Action: Remove the invalid mode from the statement or replace it with the keyword RESETLOGS, and try again.
Cause: The specified sequence does not exist, or the user does not have the required privilege to perform this operation.
Action: Make sure the sequence name is correct, and that you have the right to perform the desired operation on this sequence.
Cause: The value or values attempted to be entered in a field or fields violate a defined check constraint.
Action: Enter values that satisfy the constraint.
Cause: A foreign key value has no matching primary key value.
Action: Delete the foreign key or add a matching primary key.
Cause: An attempt was made to delete a row that is referenced by a foreign key.
Action: It is necessary to DELETE or UPDATE the foreign key before changing this row.
Cause: An attempt was made via an ALTERTABLE statement to add a check constraint to a populated table that had no complying values.

Cause: An attempt was made via a CREATE or ALTER TABLE statement to specify more than one ENABLE and/or DISABLE clause for a given constraint.
Action: Only one ENABLE or DISABLE clause may be specified for a given constraint.
Cause: An ALTER TABLE command with an ENABLE CONSTRAINT clause failed because the table contains values that do not satisfy the constraint.
Action: Make sure that all values in the table satisfy the constraint before issuing an ALTER TABLE command with an ENABLE CONSTRAINT clause. For more information about ALTER TABLE and ENABLE CONSTRAINT, see the Oracle9i SQL Reference.
Cause: An alter table disable constraint failed because the table has foreign keys that are dependent on the constraint.
Action: Either disable the foreign key constraints or use a DISABLE CASCADE command.
Cause: An ALTER TABLE ENABLE CONSTRAINT command failed because the table has orphaned child records.
Action: Make sure that the table has no orphaned child records before issuing an ALTER TABLE ENABLE CONSTRAINT command. For more information about ALTER TABLE and ENABLE CONSTRAINT, see the Oracle9i SQL Reference.
Cause: An ALTER TABLE ENABLE CONSTRAINT command failed because the table has duplicate key values.

, DEBUG
, or UNDER
) on a type.
Action: GRANT or REVOKE only the EXECUTE
, DEBUG
, or UNDER
privilege on types.

Cause: An attempt was made to ALTER with COMPILE option a type that is valid and has type or table dependents.
Action: No need to perform this operation.
Cause: The specified object type contains a nested attribute whose type is non-queryable.
Action: Use an object type with queryable attribute types.
Cause: The number of arguments specified for the default constructor does not match the number of attributes of the object type.
Action: Specify the correct number of arguments for the default constructor and retry the operation.
Cause: An error occurred while creating the storage table for the specified nested table column.
Action: See the messages that follow for more details. If the situation they describe can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support Services.

Cause: The index specified in the message was loaded.
Action: No action required.
Cause: The record was not loaded because all of the columns in the table were null for that record.
Action: No action required.
Cause: A variable length field was truncated by the end of the logical record.
Action: This is just a warning, but since a variable length field has the length embedded in the data for each row, you may want to check your data.
Cause: The record indicated caused an warning.
Action: Determine the warning and correct the record if necessary.
Cause: The loader being used is incompatible with this version of the kernel.
Action: Upgrade your loader to at least the specified version or use the conventional path.
Cause: A field specified as POSITION(*+n:y) had its relative start occur after the absolute position y.
Action: Check that you are not missing a delimiter and that the values of n and y are correct.
Cause: A parsing error occurred.
Action: Check the message following this parsing error message.
Cause: There are no free read buffers.
Action: Use the READBUFFERS keyword in the loader to increase the number of read buffers.
Cause: The record indicated caused an Oracle error on insert.
Action: Determine the Oracle error and correct the record. The offending column(s) are not known.
Cause: A resource that is not defined or that is specified twice appears in the CREATE or ALTER PROFILE statement.
Action: Define the resource before issuing a CREATE or ALTER PROFILE command. Also check the statement to see that each resource is listed only once.
Cause: An invalid resource limit of 0 was specified.
Action: Specify a resource limit greater than 0.
Cause: The same resource was specified twice in a CREATE or ALTER PROFILE statement.
Action: Issue the statement again, carefully checking that each resource is used only once.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a profile that already exists.
Action: Create the profile with a name not already used by another profile.
Cause: An attempt was made to assign a user to a non-existent profile.
Action: Assign the user to an existing profile.
Cause: An attempt was made to drop the PUBLIC_DEFAULT profile.
Action: The PUBLIC_DEFAULT profile cannot be dropped.
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a profile that had users assigned to it without using the CASCADE option of the DROP PROFILE statement. A profile that has users assigned to it cannot be dropped, unless the CASCADE option is specified. CASCADE reassigns users to the PUBLIC_DEFAULT profile before dropping the profile.
Action: To reassign all users to the PUBLIC_DEFAULT profile, issue the DROP PROFILE statement with the CASCADE option.
Cause: A negative value or UNLIMITED cost was specified for this resource in the ALTER RESOURCE COST statement.
Action: Only positive integer values can be specified for resources in the ALTER RESOURCE COST statement. Issue the statement again, using a positive integer value for each resource specified.
Cause: The COMPOSITE_LIMIT for the profile is exceeded. That is, the weighted sum of the connection time, logical reads per session, CPU usage per session, and private SGA space used during the session exceeded the limit set by the COMPOSITE_LIMIT clause set in the user profile.
Action: If this happens often, ask the database administrator to raise the COMPOSITE_LIMIT of the user profile, or determine which resource is used the most and raise the limit on that resource.
Cause: An attempt was made to exceed the maximum number of concurrent sessions allowed by the SESSIONS_PER_USER clause of the user profile.
Action: End one or more concurrent sessions or ask the database administrator to increase the SESSIONS_PER_USER limit of the user profile. For more information about SESSIONS_PER_USER and the database administrator's specific tasks of adjusting concurrent sessions, see the Oracle9i SQL Reference and the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide.
Cause: An attempt was made to exceed the maximum CPU usage allowed by the CPU_PER_SESSION clause of the user profile.
Action: If this happens often, ask the database administrator to increase the CPU_PER_SESSION limit of the user profile.
Cause: An attempt was made to exceed the maximum CPU time for a call, a parse, execute, or fetch, allowed by the CPU_PER_CALL clause of the user profile.
Action: If this happens often, ask the database administrator to increase the CPU_PER_CALL limit of the user profile.
Cause: An attempt was made to exceed the maximum I/O allowed by the LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION clause of the user profile.
Action: If this happens often, ask the database administrator to increase the LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION limit of the user profile.
Cause: An attempt was made to exceed the maximum I/O for a call, a parse, execute, or fetch, allowed by the LOGICAL_READS_PER_CALL clause of the user profile.

Action: The user must reconnect to the database.
Cause: The view specified in the SQL statement belongs to another user and cannot be explained.
Action: Create a view with the same definition that belongs to current user.
Cause: The table used by EXPLAIN to store row source information does not exist in the current schema.
Action: Create a plan table in the current schema or use the INTO clause of the statement to put the results of the explain command in an existing plan table.
Cause: The explicit plan table does not have the appropriate field definitions.
Action: Redefine the plan table to have the appropriate field definitions.
Cause: The specified plan table does cannot be found.
Action: Create the specified plan table or use an existing plan table.
Cause: The AUTHORIZATION clause is missing from a create schema statement.
Action: Proceed the schema authorization identifier with the AUTHORIZATION keyword.
Cause: One of the following:
Action: If the cause is
Cause: A statement other than a CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, or GRANT appears in a CREATE SCHEMA statement.
Action: See the Oracle9i SQL Reference or the valid elements of the CREATE SCHEMA statement.
Cause: A table definition with a schema name prepended to the table name does not match the schema name provided in the AUTHORIZATION clause of a CREATE SCHEMA STATEMENT.
Action: Check that the schema names match the one given in the CREATE SCHEMA statement.
Cause: The CREATE SCHEMA statement contains a view that depends on other views contained in the CREATE SCHEMA statement, or they contain references to non-existing tables.
Action: Create the dependent views in a separate CREATE SCHEMA statement and ensure that all referenced tables are either defined in the CREATE SCHEMA statement or exist outside the statement.
Cause: A CREATE TABLE statement failed in the CREATE SCHEMA statement.
Action: The cause for failure will be presented below this message. Follow the appropriate actions as suggested by the subsequent messages.

Cause: The explicitly or implicitly declared exceptions table does not exist.
Action: If the correct exceptions table name was used, then create the table and retry the enable command.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT statement when some rows violated one or more CHECK constraints.
Action: Do not select rows that violate constraints.
Cause: An attempt was made to defer a nondeferrable constraint.
Action: Drop the constraint and create a new one that is deferrable.
Cause: The named constraint does not exist.
Action: Choose a constraint that does exist or do not perform this operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a table with unique or primary keys referenced by foreign keys in another table.
Action: Before performing the above operations the table, drop the foreign key constraints in other tables. You can see what constraints are referencing a table by issuing the following command:
SELECT * FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = "tabnam";
Cause: Missing IS keyword.

Cause: The mode of the package can only be parallel or duplex.
Action: See SFA.H for the correct values.
Cause: The number of servers given was less than or equal to zero.
Action: Use a number greater than zero.
Cause: The number of request descriptors was less than or equal to zero.
Action: Use a number greater than zero.
Cause: The package requires that the number of request descriptors be greater than or equal to the number of servers used.
Action: Use a higher number
Cause: The maximum number of files to be used by the package was less than or equal to zero.
Action: Use a positive number.
Cause: The package was unable to set up handling by the server for the termination signal. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The total number of blocks to be allocated for use by the package was not greater than zero.
Action: Use a positive number.
Cause: The number was not a positive number.

Cause: To ensure that the functions act symmetrically, pointers to both the posting and waiting functions must be given.
Action: Either specify both functions or specify neither. The package will supply its own functions.
Cause: The ID of the segment specified for use as the shared buffer region was invalid.
Action: Use a different ID, or let the package specify its own.
Cause: The size given for the shared memory segment to be used as the shared buffer region was less than or equal to zero.
Action: Use a positive number.
Cause: The size of the shared segment that was specified for the shared buffer region is less than the number of bytes required. The first field of the "additional information" field is the size needed. The second is the size of the segment.
Action: Use a larger size segment or let the package allocate its own.
Cause: The package cannot allocate memory for an internal segment list because the system has run out of memory. The "additional information" field is the amount of memory that the package attempted to allocate.
Action: Close some processes or contact your system administrator.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The maximum number of files that can be used for asynchronous I/O has been reached.
Action: Shut down the servers and re-initialize the package with a higher number.
Cause: The length of the name of a file that is being opened for asynchronous I/O is longer than the maximum. The "additional information" field is the maximum length.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A request is not in the right state. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: No free request descriptors are available.
Action: Wait until some requests are filled and then retry the request, or shut down the servers and initialize the package with a higher number of requests.
Cause: The number of operations sent to either SFARD() or SFAWRITE() is less than zero. This is a user programming error.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: The arming of a signal handler for the "done" signal failed. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Some of the requests for asynchronous input or output were not serviced in the required amount of time.
Action: If the load on the system is high, it is possible that the timeout limit is too low. Reset it with SFAINIT(). If the server processes are dying due to unexpected signals, this is an internal error, and Oracle Support Services should be contacted.

