Error: ORA 36
Text: Maximum number of recursive sql levels (%s) exceeded
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause: An attempt was made to go more than the specified number of
recursive
SQL levels was made.
Action: Remove the recursive SQL, possibly a recursive trigger.
*** Important: The notes below are for experienced users - See
[NOTE:22080.1]
In Oracle7/8 there is a hard carded limit of 50 recursive
sessions. This hard coded limit is NOT configurable.
If a you have hit 50 recursive sessions there is probably something
wrong in the code causing an infinite recursion.
Eg: PLSQL which uses DBMS_SQL to call itself over and over.
The following may help collect additional information about the
true problem.
NB: See [NOTE:75713.1] before setting any event in the init.ora file.
Add this line to the init.ora file for the instance:
event="36 trace name errorstack level 3"
This should dump a trace file when the ORA-36 occurs. The trace file
may
help identify the cause of the problem.

Subject: ORA-00036: maximum number of recursive SQL levels (50) exceeded
I got this error in my <SID>Alert log yesterday. I found that this
usually has to do with triggers that keep calling itself. Is this
"recursive SQL level" an internal parameter that cannot be changed? I do
not see this in my init.ora. Is this error due more to coding error?
Thanks,
Dave
