Set the dump file size to unlimited.

I'm tracing a session with 10046 event level 8. Here's the method I use:

    sys.dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session( p_sid, p_serial#, TRUE );
    sys.dbms_system.set_bool_param_in_session(p_sid, p_serial#,
      'timed_statistics', true);

/* Max dump file size is 2G */
sys.dbms_system.set_int_param_in_session(p_sid, p_serial#, 'max_dump_file_size', 2147483647); sys.dbms_system.set_ev(p_sid, p_serial#, 10046, p_level, '');

If I set max_dump_file_size greater than 2G I get an error. But with trace level 8, I'm easily overrunning this limit. How do you guys get around this?

BTW - Just got Optimizing Oracle Performance last night and if I didn't have to work so much I would have read it through by now. Maybe I'll take tomorrow off.