Action: Check the UNIX number. If you are unsure about what it means, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: SHMAT(2) failed.
Action: Check the UNIX number. If you are unsure about what it means, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A server did not die after being sent a kill signal.
Action: The process may be a runaway; contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A server could not read a requested amount of data.
Action: Check the call to SFARD(). An incorrect file descriptor may have been sent to SFARD(). The number in the "additional information" field is the starting block number of the data segment being read in.
Cause: A server could not read in the request amount of data. The first number in the "additional information" field is the block number being read in. The second is the actual number of bytes that was read in. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: A server was unable to perform a write. The number in the "additional information" field is the starting block number of the data segment being written out. The first number in the "additional information" field is the block number being written out. The second is the actual number of bytes that was written out. The disk may have filled up.
Action: Check the UNIX error number.
Cause: A server could not write the requested amount of data out to disk. The disk may have run out of space.
Action: Check the UNIX error number.
Cause: A server could not read the number of blocks that was requested. The end of the file may have been read.

Action: Check the UNIX error number.
Cause: The buffer on which an I/O is being done is not on the correct boundary.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: The list from which the package allocates request descriptors is empty because all of the descriptors is in use.
Action: Wait until some become free, or initialize the package with a higher number of request descriptors.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A negative number was given for the I/O block size to be used by the asynchronous I/O package. This is a programming error.
Action: Use either a positive number or zero to get the default value.
Cause: The file number upon which an operation is to done is either less than zero or greater than the maximum number of files than can be open.
Action: Since the calling program should not touch this number, this is a programming error.
Cause: No segments are available to allocated.
Action: Free some segments or shut down the package and re-initialize it with a higher number of segments.
Cause: No segment of the proper size is ready for use by the caller.
Action: Free some segments and try again.
Cause: A segment that is larger than that desired could not be split because no free segment was available.
Action: Free some segments and try again.
Cause: The caller attempted to deallocate a segment but the "in use" list was empty. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: The caller attempted to deallocate a segment that was not on the "in use" list. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: A server was unable to close a file being used for asynchronous I/O.
Action: See the UNIX error number for more information.
Cause: The server was unable to open a file for use with asynchronous I/O.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for more information.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error.

Cause: The arming of a signal handler for the alarm signal failed. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The server was unable to flush its writes out to disk.
Action: Check the UNIX error number.
Cause: The client process was unable to open its log file.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for more information.
Cause: A server exited during its initialization process.
Action: Check the servers' logs for more information.
Cause: The client could not spawn a server. A possible reason is that the operating system has reached its limit on the number of processes that it can spawn.
Action: Either reduce the number of servers that are to be used, or reconfigure the operating system so that it can handle more processes.
Cause: An illegal value was given for the kernel flag in the information structure. Only TRUE and FALSE are permitted. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling routine.
Cause: A value was given for the flag that determines whether a file is to be left open after the client checks it to see if the servers can use it. Only TRUE and FALSE are supported. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling routine.
Cause: A value was given for the flag that indicates that operations are to be timed out. Only TRUE and FALSE are supported. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling routine.
Cause: A server failed to respond to the termination signal. The first number is the number of the server. The second is its UNIX process number. This is an internal problem.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A server did not respond to a posted request to shut down. The first number is the number of the server. The second is its UNIX process number. This is an internal problem.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: An operation using the asynchronous I/O package was attempted without first initializing the package using SFAINIT().
Action: Call SFAINIT() before using the package.
Cause: A server could not read the requested amount of data from disk.
Action: Check the UNIX error number.
Cause: A file upon which an asynchronous I/O operation is to be performed has already been closed by the package. This is a programming error.
Action: Check the calling program.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The time given was not a positive number.
Action: Use a positive number.
Cause: The time given was not a positive number.
Action: Use a positive number.
Cause: The value given for DB_SLAVE_BUFFERS in your INIT.ORA file is less than 0.
Action: Use a number that is greater than or equal to 0.
Cause: The value given for DB_SLAVE_BUFFERS in your INIT.ORA file is less than the number specified for the number of slaves, DB_SLAVES.
Action: Specify a number that is greater than that given for DB_SLAVES Alternatively, specify 0. The kernel will supply the appropriate number.
Cause: Stated in error code (errno).
Action: Resolve the problem.
Cause: Stated in error code (errno).
Action: Resolve the problem.
Cause: The ADSPCINIT program has not been executed.
Action: Execute the ADSCPINIT program as shown in your Installation and Users' Guide. If the problem persists, try restarting your computer.
Cause: The variable SMPDIDINI was overwritten, probably by client code.
Action: Verify client code (for example, in Pro*C check for illegal memory access). If the problem occurs outside Single Task operation, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error, note error code in errno.
Action: Restarting your application or your computer may cure the problem. If not, report the error to Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error, note error code in errno.
Action: Restarting your application or your computer may cure the problem. If not, report the error to Oracle Support Services.

