Seema:
I faced this problem a couple of months back. The combination of increasing
the SGA and reducing the hash_area_size from 20 megs to 4 megs helped me
out. Also, I am running MTS and I had not configured the large pool.
Configuring large pool made a huge difference.
I'm appending clips from Raj and Tim. There's some explanation of why
reducing hash_area_size might help.
Do you have the full text from the error message? This might help us also.
Good luck!
