RE: Faking an ORA-600

If you don't mind messing up a datafile, you could copy junk over an index datafile. Then use the index in a query. We had a corrupt index that always generated an ORA-600.

Terry,

  Depends on how you do it. If it's by checking the alert log file, I presume that something such as

   execute sys.dbms_system.kdswrt(3, 'Errors in file blablah.trc:')    execute sys.dbms_system.kdswrt(3, 'ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [9999], [FAKED], [], [], []')

  should look alarming enough.