Action: Restarting your application or your computer may cure the problem. If not, report the error to Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The environment variable EXTSHM was set before starting Oracle.
Action: Unset the environment variable EXTSHM and restart Oracle.
Cause: At attempt was made to use a feature that is not currently implemented.
Action: Do not attempt to use this feature at this time.
Cause: At attempt was made to use an operator that is not currently implemented.
Action: Do not attempt to use this operator at this time.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a feature that is no longer supported.
Action: No action required.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a feature for a later Oracle version than the setting of the initialization parameter, COMPATIBLE.
Action: Set COMPATIBLE to the value in the message (or higher), and retry the command, but be aware that this will limit your downgrade options.
Cause: An attempt to allocate stack space for communication purposes failed. This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The communication path between Oracle and the user task has stopped. This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The version of Oracle connected to via Net8 does not support this version of the Net8 protocol.
Action: Upgrade the older version of Oracle and try again.
Cause: Data being transferred between the user program and Oracle overflowed the buffer space available. This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The version of Oracle connected to via Net8 does not support the version of the Net8 protocol.
Action: Upgrade the older version of Oracle and try again.
Cause: A break was processed on the communications channel, but was not properly handled by Net8 software. This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A statement containing a Net8t connect string was issued to the single-task server. For example, a database link was used in a SQL statement.
Action: Do not use Net8t connect strings in a single-task environment.
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8 two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
In addition, this message could occur when any of the following statements/commands have been issued:
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A call to Oracle was attempted when no connection was established. Usually this happens because a user-written program has not logged on. It may happen if communication trouble causes a disconnection. In addition, this message could occur when ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION were issued with the IMMEDIATE qualifier because, in those cases, the client's connection to the database is terminated without waiting for the client to issue a request.
Action: Try again. If the message recurs and the program is user written, check the program.
Cause: A user bind or define, or an Oracle function, is not supported by this heterogeneous Net8 connection.
Action: Upgrade the older version of Oracle and try again.
Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Found both a datatype, and an anonymous datatype, declaration.
Action: Correct the specification.
Cause: An integer value in an internal Oracle structure overflowed when being sent or received over a heterogeneous connection. This can happen when an invalid buffer length or too great a row count is specified. It usually indicates a bug in the user application.
Action: Check parameters to Oracle calls. If the problem recurs, reduce all integer parameters, column values not included, to less than 32767.
Cause: This message occurs usually because the Net8 driver is not loaded into memory or there is a mismatch of the version of the driver. A user program linked with an obsolete library may also cause this message. Only programs provided by Oracle Corporation should use this interface.
Action: If the message occurred during use of a program provided by Oracle Corporation, contact Oracle Support Services. If a user program caused the message, relink the program with current versions of the Oracle libraries.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The attempted operation cannot complete now.
Action: Retry the operation later.
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The application received a bad escape sequence from the server and may indicate a problem with the client application user code.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A non-blocking operation was attempted and the network driver does not support non-blocking operations.
Action: Use default blocking operations or use a driver supporting non-blocking operations.
Cause: An attempt was made to execute a new operation before the active non-blocking operation completed or a new operation was attempted before all the pieces of a column were inserted or fetched.
Action: Execute the new operation after the non-blocking operation completes. If piecewise binds/defines were done, execute the new operation after all the pieces have been inserted or fetched.
Cause: The OCI test for non-blocking mode on a connection indicates that the connection is in blocking mode.
Action: If non-blocking mode is required use appropriate OCI calls to change the mode.
Cause: The application performed a piecewise bind on a column.
Action: Provide the next piece of this bind variable.
Cause: The application performed a piecewise define on the column.
Action: Provide the next buffer for the next piece to be retrieved.
Cause: The application either provided the length of the buffer for the next piece to be zero or provided a null pointer.
Action: Verify if the buffer pointer for the next piece is null or if the length is zero.
Cause: The default value specified for a record field was too large.
Action: Change the default value to fit the field size.
Cause: The segment type is not TABLE, INDEX, or CLUSTER.
Action: Use a correct segment type.
Cause: The freelist group number is either negative or larger than the number of freelist groups in the segment.
Action: Use a correct group number.
Cause: The scan limit does not have a positive integer value greater than the number of freelist groups in the segment.
Action: Use a correct scan limit.
Cause: High volume of user updates interfere with the space analysis.
Action: Retry the command or lock the underlying objects.
Cause: A partition name was specified for the space analysis, but the object type does not indicate partitioning.
Action: Specify PARTITION in the segment type if the object is partitioned, Otherwise, omit the partition name.
Cause: A partition name was not specified for the space analysis, but the object type indicates partitioning.
Action: Specify a partition name if the object is partitioned. Otherwise, specify a non-partitioned type.
Cause: The maximum file size for an autoextendable file has exceeded the maximum number of blocks allowed.
Action: Reduce the size and retry.
Cause: A partition type is specified for the space analysis, but the object type indicates composite partitioning.
Action: Specify a subpartition name and a subpartition type.
Cause: A subpartition type is specified for the space analysis, but the object type indicates non-composite partitioning.
Action: Specify a partition name and a partition type.
Cause: The value of file number or block number is outside of limits or inconsistent.
Action: Fix the file number/block number value.
Cause: The value of one of the option parameters is incorrect.
Action: Fix the option value.
Cause: The segment specified in the DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN or DBMS_SPACE operation does not exist or is not in a state appropriate for this operation.
Action: Fix the segment specification, or put the segment in the appropriate state.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a temporary segment for SORT/HASH/LOBS in a locally-managed permanent tablespace.
Action: Alter temporary tablespace of user to a temporary tablespace or a dictionary-managed permanent tablespace.
Cause: The LOB segment specified in the DBMS_SPACE operation does not exist.
Action: Fix the segment specification.
Cause: File size specified for add/resize datafile/temporary file does not allow for the minimum required of one allocation unit.
Action: Increase the specification for the file size.
Cause: File size specified for resize datafile/temporary file causes bitmap control structures to overlap.
Action: Increase the specification for the file size.
Cause: Corruption was detected during verification which cannot be dealt with
Action: Do manual verification.
Cause: Invalid option for alter of temporary tablespace was specified.
Action: Specify one of the valid options: ADD TEMPFILE, TEMPFILE ONLINE, TEMPFILE OFFLINE.
Cause: Invalid option for create/alter tablespace of type locally-managed.
Action: Specify one of the valid options.
Cause: An operation which is only applicable to permanent, online, locally managed tablespaces is specified for a tablespace that is either dictionary managed, offline, or temporary.
Action: Reissue the operation for a different tablespace, mount the tablespace, or do not issue it at all since it does not apply for the given tablespace.
Cause: Some of the procedures were called with missing or NULL parameters.
Action: Specify the missing parameter.
Cause: An attempt was made to do one of the following:
Action: There are three possible solutions:
Cause: Attempt to preserve too many blocks.
Action: Reduce the KEEP amount.
Cause: Attempt to deallocate space from the segment which was truncated prior to the 7.3 release.
Action: Increase the KEEP amount, or truncate the segment, and reissue the command.
Cause: Failed to allocate an extent for table subpartition segment in tablespace.
Action: Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE statement to add one or more files to the tablespace indicated.
Cause: Failed to allocate an extent for index subpartition segment in tablespace.
Action: Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE statement to add one or more files to the tablespace indicated.
Cause: A table subpartition tried to extend past MAXEXTENTS.
Action: If the value of MAXEXTENTS is less than the system maximum, raise it. Otherwise, you must re-create with larger initial, next or PCTINCREASE parameters.
Cause: An index subpartition tried to extend past MAXEXTENTS.
Action: If the value of MAXEXTENTS is less than the system maximum, raise it. Otherwise, you must re-create with larger initial, next or PCTINCREASE parameters.
Cause: Too large a size for an initial extent due to freelist group specification.
Action: Reduce number of freelist groups specified for the segment.
Cause: An attempt was made to allocate an extent for LOB subpartition segment in tablespace, but the extent could not be allocated because there is not enough space in the tablespace indicated.
Action: Use the ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE statement to add one or more files to the tablespace indicated.
Cause: A LOB subpartition segment tried to extend past MAXEXTENTS.
Action: If the value of MAXEXTENTS is less than the system maximum, raise it. Otherwise, re-create the subpartition with larger INITIAL, NEXT, or PCTINCREASE parameters.
Cause: Users default temporary tablespace must be different from the tablespace being migrated.
Action: alter users default temporary tablespace to be different.
Cause: User specified an invalid unit size for the tablespace.
Action: Specify the correct unit size. To estimate unit size, refer to the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide.
Cause: For migration to complete, temporary segments should not be present in the tablespace at the time of migration.
Action: Avoid migrating the tablespace when there is heavy temporary segment creation going on as with object drops.
Cause: Cannot overlap control information during relocation.
Action: Choose another destination address.
Cause: During migration of tablespace found no place to put the control information. If during bitmaps relocation, found no space at the specified destination.
Action: If during migration, add more space to the tablespace and retry migration. If during bitmaps relocation, specify a destination address where there is enough free space.
Cause: Tablespace was not dictionary managed, online, or permanent.
Action: Make sure the tablespace is online, permanent, or dictionary managed.
Cause: Control information cannot be placed at the specified DBA either because the block number specified is beyond the file end or the file is not large enough to accomodate the control information at that location.
Action: specify a correct block number.
Cause: Relocation of bitmaps to the said destination will make the tablespace self descriptive.
Action: Choose another destination DBA.
Cause: Temporary segments were attempted to be created during migration.
Action: The error is signalled after retrying migration for 500 times. Run migration when there is less segment creation activity going on.
Cause: For the given blocksize, the specified uniform size is insufficient.
Action: Specify a larger extent size and retry.
Cause: This segment cannot be marked corrupt because it contains data dictionary objects.
Action: Check the segment information and re-issue the command.
Cause: It is not permitted to migrate SYSTEM
tablespace from locally managed format to dictionary managed format or relocate bitmaps.
Action: Check the tablespace name and procedure name.
Cause: The DEALLOCATE option and the ALLOCATE option are specified in the same command.
Action: Choose one of the options or issue two separate commands.
Cause: The DEALLOCATE UNUSED option to ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX is specified more than once.
Action: Specify the option at most once.
Cause: The ALLOCATE EXTENT option to ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX is specified more than once.
Action: Specify the option at most once.
Cause: The specified value must be an integer.
Action: Choose an appropriate integer value.
Cause: An option (DATAFILE, SIZE or INSTANCE) was specified more than once.
Action: Specify each option at most once.
Cause: The specified value is not recognized as a valid instance name.
Action: Use a valid name.
Cause: A character string literal is expected, but not found.
Action: Specify file names using character string literals.
Cause: An option other than DATAFILE, SIZE or INSTANCE was specified.
Action: Remove invalid option and retry the command.
Cause: No ALLOCATE EXTENT options were specified.
Action: Specified one or more of the following options: DATAFILE, SIZE or INSTANCE.
Cause: The datafile does not exist.
Action: Retry the option with the correct datafile.
Cause: The specified datafile does not belong to the tablespace that the object resides in.
Action: Retry the option with the correct datafile.
Cause: The cluster cannot use the allocate extent option because it is a hash cluster.
Action: Do not use this command on a hash cluster.
Cause: The specified FREELIST GROUP number is invalid.
Action: Choose a number between 1 and the number of freelist groups for this object.
Cause: Both FREELIST GROUP and INSTANCE were specified in clause.
Action: Remove one of the two parameters.
Cause: Partition name and segment type specified for space analysis do not match.
Action: Specify type PARTITION if the object is partitioned, specify SUBPARTITION if the object is composite.
Cause: Invalid object specification given.
Action: Either specify TRUNCATE CLUSTER or TRUNCATE TABLE.
Cause: Expected STORAGE keyword.
Action: Either specify DROP STORAGE or REUSE STORAGE.
Cause: The table being truncated is a member of a cluster.
Action: Either use TRUNCATE CLUSTER or DROP TABLE.
Cause: Only INDEX CLUSTERS can be truncated.
Action: Drop and re-create the HASH CLUSTER instead of using truncate.
Cause: The specified datafile is not available for resizing.
Action: Ensure that the datafile name is valid, and if so, ensure the file is accessible.
Cause: Some portion of the file in the region to be trimmed is currently in use by a database object.
Action: Drop or move segments containing extents in this region prior to resizing the file, or choose a resize value such that only free space is in the trimmed.
Cause: Attempt to shrink a datafile while it is under hot backup. This is not allowed.
Action: Retry shrinking the file after the hot backup completes.
Cause: A dictionary table is created upon the first execution of the command ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE AUTOEXTEND ON for a database. This operation did not succeed. The most probable cause for this is insufficient space in the system tablespace.
Action: See action for next error message in error stack.
Cause: The sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a cluster or table exceeds 100.
Action: Create the table/cluster specifying values whose sum is less than or equal to 100.
Cause: string (a sequence parameter) specified was not an integer.
Action: Create the sequence, giving the specified parameter an integer value.
Cause: A sequence increment was specified to be zero.
Action: Specify the increment to be a non-zero value.
Cause: string (a sequencer parameter) had too many digits.
Action: Specify the parameter with the allowed number of digits.
Cause: MINVALUE was specified to be greater than or equal to MAXVALUE.
Action: Specify a MINVALUE that is less than MAXVALUE.
Cause: The INCREMENT specified is greater than or equal to MAXVALUE-MINVALUE.
Action: Specify an INCREMENT that is less than MAXVALUE-MINVALUE.
Cause: The given starting value is less than MINVALUE.
Action: Make sure that the starting value is greater than or equal to MINVALUE.
Cause: The given MINVALUE would be greater than the current value.
Action: Always make sure that MINVALUE is less than or equal to the current value.
Cause: The starting value would be larger than MAXVALUE.
Action: Make sure that the starting value is less than MAXVALUE.
Cause: The current value exceeds the given MAXVALUE.
Action: Make sure that the new MAXVALUE is larger than the current value.
Cause: The value in the CACHE clause was one.
Action: Specify NOCACHE, or a value larger than one.
Cause: The value specified for one of the sequence parameters exceeds limits.
Action: Specify a parameter within these limits.
Cause: The object specified cannot have sequence DDLs performed on it.
Action: Re-enter the statement being careful with the spelling of the name.
Cause: The number to CACHE specified in a CREATE SEQUENCE statement exceeds the number of values in a cycle.
Action: Enlarge the cycle or cache fewer values, and try again.
Cause: A value was not specified in the CREATE SEQUENCE statement. Sequences that cycle must specify a value at which to begin again.
Action: Re-create the sequence, specifying the value at which it is to begin.
Cause: A value was not specified in the CREATE SEQUENCE statement. Sequences that cycle must specify a value at which to begin again.
Action: Recreate the sequence, specifying the value at which it is to begin.
Cause: Sequence was dropped while processing its next value.
Action: Re-create the sequence.
Cause: Neither did the string supplied for MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE parameter match the "UNLIMITED" string value nor did it represent a base 10 integer.
Action: Reassign a proper value to this parameter.
Cause: The value specified for initialization parameter _SCN_SCHEME is not recognized as one of the defined schemes.
Action: Reassign a proper value.
Cause: Either different instances are running incompatible Oracle releases or different values have been assigned to the _SCN_SCHEME initialization parameter on different instances.
Action: Make sure the _SCN_SCHEME initialization parameter is set to the same value on all instances.
Cause: While trying to lock a library object, a deadlock is detected.
Action: Retry the operation later.
Cause: While waiting to lock a library object, a timeout is occurred.
Action: Retry the operation later.
Cause: Had to wait to lock a library object during a nowait request.
Action: Retry the operation later.
Cause: Cannot generate diana for an object because of lock conflict.
Action: Report this error to your support representative.
Cause: The table or view being queried might be missing. The error number indicates the error.
Action: Fix the error.
Cause: Operating system process private memory has been exhausted.
Action: See the database administrator or operating system administrator to increase process memory quota. There may be a bug in the application that causes excessive allocations of process memory space.
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.
Cause: An attempt was made to set WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY
to AUTO
while PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET
is not specified.
Action: Before setting WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY
, set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET
to a value representing the total private memory available to the instance. This total is generally the total physical memory available in the system minus what is needed for the SGA minus what is needed for the operating system (for example, such as 500 MB).
Cause: The system had insufficient memory to grow the pool to the specified size.
Action: Specify a smaller value to grow the pool.
Cause: Attempt to create a package body before creating its package specification.
Action: Create the package specification first before creating the package body.
Cause: Attempt to access a procedure, function, package, or package body that does not exist.
Action: Make sure the name is correct.
Cause: An object name was specified that was not recognized by the system. Following are possible causes:
Action: Check the spelling of the named object and rerun the code. (Valid names of tables, views, functions, etc. can be listed by querying the data dictionary.)
Cause: A procedure, function, or package was specified in an inappropriate place in a statement.
Action: Make sure the name is correct or remove it.
Cause: This message indicates the object to which the following errors apply. The errors occurred during implicit recompilation/revalidation of the object.
Action: Check the following errors for more information, and make the necessary corrections to the object.
Cause: Attempt to compile and store a large stored procedure that results in compilation data that is too large for the system to support or store.
Action: Reduce the size of the store procedure by splitting it into smaller stored procedures.
Cause: The object type implied by the flag does not match the type of object specified.
Action: Specify the correct object, or use the appropriate flag.
Cause: The required procedure, function, or package name is invalid or missing.
Action: Specify a valid name.
Cause: During forwarding of a remote object access, an attempt was made to use a non-existent database link or one owned by a user other than the logon user or PUBLIC.
Action: Change your database link structure so that all indirect remote accesses are done from the same userid that originates the request.
Cause: An error has occurred when trying to look up a remote object.
Action: Fix the error. Make sure the remote database system has run KGLR.SQL to create necessary views used for querying/looking up objects stored in the database.
Cause: An error has occurred when trying to validate a remote object.
Action: Fix the error. Make sure the remote database system has run KGLR.SQL to create necessary views used for querying/looking up objects stored in the database.
Cause: During compilation of a PL/SQL block, an attempt was made to use a non-existent database link.
Action: Either use a different database link or create the database link.
Cause: This compilation was aborted because the library unit that was compiled would have formed a non-REF mutually-dependent cycle with some other library units. This happens when an attempt is made to compile types that have attributes of other types that may participate in a cycle with this type. Example:
create type t1; create type t2 (a t1); create type t1 (a t2);
Action: Break the cycle (possibly by adding a REF or by using another type).
Cause: Attempt to execute a stored procedure without sufficient privileges.
Action: Get necessary privileges.
Cause: Attempt to resume the execution of a stored procedure using the existing state which has become invalid or inconsistent with the stored procedure because the procedure has been altered or dropped.
Action: Try again; this error should have caused the existing state of all packages to be re-initialized.
Cause: Attempt to execute a stored procedure to serve an RPC stub which specifies a timestamp or signature that is different from the current timestamp/signature of the procedure.
Action: Recompile the caller in order to pick up the new timestamp.
Cause: Attempt to execute a stored procedure or use a view that has errors. For stored procedures, the problem could be syntax errors or references to other, non-existent procedures. For views, the problem could be a reference in the view's defining query to a non-existent table. Can also be a table which has references to non-existent or inaccessible types.
Action: Fix the errors and/or create referenced objects as necessary.
Cause: Attempt to execute a stored procedure that has been invalidated.
Action: Recompile the stored procedure.
Cause: Attempt to execute a stored procedure that has been altered or dropped thus making it not callable from the calling procedure.
Action: Recompile its dependents.
Cause: Attempt to execute a non-procedure.
Action: Make sure that a correct name is given.
Cause: Attempt to execute a non-existent stored procedure.
Action: Make sure that a correct name is given.
Cause: An error occurred when attempting to execute a stored procedure.
Action: Refer to the accompanying messages and fix the error mentioned. Try the procedure again after proper reinitialization of any application's state.
Cause: An invalid trigger name was specified.
Action: Verify that trigger name is not a reserved keyword.
Cause: The trigger statement is missing the BEFORE/AFTER/INSTEAD OF clause.
Action: Specify either BEFORE, AFTER or INSTEAD OF.
Cause: An invalid trigger type was given.
Action: Specify either INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
Cause: A column list was specified for a non-update trigger type.
Action: Remove the column list.
Cause: An invalid name was given in the referencing clause.
Action: Verify the referencing name is not a reserved word.
Cause: An statement was given for the trigger action.
Action: Re-specify the trigger action.
Cause: An invalid NEW or OLD specification was given for a column.
Action: Re-specify the column using the correct NEW or OLD specification.
Cause: The when clause can only be specified for row level triggers.
Action: Remove the when clause or specify for each row.
Cause: The referencing clause specifies identical values for NEW and OLD.
Action: Re-specify either the OLD or NEW referencing value.
Cause: The create TRIGGER statement is invalid.
Action: Check the statement for correct syntax.
Cause: The TRIGGER name is invalid.
Action: Check the trigger name.
Cause: The TRIGGER name or type already exists.
Action: Use a different trigger name or drop the trigger which is of the same name.
Cause: The trigger is accessing "new" or "old" values in a table trigger.
Action: Remove any new or old references.
Cause: The variable referenced in the trigger body is invalid.
Action: See the Oracle9i SQL Reference for valid trigger variable types.
Cause: New trigger variables can only be changed in before row insert or update triggers.
Action: Change the trigger type or remove the variable reference.
Cause: Old values can only be read and not changed.
Action: Do not attempt to change an old variable.
Cause: The trigger description is limited to 2000 characters (for dictionary storage reasons). The description does not include the text of the "when" clause or the text of the PL/SQL code executed for the trigger.
Action: If the trigger description contains a large comment, move that comment into the PL/SQL code for the trigger.
Cause: ROWIDs can only be read and not changed.
Action: Do not attempt to change an ROWID value.
Cause: A runtime error occurred during execution of a trigger.
Action: Check the triggers which were involved in the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a trigger on an object owned by SYS.
Action: Do not create triggers on objects owned by SYS.
Cause: Trigger is of duplicate event and trigger time.
Action: Combine the triggering information into one trigger which is fired at the given time.
Cause: A trigger (or a user defined PL/SQL function that is referenced in this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
Action: Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.
Cause: A trigger attempted to commit or roll back.
Action: Rewrite the trigger so it does not commit or roll back.
Cause: A trigger attempted to reference a long column in the triggering table.
Action: Do not reference the long column.
Cause: A trigger attempted to modify a table that was constraining for some referential constraint of a parent SQL statement.
Action: Rewrite the trigger so that it does not modify that table.
Cause: Cannot replace a trigger which already exists on a different table than the one being replaced.
Action: Drop the trigger with the same name and re-create it.
Cause: A trigger's WHEN clause is limited to 2K for dictionary storage reasons. The trigger being created exceeded that size.
Action: Use a smaller WHEN clause. Note, the trigger body could be used to perform the same limiting action as the WHEN clause.
Cause: An attempt was made to concurrently perform two DDL operations on a trigger or trigger table.
Action: Investigate the new state of the trigger and retry the DDL operation, if still appropriate.
Cause: A trigger was attempted to be retrieved for execution and was found to be invalid. This also means that compilation/authorization failed for the trigger.
Action: Options are to resolve the compilation/authorization errors, disable the trigger, or drop the trigger.
Cause: A trigger was attempted to be retrieved for execution and was found to be valid, but not stored. This may mean the an upgrade was done improperly from a non-stored trigger release.
Action: Alter compile the trigger to create the trigger in stored form. Also, you may want to review that a proper upgrade was done.

