Hi Guys, We are currently unable to do a full database export as it fails due to dump file being over 2GB. Will setting this parameter to unlimited get round the problem? TIA, Lisa. -Original Message- Sent: 29 October 2003 21:15 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks to

Sorry Lisa, This doesn't work for export files. Sounds like you are hitting an OS limit. What are you running Oracle on. You can export to a compressed file via a UNIX pipe. (if indeed it is UNIX you are running on). Regards Lee -Original Message- Sent: 30 October 2003 14:39 To:

I think if you are having 32 bit Oracle software, this is the limit. There is a document on Metalink specifying export dump size limits with 32 and 64 bit software. Other listers already suggested you couple of options to resolve this issue. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

I'm tracing a session with 10046 event level 8. Here's the method I use: sys.dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session( p_sid, p_serial#, TRUE ); sys.dbms_system.set_bool_param_in_session(p_sid, p_serial#, 'timed_statistics', true); /* Max dump file size is 2G */

Richard, Are you sure that you are targeting your diagnostic efforts appropriately? If all users are using dedicated servers, then each trace file should only have the info for one session. If your interval for a statspack report is an entire week, its going to be pretty tough to find the

If I set max_dump_file_size greater than 2G I get an error. Perhaps I should be more specific: sys.dbms_system.set_int_param_in_session(p_sid, p_serial#, 'max_dump_file_size', 'unlimited'); gives: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

I believe that is a limitation with that procedure. If you are tracing your own session, use Alter session set max_dump_file_size=unlimited; Otherwise set it at the system level during your trace Alter system set max_dump_file_size=unlimited; If necessary, reset it after your large trace has

Thanks to everyone who responded. It turns out initialization parameter max_dump_file_size was set to *20M* and the trace files were getting cut off at that point. I didn't look at the ls closely enough and thought it was getting cut off at 2G. Apparently the init parameter overrides the
