Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: large pl/sql table sucking up all memory on a server
Does he still have a job? :)
Was it one session or many of them? How many rows got bulk processed? If it's one session that caused this, then it's either: vary badly designed, there is memory leak, or the system is already short in memory!

One of our guys used a very large bulk collect into with a forall update. It sucked up all the swap space on our solaris box and noone could connect to it. So we had to bounce the server.
I was under the impression that pl/sql tables go into the buffer cache and cannot go large than its size? Oracle typically holds your hand with memory usage issues. Are there any parameter settings I can use that limit the size of pl/sql tables?
Or are they just dynamic arrays that can grow as large as you want.
I know your supposed to use a 'limit' command on them. I didnt write it. I just dont want it to happen again.
