Re: ERR: ORA-04031 unable to allocate

Take a look at Metalink note :1076835.6. You may be running out of underlying OS user process memory. Changing some kernel parameters may help.

One other thing to check: Is this query going parallel (i.e. is the degree of any of the underlying objects > 1 and you are seeing parallel query process slaves showing up on the server?).

Regards,
Chris Gait