Cause: Either Shared Sequence Number operating system component was not installed properly, or an MC hardware failure may have occurred or a previous instance was not shut down properly.
Action: Verify that there are no background or foreground Oracle processes from a previous instance on this node using the operating system command ps -ef | grep instance_name. Verify that there are no shared memory segments belonging to the user which owns the Oracle installation by issuing the ipcs -b operating system command. If there are shared memory segments or processes still on the system, use SVRMGRL to shut down the instance with the abort option. If the instance is not up, verify that the cluster software and/or the hardware is installed and working. Log in as superuser and issue the CNXSHOW command. Are all of the nodes in the cluster listed? Are they members of the cluster? Is the communications between nodes okay? If the answer to any of these questions is false, contact Digital's customer support organization.
Cause: A call to the SSN failed to set the sequence number to its initial value, possibly caused by an MC hardware problem.
Action: Verify that the MC hardware is functioning properly. If it is not, contact Digital's customer support organization. If it is, contact Oracle Support Services.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The NTT two-task driver could not read configuration information from /etc/oratab.
Action: Make sure /etc/oratab exists and is readable. This error may occur if the file is incorrectly formatted. It also may occur if the driver has run out of memory.
Cause: A fatal error occurred during the disconnect from the server. This was probably caused by inaccessible message queues.
Action: If there is no message queue, restart the SQL*Net IPA servers using IPACTL. Otherwise contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The memory pool is exhausted.
Action: Check the circumstances and try to allocate less memory in your program or adjust the parameters in your initialization parameter file and retry.
Cause: One of the following:
Action: Check sequentially for the above causes and eliminate the actual cause found.
Cause: The SQL*Net IPA driver could not write the message into the message queue.
Action: Make sure that the message queue exists and is accessible. If necessary rerun IPACTL.
Cause: The SQL*Net IPA driver could not read a message from the message queue.
Action: Make sure that the message queue exists and is accessible. If necessary rerun IPACTL.
Cause: The communication between user and Oracle is out of synchronization. This message should not normally be issued.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The IPA driver tried to write a message in the queue that was too big for the queue.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A fatal error occurred during the resetting of the connection.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: You have exhausted all your connections.
Action: Try again when some of the current users have logged off.
Cause: The SQL*Net IPA servers have not been started.
Action: Run IPACTL.
Cause: Environment variable(s) not set correctly.
Action: Check and correct.
Cause: Maximum number of servers reached.
Action: Shut down and restart with an increased maximum number of servers. Note that database links consume one server per link. Be sure to start enough servers to support database links.

