Hi all, I have an 9.2.0.4 instance with Shared pool size = 256 MB Total SGA = 1170,710 MB MAX SGA = 1490,972 and I get ora-7445 frequently. After these conversations i started to think that my Open_Cursor setting with 350 is high for this configuration,but also need to this count. It has failed to patch 9.2.0.5 because of difficulties. Should i dedicate some memory in addition to Shared pool? I wish that could be a solution for my problem. Altay -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
