Hi all,

        I have a procedure that seems to be bringing my server to it's knees. Winnt, Oracle 817 (Pipe down Ross:))
Anyway, what happens is a pl/sql table is placed into memory and then later on it will be written to the disk. However, by the time the process is about to get to the writing part the machine is dead. The Oracle.exe process is well over 700MBs and the Virtual Memory is over a gig and a half!! Is there anyway for me to limit this, I tried using the registry entry ORA_WORKINGSETMAX, however that doesn't seem to work. Has anyone used this setting? Are you just supposed to put a number in the entry? I put 600 but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Kevin Kostyszyn
