Re: Session PGA memory max exceeded 2 GB and crashes.

Nigel,

(Your private email to me has not arrived yet - this one from the list, has.)

>> you've somehow blown the call stack. double the SGA and it will just
blow a few milliseconds later...
Oh dear, so changing the kernel parameter won't help much then. Blowing the stack sounds like we have a recursion problem - possibly. Hmmmmmmm.

That's what I'm trying to find out.

>> - doing a PkTrace.Enter on every row (in the entire table) and
stacking its context
Yes - possibly. It is certainly doing it once per call.

>> - maybe not doing a PkTrace.leave and so not popping the stack
(either through code error or

No - the code is (a) performing an exit on sucessful exit, and the exception handlers are perfroming an error call which itself exits. Good call however.

>> - and so generally exploding.

It certainly does.

>> As I said privately to Norman

Right, I can do this as we have the source.

>> 3) have a look through Pk_Utils.fnc_get_sys_par to see where it's
lost its pop
Already done - it pops all its pushes!

>> 4) go home and start cooking the brussel sprouts (there's barely
time before Monday...)
They've been biling away nicely since April. We Scots like our veggies boiled to a mush - apparently.

Thanks.
Norman.
