This message is telling you that you don't have enough ram to complete the
operation. Specifically,
04031, 00000, "unable to allocate %s bytes of shared memory
(\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\")"
// *Cause: More shared memory is needed than was allocated in the shared
// pool.
// *Action: If the shared pool is out of memory, either use the
// dbms_shared_pool package to pin large packages,
// reduce your use of shared memory, or increase the amount of
// available shared memory by increasing the value of the
// INIT.ORA parameters "shared_pool_reserved_size" and
// "shared_pool_size".
// If the large pool is out of memory, increase the INIT.ORA
// parameter "large_pool_size".
Did you maybe tweak with the init.ora parameters?