Cause: Oracle tries to use the SYSVENDOR interface (INIT.ORA parameter USE_SYSVENDOR=TRUE) but the UNIX kernel does not have the Oracle SYSVENDOR interface linked in.
Action: Set USE_SYSVENDOR=FALSE in INIT.ORA, if you do not want to use this interface or link the UNIX kernel with this interface so that Oracle can use it.
Cause: This is a rare internal error message. Memory has been exhausted or corrupted.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: This is an internal error message. An error has been detected in a PL/SQL program.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).
Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints.
Cause: A call to PL/SQL function completed, but no RETURN
statement was executed.
Action: Rewrite PL/SQL function, making sure that it always returns a value of a proper type.
Cause: Number and/or types of columns in a query does not match declared return type of a result set variable, or declared types of two Result Set variables do not match.
Action: Change the program statement or declaration. Verify what query the variable actually refers to during execution.
Cause: A PL/SQL variable was declared with a constraint which required more than 32767 bytes of memory. PL/SQL does not currently support allocations of contiguous memory greater than 32767 bytes.
Action: Consider reducing the constraint in the variable declaration. If that is not possible, try changing the database or national character set to such, that requires less memory for the same constraint. Note: changing the character set will impact execution of all PL/SQL code.
Cause: An attempt was made to call a stored program that could not be found. The program may have been dropped or incompatibly modified, or have compiled with errors.
Action: Check that all referenced programs, including their package bodies, exist and are compatible.
Cause: This indicates a version clash between some package distributed with an Oracle product and the product executable.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A user-defined exception was raised by PL/SQL code, but not handled.
Action: Fix the problem causing the exception or write an exception handler for this condition. Or you may need to contact your application administrator or database administrator.
Cause: An attempt was made to open a cursor that was already open.
Action: Close cursor first before reopening.
Cause: Backtrace message as the stack is unwound by unhandled exceptions.
Action: Fix the problem causing the exception or write an exception handler for this condition. Or you may need to contact your application administrator or database administrator.
Cause: An attempt is being made to copy a PL/SQL table to a host language array. But an index in the table is either less than one or greater than the maximum size of the host language array. When copying PL/SQL tables to host language arrays, the table entry at index 1 is placed in the first element of the array, the entry at index 2 is placed in the second element of the array, etc. If an table entry has not been assigned then the corresponding element in the host language array is set to null.
Action: Increase size of host language array, or decrease size of PL/SQL table. Also make sure that you do not use index values less than 1.
Cause: The remote call has parameters that are cursor variables or lob variables. This cannot be handled by stored procedures on your server.
Action: Avoid using cursor variables or lob variables as parameters for stored procedures on this server or upgrade your server to a release that supports this.
Cause: An exception was raised by PL/SQL code, but not handled. The exception number is outside the legal range of Oracle errors.
Action: Fix the problem causing the exception or write an exception handler for this condition. Or you may need to contact your application administrator or database administrator.
Cause: A Probe operation, probably an attempt to initialize the Oracle server to debug PL/SQL, could not be completed because the Probe packages were not loaded or have become invalid.
Action: DBA should load the Probe packages. This can be done by running the PBLOAD.SQL script supplied with the RDBMS.
Cause: An error occurred while passing a Probe operation to the server for execution.
Action: Refer to the entry for the embedded error message.
Cause: The current version of Probe is incompatible with the version on the Oracle server.
Action: Refer to the documentation to ensure that this degree of compatibility is supported.
Cause: Before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, all autonomous transactions started within the block must be completed (either committed or rolled back). If not, the active autonomous transaction is implicitly rolled back and this error is raised.
Action: Ensure that before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, any active autonomous transactions are explicitly committed or rolled back.
Cause: An error was detected by PL/SQL trying to load the external library dynamically.
Action: Check the stacked error (if any) for more details.
Cause: An error was detected by PL/SQL trying to map the mentioned function dynamically.
Action: Check the stacked error (if any) for more details.
Cause: ORA-06520 or ORA-06521could stack this error with a system-specific error string.
Action: This error string should give the cause for errors ORA-06520 or ORA-06521
Cause: There is an upper limit on the number of arguments that one can pass to the external function.
Action: Check the port-specific documentation on how to calculate the upper limit.
Cause: The option specified is an unsupported feature for external procedures.
Action: Correct the syntax in the external specification.
Cause: The length specified in the length variable has an illegal value. This can happen if you have requested a PL/SQL INOUT, OUT or RETURN raw variable to be passed as a RAW with no corresponding length variable. This error can also happen if there is a mismatch in the length value set in the length variable and the length in the ORLVSTR or ORLRAW.
Action: Correct the external procedure code and set the length variable correctly.
Cause: PL/SQL was unable to instantiate the library referenced by this referenced in the EXTERNAL syntax. This is a serious error and should normally not happen.
Action: Report this problem to Oracle Support Services.
Cause: An error occurred in SQLLIB during execution of a Pro* external procedure.
Action: The message text indicates the actual SQLLIB error that occurred.
Cause: An error occurred during execution of a PL/SQL profiler procedure.
Action: Check the stacked errors for more details.
Cause: The PL/SQL profiler package (DBMSPB.SQL, PRVTPBP.PLB) does not match the version of the code in the server implementing the profiler.
Action: Run the package PROFLOAD.SQL in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin to load the correct version of the PL/SQL profiler packages.
Cause: An object, LOB, or other composite was referenced as a left hand side without having been initialized.
Action: Initialize the composite with an appropriate constructor or whole-object assignment.
Cause: An element or member function of a nested table or VARRAY was referenced (where an initialized collection is needed) without the collection having been initialized.
Action: Initialize the collection with an appropriate constructor or whole-object assignment.
Cause: A subscript was greater than the limit of a VARRAY or non-positive for a VARRAY or nested table.
Action: Check the program logic and increase the VARRAY limit if necessary.
Cause: An in-limit subscript was greater than the count of a VARRAY or too large for a nested table.
Action: Check the program logic and explicitly extend if necessary.
Cause: The program attempted to access a Serially Reusable package in the context of a trigger. Such an access is currently unsupported.
Action: Check the program logic and remove any references to Serially Reusable packages (procedure, function or variable references) which might happen in the context of a trigger.
Cause: The program attempted to use a dynamic statement string that was either NULL or 0 length.
Action: Check the program logic and ensure that the dynamic statement string is properly initialized.
Cause: The program attempted to bind an IN bind variable to a statement that was expecting an OUT bind variable at that position.
Action: Make sure that an OUT or IN OUT bind mode is specified for the bind argument.
Cause: The program attempted to bind an OUT bind variable to a statement that was expecting an IN bind variable at that position.
Action: Make sure that an IN or IN OUT bind mode is specified for the bind argument.
Cause: The program attempted to execute a dynamic statement which does not meet the purity level specified (in the pragma RESTRICT_REFERENCES directive) for the module executing the statement.
Action: Ensure that the dynamic statement meets the purity level specified for the module executing the statement.
Cause: The program attempted to perform an OPEN cursor operation on a dynamic statement that was not a query.
Action: Ensure that the OPEN cursor operation is done on a dynamic query statement.
Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error occurred. However, the user generally will not see this error message. Instead, there will be accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Action: See accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error occurred and the compilation was aborted; but the compilation unit was written out to the backing store. However, unlike ORA-06545, the user generally will not see this error message. Instead, there will be accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Action: See accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Cause: A PL/SQL internal error occurred.
Action: Report as a bug; the first argument is the internal error number.
Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error occurred and the compilation was aborted completely without the compilation unit being written out to the backing store. Unlike ORA-06541, the user will always see this error along with the accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Action: See accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.
Cause: DDL statement is executed dynamically in illegal PL/SQL context.
Action: Use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
without USING
and INTO
clauses to execute the DDL statement.
Cause: EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with a RETURNING
clause is used to execute dynamic UPDATE
, INSERT
, or DELETE
statements only.
Action: Use the RETURNING
clause in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
for INSERT
, UPDATE
, or DELETE
statements only. For other statements, use the USING
clause instead.
Cause: The caller of a pipelined function does not need more rows to be produced by the pipelined function.
Action: Catch the NO_DATA_NEEDED exception is an exception handling block.
Cause: One possible cause might be that there are too many DLLs open at the same time.
Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error has occurred. The numbers given for line and column are the location in the PL/SQL block where the error occurred.
Action: Refer to the following PL/SQL messages for more information about the error.
Cause: The DBMS-specific extensions to PL/SQL's package STANDARD are in package DBMS_STANDARD. This package must be created before using PL/SQL.
Action: Create package DBMS_STANDARD. The source for this PL/SQL stored package is provided with the distribution.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a package named STANDARD, DBMS_STANDARD or DEBUG_IO. These are currently reserved for use by user SYS.
Action: Choose another name for your package.
Cause: There are no more items in the pipe.
Action: Check that the sender and receiver agree on the number and types of items placed on the pipe.
Cause: Internal error from the DBMS_PIPE package.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The pipe buffer size has been exceeded.
Action: Inspect the program to analyze the rate of input and output to the pipe. You might need to take items out of the pipe by executing RECEIVE_MESSAGE, or empty the entire pipe by executing PURGE on the pipe.
Cause: The sender put different datatype on the pipe than that being requested (package DBMS_PIPE). The numbers are:
Action: Check that the sender and receiver agree on the number and types of items placed on the pipe.
Cause: Internal error from the DBMS_PIPE package.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: An attempt was made to parse an unsupported statement using procedure PARSE
provided by package DBMS_SQL
.
Action: Only statements which begin with SELECT
, DELETE
, INSERT
, UPDATE
, LOCK
, BEGIN
, DECLARE
, or <<
(PL/SQL label delimiter) are supported.
Cause: An attempt was made to get the value of a column or a bind variable by calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE of package DBMS_SQL but the type of the given out argument where to place the value is different from the type of the column or bind variable that was previously defined by calling procedure DEFINE_COLUMN (for defining a column) or BIND_VARIABLE (for binding a bind variable) of package DBMS_SQL.
Action: Pass in an out argument of the correct type when calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE. The right type is the type that was provided when defining the column or binding the bind variable.
Cause: The name to be resolved was specified with three parts (a.b.c) but the a.b part resolves to a top level procedure or function (which do not have nested procedures). This can also happen with a two-part name, a.b, where a is a synonym for a top level package or procedure.
Action: Specify a procedure/function within a package, or a top level procedure/function.
Cause: The named object could not be found. Either it does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
Action: Create the object or get permission to access it.
Cause: The named procedure cannot be executed from within a stored procedure, function or package. This function can only be used from PL/SQL anonymous blocks.
Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.
Cause: An invalid number of rows was specified in a call to the procedure DEFINE_COLUMN
in the package DBMS_SQL
. For a given parsed statement in a given cursor, all columns must be defined to have the same number of rows, so all the calls to DEFINE_COLUMN
must specify the same number of rows.
Action: Specify a number that matches that for previously defined columns.
Cause: An invalid number of values to be bound was specified in a call to the procedure BIND_VARIABLE
in the package DBMS_SQL
. In order to execute a given parsed statement in a given cursor, the same number of values must have been bound for all bind variables, so when EXECUTE is called, the latest calls to BIND_VARIABLE must have specified the same number of values to be bound for all bind variables.
Action: Make sure that the same number of values have been bound for all of the bind variables.
Cause: An obsolete ICD procedure was called by a PL/SQL program. The PL/SQL program was probably written for an earlier release of RDBMS.
Action: Make sure that all PL/SQL programs have been upgraded to the latest release of the RDBMS. This can be accomplished by following upgrade instructions in the README file, or by running the CATPROC.SQL script supplied with the RDBMS.
Cause: A collection with zero elements was bound to a bind variable in a call to procedure BIND_ARRAY
in the package DBMS_SQL
. In order to execute a bind of a collection, the collection must contain at least one element. If no elements are present, at execute time, there will be no value for this bind and the statement is meaningless.
Action: Fill the collection with the elements you want to bind and try the bind call again.
Cause: The specified shared pool shared cursor could not be found, therefore it cannot be pinned.
Action: Make sure that a correct shared cursor name is given. Names are a string of the form 'HHHHHHHH,SDDDDDDDDDD' where the H's are an 8 digit hex number from the 'address' column of V$SQLAREA, and the D's are a 1 to 10 digit decimal number with an optional leading sign (from the HASH_VALUE column) Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.
Cause: One of the following:
Action: If the referenced function is a packaged, PL/SQL function, re-create the PL/SQL function with the required pragma; be certain to include the 'Write No Database State' (WNDS) argument in the argument list of the pragma. If the referenced function is standalone, PL/SQL function, do not use the function.
Cause: A SQL statement references either a packaged or standalone PL/SQL function that contains an OUT parameter in its argument list. PL/SQL functions referenced by SQL statements must not contain the OUT parameter.
Action: Re-create the PL/SQL function without the OUT parameter in the argument list.
Cause: One of the following:
Action: If the function is a packaged, PL/SQL function: Re-create the function and include a pragma containing the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS). If the function is standalone PL/SQL function, delete the function from the SQL statement.
Cause: One of the following:
SELECT
list, VALUES
clause of an INSERT
statement, or SET
clause of an UPDATE
statement can modify a package state. Action: If the function is a packaged function: Re-create the function and include a pragma containing the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS) and 'Read no Package State' (RNPS) arguments. If the function is a standalone function: Do not call the function.
Cause: A SQL statement references a PL/SQL function that is in an invalid state. Oracle attempted to compile the function, but detected errors.
Action: Check the SQL statement and the PL/SQL function for syntax errors or incorrectly assigned, or missing, privileges for a referenced object.
Cause: Could not find a function (if an INTO
clause was present) or a procedure (if the statement did not have an INTO
clause) to call.
Action: Change the statement to invoke a function or procedure.
Cause: The argument corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement must be a bind variable.
Action: Change the argument to a bind variable.
Cause: The bind variable corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement cannot be a duplicate bind variable.
Action: Change the bind variable to be unique.
Cause: Hash Join reserves 3 slots (each slot size = DB_BLOCK_SIZE * HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT) for a row. If a row is larger than that, this error will be raised.
Action: Increase HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT so that each joined row fits in a slot. HASH_AREA_SIZE may also need to be increased.
Cause: A CASE
statement must either list all possible cases or have an else
clause.
Action: Add all missing cases or an ELSE
clause.
Cause: The specified feature is not yet supported for natively compiled PL/SQL modules.
Action: Recompile the relevant PL/SQL modules in non-native mode by setting the PLSQL_COMPILER_FLAGS
parameter to INTERPRETED
.
Cause: The SNA software is not running.
Action: Start the SNA software and try again.
Cause: The database string in the connect was invalid.

