This weekend I was rebuilding a large table and when it came time to rebuild the indexes, I cranked the SORT_AREA_SIZE up to 1/2 gig. It bombed off with an ORA-04030. I kept reducing the SORT_AREA_SIZE (bouncing the instance to make the change) until I got it down to 150-meg. Then everything ran fine. I discussed this with my Unix system administrator and he felt everything was fine from his end. I ran Oracle's maxmem utility and received: oracle.fin7>maxmem Memory starts at: 5369596416 (1400d8a00) Memory ends at: 6399795195 (17d751ffb) Memory available: 1030198779 (3d6795fb) So it seems like I could have SORT_AREA_SIZE much higher than 150-meg. The indexes built fine, but I am curious about the problem. Any ideas? Oracle 8.1.6 (until Oracle gets a good 8.1.7 version) Compaq Tru64 4.0E 4-cpu. 4-gig. of system memory. shared_pool_size = 400-meg This is the only instance on this server.
