ORA-4030 means that Oracle can not grab more memory from the OS for the process.

You can ask the SA to increase the memory limit for a process or use less ressources in your code.

I have that error on and off as some duhveloppers still trie to do an 8 pages select with 6 unions and at least 26 tables.

We get the error :
ORA-04030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 16396 bytes (koh-kghu sessi, kol vstring)

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS.SQL", line 917
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 120
ORA-06512: at line 194

Version is 8.1.7.0.0
Any one any advice on avoiding this error? The code being run is similar to the following:

declare
