Ora-04030 Solution
could be many causes of this o you write a plsql function like this: declare type array is table of long index by binary_integer; l_data array; begin loop l_data(l_data.count+1) := rpad('*',32000,'*'); end loop; end; o you could be setting
Ora-04030 Out Of Process Memory When Trying To Allocate 64544 Bytes (sort Subheap Sort Key)
your pga aggregate target too high, higher then the system will allocate memory o you could be running on 32bit windows and are just hitting a windows limit because you have too many sessions o you might have ulimit set too low on your unix system and ulimit is artificially restricting the amount of memory you can allocate o and so on...... But basically - given the question "how do you solve ora-4030", the only casual answer possible ora-04030 12c is "get more memory or reduce your need for memory". Given that I have no context, nothing to work with, no example, no "we were doing this" - that's all we can say.... Reviews Write a Review some more thoughts on this please January 05, 2009 - 11:38 am UTC Reviewer: reader from India Dear Tom, as you have listed few out of many issues that can cause ora-04030 error, can we calculate memory useage of each session and adding all of this can we arrive at approx memory need on the DB server. I understand from you point that on Windows box (32 bit) we may hit windows limit if too many sessions are active. But if we get rough estimate of the memory required then it will help to say that how much more we need. If you can please share how to get memory useage of each session, here I do understand that it's poosible that one of the stored procedure executed may ask much more memory than other procedures/sessions, but if you can please share your thoughts on this. Thanking you in advance for your inputs on this. Followup January 05, 2009 - 11:46 am UTC v$sesstat - look at "session pga memory max", that is the maximum pga each currently connected session has allocated. or "session pga memory", that'll show the memory used by each session right now.

ORA-04030: out of process memory Tips Oracle oracle 12c ora-04030 Database Tips by Burleson Consulting Question: On an auto execute of an external job I get the error "ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1363891100346045112 nn bytes". Answer: This ORA-04030 can be caused by a shortage of RAM on a dedicated (non shared server) environment, a too small PGA, and by not setting kernel parameters large enough to allow enough RAM. The ORA-04030 is also common when running an import. See import ORA-04030 error tips. Also see MOSC Note 233869.1 titled http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_04030_out_process_memory.htm "Diagnosing and Resolving ORA-4030 errors". Essentially the ORA-04030 is clear, and "out of process memory" error, whereby Oracle cannot get the RAM needed to complete the operations. Depending on your release of Oracle, you have several options: Increase pga_aggregate_target Decrease sort_area_size and/or hash_area_size Move to multi-threaded server (a.k.a. MTS or shared servers) Kernel Parms - (Karpinski, Joseph E) In installing Oracle 10G we ran into a number of ORA-4030 issues. We changed the setting of "ulimit" as follows to resolve the issue: ulimit –a time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 4194302 memory(kbytes) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 4096 It's also part of the Oracle 10G pre-install checklist: Section "ULimits OK?"

In a multithreaded configuration (shared server), the UGA is allocated in the SGA (System Global Area) and will not be responsible for ORA-4030 http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/showthread.php?62620-How-to-solve-ora-04030-error errors. What causes this error? Since you run into this error, you can't allocate memory from the operating system. This could be caused by your process itself, like your process is just requesting too much memory, out of or some other reasons cause the operating system memory to be depleted, like a too big SGA or too many processes to be accomodated for the systems virtual memory (physical memory + swap space). Many operating systems impose limits on the amout of memory a single process can acquire to protect itself.This leads to the following questions: Is there an operating system limit set? You can check limit information's using >ulimit -a and find out of process the information related to memory using vmstat vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu------ r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 1 0 5511440 243988 213924 92768888 1 1 1860 639 0 0 7 0 91 2 0 vmstat output contains the following fields: Procs - r: Total number of processes waiting to run Procs - b: Total number of busy processes Memory - swpd: Used virtual memory Memory - free: Free virtual memory Memory - buff: Memory used as buffers Memory - cache: Memory used as cache.

It's usually a good idea to confirm the process memory usage from the Operating System point of view. After all, it might no be an oracle server process that is using too much memory.Usually, for server processes, oracle and the operating system more or less agr

Lauderdale, FL Posts 3,555 ORA-04030 means your shared_pool is too fragmented. As a workaround you can try to flush shared_pool but that's not a solution - just a bandaid. You may want to incease shared_pool size - which will only delay the next occurence of the issue. You may want to check for queries not using bind variables. Check Metalink for details. Lots of information about ORA-04030 and no magic bullet; all depends on your system. Pablo (Paul) Berzukov Author of Understanding Database Administration available at amazon and other bookstores.