Cause: Operating system refused request for memory.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Allocate system call failed.
Action: Ensure that the SNA software is running and that sessions are free. If this is the case, then check your SNA configuration data for errors. You may have entered an incorrect parameter.
Cause: SNA software switched from send to receive unexpectedly.
Action: Check the SNA configuration data, particularly parameters associated with a session.
Cause: A parameter in an SNA call returned an unexpected value.
Action: Attempt to reproduce problem, debug and record the value of the 'what' data parameter at the time of error. Then contact your service representative.
Cause: A reset was issued while in send state.
Action: Check the SNA LOG data, if relevant, for further information.
Cause: A reset was received from the partner while in receive state. This may be because the partner deallocated.
Action: Check the SNA LOG data, if relevant, for further information.
Cause: LU6.2 driver was unable to deallocate gracefully.
Action: Check the reason for deallocation. Consult the SNA LOG data.
Cause: The SQL*Net LU6.2 driver was unable to attach to the LU specified in the connect string, or was unable to attach to the default LU.
Action: Check that the LU name specified in the connect string, or the default LU name if no LU was specified, is correctly configured and operational.
Cause: The SQL*Net LU6.2 driver could not attach to the SNA software on your machine. The most likely cause is that the SNA software is not operational.
Action: Check the status of the SNA software, ensure that it is operational and then try again.
Cause: TLI received a message with an unrecognizable message type.

Cause: The buffer size specified in the login string must be between 5 and 4096.
Action: Re-submit with valid buffer size.
Cause: From the remote host's SQL*Net X.25 server: the database SID, specified in the login (connect) string, was not recognized.
Action: Add the appropriate SID entry to the CONFIG.ORA file on the remote host (and restart the SQL*Net X.25 server).
Cause: Connection attempt to remote host has failed. Probably means that the SQL*Net X.25 server on the remote host is not up, or the host itself is not up.
Action: Start the SQL*Net X.25 server process on the remote host.
Cause: Process open file quota probably exceeded.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

Cause: The SLTLN name translation routine was called with invalid arguments. The input, or output stings were either NULL or 0 length.
Action: Probable internal Oracle error. Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A string was passed to SLTLN containing a long environment variable. SLTLN accepts environment names of 30 or less characters.
Action: Shorten environment variable name to less than 30 characters.
Cause: The SLTLN routine is given a maximum length buffer to expand the name into. An overflow of this buffer occurred.
Action: Possible internal error. Check output buffer length stored in sercose[0]. Path names are limited to 255 characters.
Cause: Time() system call returned an error. Possible operating system error.
Action: Check additional information returned. Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: GETTIMEOFDAY() system call returned an error. Possible operating system error.
Action: Check additional information returned. Contact Oracle Support Services.

Cause: The picture mask passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained more than one decimal point indicator ('V'). Only one decimal point indicator is allowed in the picture mask.
Action: Correct the picture mask parameter.
Cause: The picture mask passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained more than one operational sign indicator ('S'). Only one operational sign indicator is allowed in the picture mask.
Action: Correct the picture mask parameter.
Cause: A syntax error was found in the CURRENCY SIGN environment clause parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. Valid specifications are: CURRENCY SIGN IS x where x is a valid currency sign.
Action: Correct the environment clause parameter.
Cause: The picture mask parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained no sign symbol ('S', '+', or '-'), but the mask options parameter contained a SIGN clause. A sign symbol is required in the picture mask parameter when the mask options parameter contains a SIGN clause.
Action: Correct the picture mask parameter or the mask options parameter.
Cause: A syntax error was found in the SEPARATE CHARACTER option of the SIGN clause in the mask options parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. Valid specifications are: SEPARATE, SEPARATE CHARACTER.
Action: Correct the mask options parameter.
Cause: The format parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine was invalid. The format parameter should have been built by a prior call to either MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT.
Action: Check to be sure that the format parameter was built by MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT, and that it was not accidentally overwritten or modified by the PL/SQL procedure.
Cause: The format parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine was not the correct length. Format parameters must be 2048 bytes in length.
Action: Check to be sure that the format parameter was built by MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT, and that it was not accidentally overwritten or modified by the PL/SQL procedure.
Cause: The environment parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained an unsupported or invalid environment clause. Only the CURRENCY SIGN and the DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA environment clauses are supported.
Action: Correct the environment parameter.
Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine contains invalid decimal data.
Action: Correct the input data.
Cause: The output variable passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER was not large enough to hold the Oracle number resulting from the input decimal number.
Action: Be sure that the input decimal number is valid, and be sure that the output variable is large enough to hold the Oracle number value.
Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine contained more than 42 digits. This exceeds the maximum size of an Oracle number.
Action: Correct the raw input buffer.
Cause: The input mask passed to UTL_PG numeric conversion routine contained more the 32 characters.
Action: Correct the mask input buffer.
Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine was less than string bytes long, but the picture mask parameter specified that string bytes of input data were to be converted.
Action: Either the input data is incorrect, or the picture mask is incorrect. Correct the appropriate item.
Cause: An error occurred when converting an Oracle number to a COBOL type of: DISPLAY COMP-3 or character variable. The Oracle number was not in the correct format.
Action: Correct the call to the conversion routine. The input must be a valid Oracle number variable.
Cause: The mask option clause was passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine, but is not supported by UTL_PG. The clause can be:
Action: Remove the clause from the mask options parameter in the PL/SQL call to UTL_PG.
Cause: Picture mask USAGE option was overridden by the picture mask.
Action: This is an informational message only. The message may be eliminated by changing the USAGE option to match the picture mask.
Cause: Picture mask options such as OCCUR, SYNC and others are not processed by the UTL_PG numeric conversion routines.
Action: This is an informational message only. The message may be eliminated by removing the unnecessary picture mask options from the parameter list passed to the UTL_PG routine.

Action: Examine the directory pointed to by the initialization parameter USER_DUMP_DEST. Make sure that all of the following is true:
Cause: Oracle was unable to spawn a background process because the directory that holds the core dumps produced by Oracle processes in the event of exceptions was not created properly.
Action: Examine the directory pointed to by the initialization parameter CORE_DUMP_DEST. Make sure that all of the following is true:
Cause: Oracle was not able to create the file being used to hold audit trail records.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for a possible operating system error. If there is no error, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: A dedicated server was unable to set it's own privilege set.
Action: Check the privileges granted to the Oracle executable. It must have at least ALLOWMACACESS privilege.
Cause: Oracle was not able to set the label of a server to a new value.
Action: Check the privileges on $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle. Make sure that it has ALLOWMACACCESS privilege.
Cause: Oracle was unable to restore the label of the server to the value that it had before raising it to database high. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The result of a greatest lower bound operation on two labels was not valid.
Action: Repeat the operation with two different labels. Consult the system encoding file for the values of valid labels.
Cause: The result of a least upper bound operation on two labels was not valid.
Action: Repeat the operation with two different labels. Consult the system encoding file for the values of valid labels.
Cause: An attempt to open a password file for reading failed.
Action: Make sure that the permissions on the file have not been changed so that the Oracle user cannot open it.
Cause: An attempt to close a password file failed.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for the specific reason.
Cause: The removal of the old password file failed.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for the specific reason.
Cause: Oracle was unable to create a link so that the old password file could be saved.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for the specific reason.
Cause: Oracle was unable to complete the saving of the current password file.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for the specific reason.

Action: Check the UNIX error number for the specific reason.
Cause: Oracle was unable to save the previous values of selected signal handlers. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Oracle was unable to restore the previous values of selected signal handlers. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The header of one of the password files was not in the format that Oracle expected.
Action: Check the headers of both files. The header should be in the format "FILE VERSION: N.N.N.N.N EXECUTABLE VERSION: N.N.N.N.N" where N is a number. Remove the corrupt file(s) and re-run ORAPASSWD.
Cause: The version of ORAPASSWD or installer that is being run is older than that of the Oracle password file. Since the file version is only changed when the format is changed, this error means that the executable is using a different format than that with which the file was created.
Action: Run a version of the installer or ORAPASSWD whose version is the same or later than that of the file.
Cause: The attempt to write out the header of the Oracle password file failed.
Action: Check the operating system error number. It is possible that the file system became full.
Cause: When it is building a list of password file entries, Oracle allocates memory for various components. One of the allocations failed.
Action: Check the operating system error number. The system has probably run out of memory.
Cause: An entry in an Oracle password file was not in the format that Oracle expected.
Action: Removed the corrupt file(s) and re-run ORAPASSWD.
Cause: Oracle was unable to write header information to the file being used as the audit trail.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for a possible operating system error. If there is no error, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The buffer that was to be used to hold a file name was determined to be too short for the generated name. This will happen if the translated name for either a trace file or an audit file is longer than the maximum allowed, which on many ports is 256 characters.
Action: Use a shorter file name.
Cause: Oracle was not able to allocate the memory needed to hold the attributes of the SQL*Net connection. The "Additional Information" field holds the number of bytes that Oracle attempted to allocate.
Action: Check the UNIX error number. It is probable that the system has run out of memory. If there is no error, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Oracle was unable to get the information label for a process.
Action: Check the UNIX error number for a possible operating system failure. If there is no error, contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Oracle was unable to get the operating system privileges for the client process.

