> Hi,
>
> Just recently, we have been frequently receiving errors like the following
> in our development database:
>
> ERROR:
> ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4096 bytes of shared memory ("shared
> pool","BEGIN
> DBMS_OUTPUT.DISABLE; E...","PL/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Bam Buffer")
>
> The size of our shared pool is not too small (I think); it's larger than
> our test and maintenance databases, for example.
>
> shared_pool_reserved_size string 800000
> shared_pool_size string 16000000
>
> What could be causing this level of frequent fragmentation? We have been
> developing a new application in the database, but this has been ongoing
> for some months; the errors appeared only in the last week or so.
>
> What should I be looking for to solve this?
>
> Thanx for any advice.
