Hi all !
I'm going to write an application that make uses of lots of sorts
in its queries. I don't have a deep knowdledge of Oracle Administration
but I'm aware that an init parameter (SORT_AREA_SIZE if I remember well)
states how much space to reserve for sorts. So I wonder, what if that space
won't be enough : the segments reserved will "explode" like rollback
segments do,
or Oracle will enlarge it by itself ?
One more question : How do I monitor if this space is going to be exausted ?
Thanks a lot
Francesco
