CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX gives ORA-03113 error

Question

I am trying to use the CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX command in order to update the full Text Index on a table, which contains a word document as a binary object, but I get an ORA-03113 error every time I do this. I get the same error if the table contains an Excel file. It works perfectly OK if the table contains simple text files.

Hi Barbara - thanks for your response.
In answer to your questions;
Oracle version is 9.2.0.1.0
Table structure is created with following sql;
CREATE TABLE DOCUMENTFILE
     (DOCUMENTFILEID      NUMBER (10,0) NOT NULL,
     DATA                LONG RAW,
     FILE_SIZE           NUMBER (10,0),
     FILENAME           VARCHAR2 (510),
     ENCRYPTIONKEY           VARCHAR2 (100),
     VALIDATIONKEY           VARCHAR2 (100),
     MIMETYPE           VARCHAR2 (255),
     FILEEXTENSION           CHAR (3),
     DELETED           NUMBER (1,0)
Index is created with following command
CREATE INDEX ORGANISATION_TEXT_INDEX
ON COLLABORATOR.ORGANISATION(ORGANISATION_NAME)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('');
Resync command is as follows
EXEC CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX('DOCUMENT_TEXT_INDEX');
I am testing by runing the command via SQL Plus
In response to question 'Are you using inso_filter or auto_filter? ' - I dont know
Thanks for your help,
Peter
