb) So it seems like I could have SORT_AREA_SIZE much higher than 150-meg. The indexes built fine, but I am curious about the problem. Any ideas? Oracle 8.1.6 (until Oracle gets a good 8.1.7 version) Compaq Tru64 4.0E 4-cpu. 4-gig. of system memory. shared_pool_size = 400-meg This is the only instance on this server.
