ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side

hi,
I have a windows desktop with Win XP. It has a few Oracle software on it.
Oracle 8i
Oracle 9i DS Rel2
Oracle Pl/Sql Dev
Oracle_Sid is set as the env variable.
Now when i try to log into sqlplus from bin directory of the 8i database, i have no problems.
However, when I try to log into sqlplus from 9iDS/bin directory it gives me error saying oracle might not have started properly. I try to log into other 9i DS tools like Translation hub and i get variety of errors like host is not available, etc.
D:\oracle9ids\bin> sqlplus
SP2-0642 : SQL* Plus internal error state 2165 context 4294967295 :0 :0
Unable to proceed
SP2-0152 : Oracle may not be functioning properly
With 9iDS Net config assistant, it doesn;t let me add oracle database 8i service name with ORA - 01019 error, when I try to test the connection.

You need to begin by reading the basic installation and configuration docs related to having multiple Oracle homes.

You will not be successful with Oracle if you do not invest in education and reading.

  • Urgent help with ORA-01062: unable to allocate memory for define buffer

    Hello, Folks!
    I have a c++ code that is using OCI API that is running both in
    windows and in spark.
    (The same c++ code compiled and running in both platforms)
    and asking the same query.
    In windows, everything is OK but in spark
    it failes...
    The ORACLE Server is installed on win2003 station
    Both client and server ORACLE version is 10.2.0.1.0
    The code is running on spark(oracle instant client is installed)
    This query is a simple select query that selects only one field
    of type VARCHAR2(4000) (the same problem with happen with any
    string type field larger than 150 characters)
    The error occured when calling for OCIDefineByPos method
    when associating an item in a select-list with the type and output
    data buffer.
    The error message is: ORA-01062: unable to allocate memory for define
    buffer
    (This error message signifies that I need to use piecewise operation...)
    But it happens even if I make this varchar2 field to be of size larger
    than 150.
    It is not fair to use piecewise fetch for such a small fields sizes.
    May be there is not configuration setting that can enlarge this
    I know that I wrote here a very superficial description.
    If somebody knows something about this issue, please help
    Thanks

    I had a special luck today after searching the solution per weeks:)I have got a solution.
    When I get the size of the oci field, in the following expressioin
    l_nResult = OCIAttrGet(l_oParam->pOCIHandle(), OCI_DTYPE_PARAM, &(orFieldMD.m_nSize), NULL, OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE, m_oOCIErrInfo.pOCIError());
    orFieldMD.m_nSize was of type ub4 but according the manual it must be ub2.
    As a result, the number returned was very large (junk?) and I passed this value to OCIDefineByPos
    Now I changed the type and everything is working!!!
    In windows there is not problem with this expression :)
    Thanks

  • ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4096 bytes if shared memory

    Hello Gurus,
    Did anyone got this type of error before:
    ERROR:
    ORA-20414: Materialized View refresh failed - ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path
    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4096 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","IDX_MIF_SITE","pacdHds_kkpaco","stP_kkpacd: kkpodPacdInit")
    Every sunday full refresh of the data warehouse is scheduled. This sunday it didn't complete and gave us the above error. This can be solved by increasing the shared pool memory size. But DBA doesnot want to increase it every sunday(This has been going on for 3 weeks now) and it's not feasible to increase like this everytime.
    We want to find the actual cause of it and fix?
    Does anyone know the solution or can throw some light on this issue?
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    We want to find the actual cause of it and fix?The cause is simple - you have run out of memory assigned to the Shared Pool in the SGA.
    The root cause is more of an issue. The Shared Pool is mostly used for keeping the SQL statements and supporting information (such as cursor support). Each unique SQL statement requires it's own area in the shared pool, however identical statements can used the same (shared) area. Shared Pool is also used to store the 'current' data dictionary (table, view, etc.) information. And in some cases, it's also used for 'large' operations such as direct path insert block builds.
    Some of the possible reasons for running out of shared pool might include
    - it's simply undersized;
    - not enough SQL is actually shareable;
    - the large pool has not been allocated.
    That second one is frequent when the application builds up SQL statements by concatenating pieces, including literals (user input) and then executing the unique statement. This is a common technique by developers using .Net, Perl or having SQL Server background. (That mode of operation is very susceptible to SQL Injection.)
    You can get a lot more info from:
    - searching the forum;
    - looking in the docco (Concepts manual and Performance Tuning guide);
    - books, like Tom Kyte's "Expert One on One Oracle", "Effective Oracle By Design", and newer on apress.com

    Whats could be the reason?

    There could be a few reasons causing the problem. From literal message it would look like your shared pool size is small and you need to increase. But the root cause of the problem is a little more complicated than that. I suggest you read metalink doc

  • ORA-04301:Unable to allocate 8144 bytes of shared memory

    I am using 64 bit version of oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
    I am randomly getting this error. The full error message is below:
    ORA-04301:Unable to allocate 8144 bytes of shared memory("large pool","COMPANYHISTORY","kxs-heap-w","qesaQBinit:buffer")
    The table name keeps changing as the queries change. Similarly sometimes instead of "large pool" I get "shared pool" in the above message.
    I tried increasing the shared pool size but the problem did not resolve.
    Please help
    Regards
    Madhup

    I have already tried that, but I am not able to solve the problem. Is there a way to compute how much space you should define for the shared pool, the large pool etc.

