Anupam I have been exposed to a similar error which I managed to solve using this *xmldom.freedocument* The error i faced was a slightly different from yours ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 4032 bytes (qmxdGetElemsBy,qmemNextBuf:alloc) I've blogged about the issue and how I have solved it in this article https://hourim.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/ora-04030-when-parsing-xml-messages/ Best regards Mohamed Houri www.hourim.wordpress.com 2015-01-03 2:06 GMT+01:00 Hemant K Chitale <hemantkchitale@xxxxxxxxx>: > Anupam, > > ORA-4030 is a PGA memory allocation error. > Direct Path Insert (the APPEND Hint) bypasses buffer allocation on the > buffer cache in the SGA. > The two are different memory allocation structures. > > Sent from my smart phone. > Hemant K Chitale > http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com > On 03-Jan-2015 2:21 AM, "Anupam Pandey" <my.oralce@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> I am executing below mentioned query with append hint . >> >> insert /*+ append */ into MYUSER.MONTH_DATA >> select 201411 as month_key, >> 1 as id, >> 7 as key , >> 24 as md, >> t3.wd, >> t3.mt, >> t3.ht, >> t3.pi >> t3.th , >> decode( t3.td1,'NaN','0',t3.td1) , >> decode( t3.td2,'NaN','0',t3.td2) , >> decode( t3.td3,'NaN','0',t3.td3) , >> decode( t3.td4,'NaN','0',t3.td4) , >> decode( t3.td5 ,'NaN','0',t3.td5) , >> decode( t3.td6 ,'NaN','0',t3.td6) , >> decode( t3.td7 ,'NaN','0',t3.td7) >> from MYUSER.STAGE_MONTH t1 , >> XMLTable(xmlnamespaces(default 'http://mydataproc.com/New'), >> 'REPORT/TABLE/TBODY/TR' >> PASSING t1.object_value >> COLUMNS TH VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TH', >> wd VARCHAR2(200) PATH 'TH/@wd', >> mt VARCHAR2(200) PATH 'TH/@mt', >> ht VARCHAR2(200) PATH 'TH/@ht', >> pi VARCHAR2(200) PATH 'TH/@pi', >> TD1 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[1]', >> TD2 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[2]', >> TD3 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[3]', >> TD4 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[4]', >> TD5 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[5]', >> TD6 varchar2(100) PATH 'TD[6]', >> TD7 VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'TD[7]') t3 ; >> >> But it fails after sometime with below error . >> ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 55600 bytes >> (kxs-heap-w,qmemNextBuf:Large >> Alloc) >> >> I was thinking that with append hint it will take route of directly >> loading into the disk >> bypassing memory which does not seem to be the case . >> >> Is there any other way I should rewrite insert statement to avoid memory >> error.
