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

Make sure you are pinning your large and often executed packages, triggers, procedures, etc in the shared pool (should be done at startup). That will help eliminate fragmentation. select 'execute dbms_shared_pool.keep('||chr(39)|| owner||'.'||name||chr(39)||','||chr(39)||