  • ORA-29855 - Unable to allocate shared memory

    Hi,
    We are encountering troubles (unable to allocate shared memory) while indexes creation. We tried to increase the share_size_memory (actually 52 mb) but this had no effect on this error. The Oracle error code is ORA-29855.
    The database is version 8.1.7, hosted on a Linux machine (RedHat 7.2) with 512 mb of memory. The code used for the index creation works fine on other machines (code from 9iAS Wireless installation) running with Windows 2000 as operation system.
    Any help or comment will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Fabrice Clari.
    The error message is:

    Which portion of shared memory did you increase? The error indicates you need to increase large_pool_size. It seems you may also have other problems since you have several errors, and this only relates to the ORA-04031 error.

  • Ora-04031 unable to allocate shared memory

    Hi Guru's
    Could some one help me in finding the sql's/program which causing the ora-04031 unable to allocate 3896 bytes of shared memory.
    any suggestion is highly apprciated
    Kind Regards

    You may want to take look at:
    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4032 bytes of shared memory
    >
    ORA-04031 unable to allocate n bytes of shared memory ("string","string","string","string")
    Cause: More shared memory is needed than was allocated in the shared pool.
    Action: If the shared pool is out of memory, either use the DBMS_SHARED_POOL package to pin large packages, reduce your use of shared memory, or increase the amount of available shared memory by increasing the value of the initialization parameters SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE. If the large pool is out of memory, increase the initialization parameter LARGE_POOL_SIZE.

    Hello,
    you could try to override the automatic memory management and setup your SGA to be larger by setting SGA_TARGET. If that doesn't help yet, you could even try to configure the memory size for the components in SGA manually, but I guess this won't be necessary.
    After your import is done, I'd recommend to use automatic memory management again.
    See the XE 2 Day DBA for details, especially the section on [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/memory.htm#ADMQS174]Managing Memory. It's not a complete guide, but a rough introduction, but it'll probably help you understand the memory concepts in the database.
    Keep in mind that you may only assign 1 GB of memory in total when you setup your memory manually.

    Hi,
    experts i need your advice here,
    in my application we have on so called Master view which has 550 columns, this view is left outer join with 60 other views, something like
    select c1
    from   master_view
             left outer join v1 on --
             left outer join v2 on --
             left outer join v60 the compilation of the master view takes around 140 secs, but when i give grants to other users, or i re compile again, it shows me the error
    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 128 bytes of shared memory plz assist me how i should resolve this issue,
    Regards

    Hi billy,
    your idea worked big big time,
    i encaspulated all the outer joins views in small small views and finally build mv on each views,
    the master view is plain equijoin, and has only 5 new mvs in its join condition,
    the performance is increased tremendously,
    thanks,
    some times i wonder y i dont get such ides ;-);
    all and all i can say,
    good judgement comes from good experience, but good experience comes from bad judgement...

    sga_max_size is 9632M and pga_aggregate_target is 3206M
    Do you know what is wrong ? Do you know why RMAN can't allocate memory to the virtual instance ?
    thanks

    The database which could not start is because of the low memory on the system or in the sga_max_size there is high value set. So the system could not allocate so large memory as it does not have free so much. There may be other reasons like OS limitation in order of usage the memory.
    Set a lower amount of memory in the database.
    Eg:
    SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=1600M scope=spfile;
    System altered.
    SQL> alter system set sga_target=1600M;
    System altered.
    refer the link it will be useful:http://arjudba.blogspot.com/2008/05/startup-fails-with-ora-27102-out-of.html
    else use manually copy the spfile/pfile to the new server

    Hello,
    Based on the error, unable to allocate memory for mutex; resize mutex region,
    have you tried increasing the mutex region?
    The documentation on the setMaxMutexes method is at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/java/com/sleepycat/db/EnvironmentConfig.html#setMaxMutexes(int)
    You can run db_stat -x
    to display the mutex subsystem statistics.
    You'll see the information for statistics like:
    Mutex region size
    The number of region locks that required waiting (0%)
    Mutex alignment
    Mutex test-and-set spins
    If that does not look to be the problem, just let me know.
    Thanks,

  • AE CC Error: "unable to allocate memory"

    Continually get this error: "unable to allocate memory. Decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame, or install more ram."
    I have been working on the same AE project-- 30mb project mostly full of animated shape layers. While working in this project this last week I keep getting the same error on both my macbook pro (8gb ram) and my imac desktop (16 gb ram) which makes me believe the issue is not my computer(s). 
    I initially got the error using AE CC version 13.0.2. After reading different forums someone suggested downloading the updated 13.1 version which fixed some bugs. I did that on my macbook pro and within minutes of working still got the same error.
    Then I down-saved the AE project to CS6, started working on it again in CS6 and quickly received the same error.
    I've also cleaned out my cache folders, but still nothing.
    I have spent hours investigating this issue and am at a complete loss on what to do. Super frustrating when working on a tight deadline!!
    Can anyone help?!!

    The project contains a lot of stuff:
    -Shape layers with repeaters to create animated sprites and animated backgrounds
    -created wiggly text using precomped textures with fractal noise, displacement maps and posterize time effects applied. Here is the tutorial I recreated: Jittery Type After Effects Tutorial - YouTube
    -imported mini AE projects of different animated objects that I used in past projects: book with pages flipping, dollar bills flipping in stack, coins stacking up, box unfolding.
    -More effects used- fill, drop shadow, bunch of track mattes, turbulent displacement, hue/saturation, exposure, cc bender- on flipping pages in book,
    -Lots of precomps mostly 1920 x 1080 some bigger like 1920 x 3000
    Would it be possible or helpful if I just sent my project and files for you to inspect?
