Mark,

No chance I'm running out of memory. I checked max PGA for the session, it was around 26M after successful execution, what is not something completely unbareable, and didn't climb up after next executions.

We can probably workaround this issue, thanks for suggestion.

Regards
Vadim

Is it possible that you are running out memory on the OS?

A different question I have is why bulk collect such a large amount at once. Why not do a cursor with a limit on the fetch? This would allow you to process in smaller batches instead of one gigantic fetch and insert.

Hi dear listers,

Some of you may still remember this thread, bulk collect truncated to 65535 records sometimes.
I've got this case reproduceable and tried all suggestions ,

In a brief,
 SELECT returns 318847 rows,
 INSERT INTO FROM SELECT - 318847 rows,  PL/SQL plain FOR cr IN (select ..) LOOP - - 318847 rows  PL/SQL with BULK COLLECT many different code versions - sometimes returs 65535 records instead, the rest is truncated

What might be interesting, in case when it fails, it doesn't retrieve requiered rows from disk. I can judge it by much shorter responce time and 10046 trace doesn't show db file sequential read events what always showup when number of rows is correct.

10046 trace provides interesting details, 65535 records is approximately the point (=/- 50 records) where it usually does first db file sequential read in case of successful execution.

So Waleed, apparently there is a problem here, 9.0.1.4 Solaris. Time to TAR now.

Below is the spool from my recent session.

Have a good day,
Vadim

This is a good sign. I would be very concerned if there is a problem since I have many important apps that use bulk load.

Keep us updated.

Waleed

No, Waleed, I didn't.

Trying to reproduce the problem now, but can't, neither count nor last. Weird.

Thanks,
Vadim

When this happens, did you try displaying esubsvcparmid.count?

Hi all,

Is there any "best practice" regarding practical limits on PL/SQL tables? We've got an issue here which may potentially invalidate data, no error messages.

Here is the case:

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.4.0, Solaris.

DECLARE
   TYPE t_subsvcparmid IS TABLE OF sub_svc_parm.sub_svc_parm_id%TYPE;    esubsvcparmid t_subsvcparmid;
BEGIN
   SELECT /*+ index(sub_svc_parm, sub_svc_parm_ix2) */

          sub_svc_parm_id
     BULK COLLECT INTO esubsvcparmid
     FROM sub_svc_parm

    WHERE parm_id = 10;

        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(esubsvcparmid.LAST);

..................................

The select is expected to return close to 200K records, and usually it does, but sometimes number of records is restricted to 65535 = 2^16-1, it can be seen both from DBMS_OUTPUT and 10046 trace:

FETCH
#2:c=4370000,e=33876545,p=14895,cr=66960,cu=0,mis=0,r=65535,dep=1,og=4,tim=1 052942377932150

	
^^^^^^^

Did anybody see such weird behavior?
