I think I see 2G-1 in the error message. Is that the limit you were looking for?

I've 3-4 servers with 16-26G of memory, that I thought I could use for some large sorts we're running at night.

  I got back
  06:24:20 LNW>ALTER SESSION SET SORT_AREA_SIZE =3147483647;   ERROR: ORA-00068: invalid value 3147483647 for parameter sort_area_size, must be
  between 0 and 2147483647

Opened a TAR and OS said it was OS dependent. I asked what limit was and he said he didn't have that info, BUT, if I re-started DB the problem should go away... I was hoping for a more concrete answer. And TAR still hasn't been updated although I did get phone call.