Cause: The attempt to send a termination signal to IMON failed. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The IMON process was unable to add an entry for a server process because another active process occupies the slot. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: The IMON process was unable to delete a server process from its process ID array because no entry for the process could be found. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Oracle was unable to set up a handler for the signal used to notify it that the instance was shutting down. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Oracle failed to set the handler for the termination signal to its previous value. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Failure of SLTLN in SCUMNT.

Cause: The process was unable to add a page to the SDI buffer pool.
Action: Correct the operating system error and retry the operation.
Cause: The process was unable to remove a page to the SDI buffer pool.
Action: Correct the operating system error and retry the operation.
Cause: The process was unable to shut down the SDI channel.
Action: Check the SDI persistent resources using SDI tools. Verify that all processes exited cleanly and the instance is safely shut down. Delete any remaining SDI channel IDs associated with the current instance.
Cause: File does not exist or is not accessible.
Action: Restart the instance to create the SGA definition file.
Cause: UNIX read() operation failed.
Action: Check errno and take appropriate action.
Cause: Struct SKGMSDEF size differs from the number of bytes read from the SGA file.
Action: Compare the two struct definitions and ensure that they are identical in size and structure.
Cause: The instance is not up, or SGA segments are not read-accessible.
Action: Verify that the instance is up and read permissions for the SGA segments are set.
Cause: SKGMSDEF struct is corrupted and/or segment addresses are modified.
Action: Safely shut down the instance and mount the SGA segments again.

