I've 3-4 servers with 16-26G of memory, that I thought I could use for some
large sorts we're running at night.
 
I got back 
06:24:20 LNW>ALTER SESSION SET SORT_AREA_SIZE =3147483647;
ERROR: ORA-00068: invalid value 3147483647 for parameter sort_area_size,
must be 
between 0 and 2147483647
 
Opened a TAR and OS said it was OS dependent.  I asked what limit was and he
said he didn't have that info, BUT, if I re-started DB the problem should go
away...   I was hoping for a more concrete answer.  And TAR still hasn't
been updated although I did get phone call.
