Error in creating snapshot

Question

Hi,
I use the following script to create snapshot for my table everyday.
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW item20060830
NOCACHE NOPARALLEL BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
NEVER REFRESH
AS SELECT
FROM
item;
However, these few days, it fails to do so and gives me the following
error whenever I run it.
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kcbgtcr_12], [1], [], [],
Can someone advise what could be the possible reason?
I'm using Oracle9i Enterprise Edition 9.0.2.1 (solaris version).
Thank you.

Answer 1

Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program exceptions. It indicates that a process has encountered a low-level, unexpected condition. Causes of this message include:
1) timeouts
2) file corruption
3) failed data checks in memory
4) hardware, memory, or I/O errors
5) incorrectly restored files
The first argument is the internal message number. Other arguments are various numbers, names, and character strings. The numbers may change meanings between different versions of Oracle.
Action: Report this error to Oracle Support Services after gathering the following information:
1) events that led up to the error
2) the operations that were attempted that led to the error
3) the conditions of the operating system and databases at the time of the error
any unusual circumstances that occurred before receiving the ORA-00600 message
4) contents of any trace files generated by the error
5) the relevant portions of the Alter files
Note: The cause of this message may manifest itself as different errors at different times. Be aware of the history of errors that occurred before this internal error.
