All, Is there a possibility that Oracle 9.2.0.5 under Solaris 9 can allocate more than 1 GB PGA? We are running an application that bulk collects without a limit clause. A rewrite is in progress, but will take several days. In the meanwhile we are looking for a way to increase the memory max. The process grows continuously and at about 1GB it dies with ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 16408 bytes (koh-kghu sessi,pl/sql cursor meta-data) ORA-06500: PL/SQL: storage error We have for oracle: > ulimit -a time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 16384 coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 256 vmemory(kbytes) unlimited Any suggestions? Martin P.S. It is my understanding that pga_aggregate_target does not play a role here. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
