If you are using 9i, look into PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY instead trying to manually tune SORT_AREA_SIZE, HASH_AREA_SIZE, BITMAP_MERGE_AREA_SIZE, and CREATE_BITMAP_AREA_SIZE. Set WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY to auto, size PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET properly and let ORACLE worry about PGA management.
