Peter, Wouldn't it be easier to just increase shared pool? Tom -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schauss, Peter Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 1:45 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Which packages to pin Oracle 8.1.7.4 - Aix 5.2. As a cure for the ORA-4031 errors which we are getting (up to 5 per day), I am looking at the possibility of pinning some of my stored procedures and triggers. Looking at the Toad Pinned Code screen combined with what I know about the application gives me a good idea of what parts of the application code should be pinned, but I do have some questions: 1. Are triggers normally candidates for pinning? (Toad lists them on its screen, so I infer that they are.) 2. Should I also pin some of the system packages which are displayed on the Toad Pinned Code screen? (e.g. DBMS_OUTPUT, STANDARD, DBMS_STANDARD, DBMS_SQL...) 3. Which of the dynamic views (V$... ) lists the packages, stored procedures, and triggers currently in the shared pool?
