out of memory problem

[Kong, Alan]

Hi,
 
Is there any know how to fix the following problem?
 
I'm running a test program to just select user from dual on my dbi program
and it give me the following error message:
 
Out of memory during large request for 1073745920 bytes at
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/PA-RISC1.1/DBD/Oracle.pm line 262.
 
Oracle 8.1.7
Perl 5.6.0
DBI 1.08
 
Thanks,
 
Alan
