Hi there

It seems this did not help. (problem was not on the application server
infrastructure database)

And as for the production database the shared pool is huge and most of
it is unused and free.

I am looking at scripts to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

Hi there

We found something interesting, it normally happens on a specific set of
queries, big ones. What we found if execute via the front end (Oracle
Application server involved) we get this error, if executed via toad
directly on the back end we have no problems.

What we are thinking is that the error is actually produced by the
application servers infrastructure database. We are altering the shared
pool and buffer cache parameters for this and restarting the environment
to see if this resolves our problems.

George,

Does this always happen even after a shutdown and restart of the
database?
It might help to look at the size of the free chunks in the SGA. Steve
Adam 's
ixora site (www.ixora.com.au) has some excellent scripts for getting the
size
of each of the free chunks.
