Existing Pointers :-

Sometimes decreasing the size of your sort_area_size will remedy this problem.

Another thought is that if you are using parallel query on this view, perhaps the amount of memory required for the number of slaves handling the query is growing too big.

Qs ANY OTHER POINTERS PLEASE?

Server info:-

Server 2 GB memory

2 CPUs

Solaris 9

Oracle 9i