Action: Assign a valid address to the SKGMSDEF struct pointer before using it.
Cause: Report block type for details of another error.
Action: See associated error message.
Cause: Report block type and data object number for details of another error.
Action: See associated error message.
Cause: See other errors on error stack.
Action: Investigate why the error occurred and how important is the data block. Media and standby database recovery usually can continue if user allows recovery to corrupt this data block.
Cause: Test recovery completed.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. See other messages on error stack for a summary of the result of the test recovery.
Cause: Report tablespace name for details of another error.
Action: See associated error message.
Cause: There can only be one test recovery session at any time. Another test recovery session is active.
Action: Wait until the other test recovery session completes.
Cause: Test recovery tests redo in memory. It can no longer proceed because it has consumed all the memory it can use.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. See other messages on error stack for a summary result of the test recovery.
Cause: There are two possible causes of this error:
Action: Investigate why the error occurred and how important is the data block. Media and standby database recovery usually can continue if user allows recovery to corrupt this data block.
Cause: Out of SGA memory.
Action: Restart the instance. If the problem persists, then contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Test recovery completed.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. See other messages on error stack for a summary result of the test recovery.
Cause: User canceled test recovery.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. See other messages on error stack for a summary of the result of the test recovery.
Cause: See other errors on the error stack.
Action: See other messages on the error stack. It is possible that no action is needed. See other messages on error stack for a summary of the result of the test recovery so far.
Cause: This message shows the range of test recovery that has been tested.
Action: No action is needed. See other messages on the error stack.
Cause: This message summarizes test recovery result.
Action: No action is needed. See other messages on the error stack.
Cause: There was not enough memory to restore recovered datafiles to consistent state.
Action: This error is just a warning: You may not be able to open the database with resetlogs immediately after this error. However, you may continue media/standby recovery, and that may make the datafiles recovered consistent again.
Cause: See alert file or other errors on the stack for a cause of the problem.
Action: This error is just a warning: You may not be able to open the database with resetlogs immediately after this error. However, you may continue media/standby recovery, and that may make the datafiles recovered consistent again.
Cause: Test recovery option is used for managed standby database recovery.
Action: Either remove the test recovery option or invoke manual test standby database recovery.
Cause: You used the allow corruption option for managed standby database recovery.
Action: Either remove the allow corruption option or invoke manual standby database recovery.
Cause: To proceed with recovery, test recovery needs to modify the control file. But test recovery is not allowed to modify the controlfile.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. It can only go so far in the redo stream.
Cause: To proceed with recovery, test recovery needs to modify a datafile header. But test recovery is not allowed to modify datafile headers.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. It can only go so far in the redo stream.
Cause: To proceed with recovery, test recovery needs to modify a redo log header. But test recovery is not allowed to modify redo log headers.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has ended successfully. It can only go so far in the redo stream.
Cause: User requested backup control file test recovery, but the control file is not a backup control file.
Action: Use a backup control file, or do not use the USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE option.
Cause: One of the files to be recovered is renamed as missing.
Action: Rename the file to the correct file or offline it.
Cause: Both test recovery and parallel recovery are requested.
Action: Drop either one of the two recovery options.
Cause: Test recovery has encountered a special redo that may modify control file.
Action: No action is needed. Test recovery has proceeded successfully as far as it could from its starting point.
Cause: This message summarizes test recovery result: Oracle may have to corrupt one block in order to apply the range of redo tested.
Action: See the alert log for details of the problem.
Cause: The number specified in the ALLOW n CORRUPTION option is too big.
Action: Use a smaller number.
Cause: The number specified in the ALLOW n CORRUPTION option is too big.
Action: Change to allow zero or one corruption.
Cause: This message summarizes test recovery result: Oracle may have to corrupt a number of data blocks as specified in the message in order to apply the range of redo tested.
Action: See the alert log for details of the problems.
Cause: This procedure can be used only on segments in tablespaces with AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT.
Action: Recheck the segment name and type and re-issue the statement.
Cause: Tablespace with AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT specified cannot be used as a temporary tablespace.
Action: Recheck the tablespace name and re-issue the statement.
Cause: Cannot perform the operation on tablespace with AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT.
Action: Recheck the tablespace name and re-issue the statement.
Cause: Rollback segments cannot be created in dictionary managed tablespaces when the SYSTEM
tablespace is locally managed.
Action: Recheck the tablespace name and re-issue the statement.
Cause: This DBMS_SPACE operation is not permitted on segments in tablespaces with AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT.
Action: Recheck the segment name and type and re-issue the statement.
Cause: Cannot alter freelist storage parameter for segments in tablespaces with AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT.
Action: Recheck the segment name and re-issue the statement.
Cause: The specified file number and block number of the data block does not belong to the segment.
Action: Recheck the segment, file number, block number and re-issue the statement.
Cause: The SYSTEM
tablespace is being migrated to locally managed format.
Action: Re-issue this command once SYSTEM
tablespace migration is complete.
Cause: SYSTEM
tablespace migration requires rollback segment in locally managed tablespace.
Action: Drop rollback segments in dictionary managed tablespaces other than SYSTEM
and create rollback segments in locally managed tablespace. Then retry migration.
Cause: When SYSTEM
tablespace is migrated, found rollback segments in dictionary managed tablespaces.
Action: Drop the rollback segments in dictionary managed tablespaces and re-issue the command.
Cause: When SYSTEM
tablespace is being migrated, database should be mounted in Exclusive mode and in Restricted mode.
Action: Re-issue this command after mounting the database in the correct mode.
Cause: When SYSTEM
tablespace is being migrated, no user should have SYSTEM
as the default temporary tablespace.
Action: Re-issue this command after altering the default temporary tablespace setting for all users.
Cause: When SYSTEM
tablespace is being migrated, dictionary tables tried to extend recursively more than 1000 times.
Action: If SYSTEM
tablespace is very large, then simply reissue the tablespace migration command.
Cause: When SYSTEM tablespace is being migrated, tablespaces other than the three should be ALTERed to read only.
Action: Alter the tablespace status to read only and retry migration.
Cause: The specified dba is not valid.
Action: Check if the specified dba belongs to the segment and is under the segment HWM and re-issue the statement.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a materialized view log on a table that already has a materialized view log. Each master table can have only one materialized view log.
Action: All materialized views on a table can use the same materialized view log for that table. To make changes to the existing log, use the ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command or drop the materialized view log and create it again.
Cause: Materialized view logs are filled by a trigger on the master table. That trigger cannot be created.
Action: To create a materialized view log, drop the current trigger on the master.
Cause: There was no materialized view log on the master table.
Action: Create a materialized view log on the master table.
Cause: The materialized view with the given owner and name does not exist.
Action: Verify inputs and create a materialized view.
Cause: The materialized view log does not exist or cannot be used.
Action: Use just REFRESH, which will reinstantiate the entire table. If a materialized view log exists and the form of the materialized view allows the use of a materialized view log, REFRESH FAST will be available starting the next time the materialized view is refreshed.
Cause: An attempt was made to schedule an automated materialized view refresh for a time in the past.
Action: Choose a time in the future instead.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a materialized view with the name of an existing materialized view.
Action: Create the materialized view using a different name or drop the existing materialized view.
Cause: The CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW .. or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG .. REUSE command was given inconsistent parameters immediately after the REUSE.
Action: Examine the other messages on the stack to find the problem.
Cause: Table SNAP$_mview_name reads rows from the view MVIEW$_mview_name, which is a view on the master table (the master may be at a remote site). Any error in this path will cause this error at refresh time. For fast refreshes, the table master_owner.MLOG$_master is also referenced.
Action: Examine the other messages on the stack to find the problem. See if the objects SNAP$_mview_name, MVIEW$_mview_name, mowner.master@dblink, mowner.MLOG$_master@dblink still exist.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a materialized view with a long column.
Action: Do not attempt to create materialized view logs with long columns.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a materialized view log on the table owned by SYS. CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG attempts to create a trigger on the table, but triggers can not be created on SYS tables.
Action: Do not create a materialized view log on SYS tables.
Cause: An error was caught in dbms_ijob.run from one or more jobs which were due to be run.
Action: Look at the alert log for details on which jobs failed and why.
Cause: Some kind of error was caught while doing an automatic execute of a job.
Action: Look at the accompanying errors for details on why the execute failed.
Cause: The updatable materialized view query contained a join, subquery, union, connect by, order by, or group by clause.
Action: Make the materialized view simpler. If a join is really needed, make multiple simple materialized views then put a view on top of them.
Cause: The CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command was issued with the WITH PRIMARY KEY option and the master table did not contain a primary key constraint or the constraint was disabled.
Action: Reissue the command using only the WITH ROWID option, create a primary key constraint on the master table, or enable an existing primary key constraint.
Cause: Neither ROWIDs nor primary key constraints are supported for complex queries.
Action: Reissue the command with the REFRESH FORCE or REFRESH COMPLETE option or create a simple materialized view.
Cause: The query that instantiates the materialized view did not include all of the columns in the master's primary key constraint.
Action: Include all of the master's primary key columns in the materialized view query or create a ROWID materialized view.
Cause: An attempt was made to convert the primary key of a materialized view to a ROWID materialized view.
Action: Conversion of a primary key materialized view to a ROWID materialized view is not supported. Create a new materialized view with ROWIDs or drop and recreate the materialized view with ROWIDs.
Cause: The refresh operations for the indicated materialized view could not be regenerated due to errors.
Action: Correct the problem indicated in the following error messages and repeat the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a materialized view or a materialized view log on a remote synonym which is unsupported.
Action: Do not create a materialized view or materialized view log on a remote synonym.
Cause: An attempt was made to unregister a materialized view that is not registered.
Action: No action required.
Cause: The indicated materialized view is no longer valid.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
Cause: Materialized view log on the indicated table already has ROWID information.
Action: No action required.
Cause: The specified ROWID materialized view did not have the required index on the ROWID column of its underlying table.
Action: Drop and recreate the materialized view.
Cause: Materialized view log on the indicated table does not have primary key information.
Action: Add primary keys to the materialized view log using the ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW command.
Cause: Materialized view log on the indicated table already has primary key columns.
Action: No action required.
Cause: One or more of the specified filter columns did not exist or was a primary key column or a primary key based object identifier.
Action: Ensure that all specified filter columns exist in the master table and ensure that primary key columns or primary key based object identifiers are not included in the list of filter columns.
Cause: One or more of the specified filter columns was already being recorded in the materialized view log.
Action: Describe the materialized view log table and reissue the SQL command with the filter columns that are already being recorded in the materialized view log.
Cause: Pre-Oracle8 master sites are not able to support primary key or subquery materialized views that are able to perform a fast refresh.
Action: Create a ROWID materialized view or use a master table from an Oracle8 site.
Cause: An attempt was made to use LOB columns as filter columns.
Action: Remove LOB columns from the filter columns list and retry command.
Cause: The materialized view log did not exist or did not log the information needed by the materialized view to perform a fast refresh.
Action: Ensure that the materialized view log exists and logs the necessary information.
Cause: The materialized view log either did not have primary key columns logged, or the timestamp associated with the primary key columns was more recent than the last refresh time.
Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. Add primary key columns to the materialized view log, if required.
Cause: The materialized view log either does not have ROWID columns logged, or the timestamp associated with the ROWID columns is more recent than the last refresh time.
Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. Add ROWID columns to the materialized view log, if required.
Cause: The materialized view log either did not have filter columns logged, or the timestamp associated with the filter columns was more recent than the last refresh time.
Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. Add filter columns to the materialized view log, if required.
Cause: The materialized view log was younger than the last refresh.
Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh.
Cause: The materialized view log did not exist or could not be used.
Action: Use just REFRESH, which will reinstantiate the entire table. If a materialized view log exists and the form of the materialized view allows the use of a materialized view log, REFRESH FAST will be available starting the next time the materialized view is refreshed.
Cause: The updatable materialized view log was not empty. The updatable materialized view log must be empty before an updatable rowid materialized view can be altered to a primary key materialized view.
Action: Ensure that updatable materialized view log is empty by refreshing the materialized view before converting the updatable ROWID materialized view to a primary key materialized view.
Cause: An attempt was made to import a materialized view exported by an unknown export version (for example, from a newer release than the importing site).
Action: Re-export the file using a version of export known by the importing site.
Cause: A local rollback segment was specified in the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW command, but automatic refresh parameters were not specified. Therefore a refresh group was not created to automatically refresh the materialized view and the local rollback segment can't be registered for future use.
Action: Either supply the automatic refresh parameters so that a refresh group will be created or do not specify a local rollback segment.
Cause: An attempt was made to specify master rollback segment in the current operation. The master site of the current materialized view does not allow users to specify a rollback segment to be used for materialized view operations. This feature is only supported by Oracle8 or later master sites.
Action: Do not specify a master rollback segment in the current operation or choose a new master site.
Cause: Index-organized tables do not have ROWIDs. Therefore a materialized view log that records the ROWIDs of an index-organized table could not be created.
Action: Do not include the WITH ROWID option when using the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW command and do not include the ADD ROWID option when using the ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW command if the master table is index-organized.
Cause: An attempt was made to alter job_queue_processes in single process mode.
Action: Do not attempt to set job_queue_processes in single process mode.
Cause: An invalid option was used in a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statement.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: An invalid option was used in a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG statement.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: An invalid option was used in an ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG statement.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: The ON COMMIT refresh attribute, incompatible with other refresh options such as automatic periodic refresh, was specified.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: Either ROWIDs of certain tables were missing in the definition or the inner table of an outer join did not have UNIQUE constraints on join columns.
Action: Specify the FORCE or COMPLETE option. If this error occurred during creation, the materialized view definition may have been changed. Refer to the documentation on materialized views.
Cause: The list of objects in the FROM clause of the definition of this materialized view had some dependencies upon each other.
Action: Refer to the documentation to see which types of nesting are valid.
Cause: The materialized view did not satisfy conditions for refresh at commit time.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: The materialized view query definition introduced a cyclic dependency with existing materialized views.
Action: Modify the materialized view query definition.
Cause: The NEVER REFRESH option may not be used under the following conditions:
Action: For updatable materialized views, reissue the SQL command using REFRESH FORCE, REFRESH FAST, or REFRESH COMPLETE. For read-only materialized views, reissue the SQL command using ON DEMAND.
Cause: The status of the materialized view was INVALID and an attempt was made to fast refresh the materialized view.
Action: Perform a complete refresh of the materialized view. Check the value of the STATUS column in dba_mviews, all_mviews, or user_mviews to verify that the materialized view is VALID after the complete refresh.
Cause: An attempt was made to use the prebuilt tables.
Action: Reissue the SQL command using BUILD IMMEDIATE or BUILD DEFERRED.
Cause: The specified prebuilt table did not exist.
Action: Reissue the SQL command using BUILD IMMEDIATE, BUILD DEFERRED, or ensure that the prebuilt table exists.
Cause: The number of columns or the type or the length semantics of a column in the prebuilt table did not match the materialized view definition query.
Action: Reissue the SQL command using BUILD IMMEDIATE, BUILD DEFERRED, or ensure that the prebuilt table matches the materialized view definition query.
Cause: An invalid option was used in an ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW statement.
Action: Specify only valid options.
Cause: A transaction from the client site was received out of sequence. This implies that one or more transactions were missing.
Action: Ensure that the transaction queue at the client site is valid and has not been corrupted.
Cause: The current transaction from the client site could not be applied to the master site.
Action: Ensure that the client site is still valid and that it has not been dropped from the master site.
Cause: The client site was attempting to perform a refresh with an invalid refresh sequence.
Action: Perform a complete refresh to synchronize the refresh sequence number.
Cause: The specified refresh group did not exist at the master site.
Action: Ensure that the client site is still valid and that it has not been dropped from the master site.
Cause: The Replication API does not support the following options and types of materialized view:
Action: Create a PRIMARY KEY materialized view using REFRESH WITH PRIMARY KEY and/or remove the invalid options.
Cause: The refresh group being instantiated did not contain any materialized views.
Action: Modify the template to include at least one materialized view.
Cause: The updatable materialized view was missing the updatable materialized view log required to track updates made to the materialized view.
Action: Create the updatable materialized view log.
Cause: Only materialized views can be offline instantiated. The object being offline instantiated was not a valid materialized view.
Action: Remove the object from the template or replace the object with a valid materialized view.
Cause: Offline instantiation does not support materialized views using the following options:
Action: Remove the invalid options.
Cause: Offline instantiation requires materialized view definition queries to observe the following constraints:
Action: Modify the materialized view definition query.
Cause: The updatable materialized view is missing the updatable materialized view log that is required to track updates made to the materialized view.
Action: Create the updatable materialized view log.
Cause: An out-of-sequence request was made and it cannot be processed.
Action: Try again with a valid request.
Cause: An attempt was made to access an invalid memory region.
Action: Reconnect and try the command again.
Cause: ] An attempt was made to access an invalid field or object in the Java Virtual Memory.
Action: Retry the request.
Cause: The result set threshold or LOB threshold value is not supported.
Action: Specify a threshold value below 64K.
Cause: Temporary updatable materialized view log was not created or was dropped.
Action: Re-create the temporary updatable materialized view log.
Warning: This will cause a complete refresh of the materialized view.
Cause: Refresh result set sent through client method REFRESH_REQ_RESULT returned an unknown value.
Action: Re-issue the refresh request.
Cause: The following materialized view options require an 8.1 or higher compatibility setting:
The following materialized view options require a 9.0.0 or higher compatibility setting:
Action: Shut down and restart with an appropriate compatibility setting.
Cause: An attempt was made to update a read-only materialized view. Only Oracle is allowed to update a read-only materialized view.
Action: No action required.
Cause: An attempt was made to create an index-organized materialized aggregate view or an index-organized updatable ROWID materialized view. This is not supported.
Action: Try to create the materialized view without the index organization clause.
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a materialized view using a command other than DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW.
Action: Use the DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW command.
Cause: An attempt was made to alter a materialized view using a command other than ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW.
Action: Use the ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW command.
Cause: Materialized view log on the indicated table already has object id information.
Action: No action required.
Cause: The CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command was issued with the WITH OBJECT ID option and the master table is not an object table.
Action: Either specify the name of an object table, or remove the WITH OBJECT ID clause.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table owned by SYS or SYSTEM.
Action: Do not attempt to online redefine a table owned by SYS or SYSTEM.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table containing a LONG column, an ADT column, or a FILE column.
Action: Do not attempt to online redefine a table containing a LONG column, an ADT column, or a FILE column.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table that does not have a primary key defined on it.
Action: Do not attempt to online redefine a table that does not have a primary key defined on it.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table that is either a clustered table, AQ table, temporary table, or IOT overflow table.
Action: Do not attempt to online redefine a table that is a clustered table, AQ table, temporary table, or IOT overflow table.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table that had materialized views defined on it or had a materialized view log defined on it or is a master.
Action: Drop all materialized views and materialized view logs before attempting to online redefine the table.
Cause: An attempt was made to online redefine a table that is either a materialized view or a replicated table.
Action: Do not attempt to online redefine a table that is either a materialized view or a replicated table.
Cause: The table is not the interim table of the corresponding table to be online redefined.
Action: Pass in the valid interim table.
Cause: There was an error during the online redefinition process.
Action: Abort the online redefinition process.
Cause: There was an error originating from this materialized view log. One possible cause is that schema redefinition has occurred on the master table and one or more columns in the log is now a different type than the corresponding master columns. Another possible cause is that there is a problem accessing the underlying materialized view log table.
Action: Check further error messages in the stack for more detail about the cause. If there has been schema redefinition, drop the materialized view log and recreate it.
Cause: There are some changes (that is, conventional DML, direct load, partition maintenance operation) in the master tables during materialized view refresh.
Action: Refresh the affected materialized views again.
