Wow. That's a lot of recursion.

Do you have any PL/SQL Functions that run SQL that use different PL/SQL Functions that call more SQL that contain more PL/SQL Functions, etc.

If so, don't do that.

It smells a loop in the calls or infinite recursion calls, explicit or not (like triggers).

Hey...

Dear Ross Leishman / Michel

this issue that i am facing comes only when i use oracle 10.2.0.1 installed on a linux machine..

whenever i use the same service on a a 9i database..there is no such error..

Is there someting linux specific that interferes with this trace.

Another thing..

the service which i ma trying to trace runs smoothly otherwise..but the oment i trace it ..the service hangs up..

and yet again the database is 10.2.0.1 hosted on linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

We don't have your trace and environment, it is hard to diagnose something.

Dear Michel,

thank you a ton for your help...

however i will need ore of your wisdom as this is an issue i need to reolve asap..

the issue is that the trace works well on 9i while it screws on 10g....

infact the trace works well on a 9i oracle ( hosted on SunOS )
10.1 hosted on HP..

but it goes haywire on 10.2 hosted on Linux..

Please help

Please

Kind regards
Ashish

9i <> 10.1 <> 10.2
Without more information can't say nothing more.
