Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Take a look at Metalink note :1076835.6. You may be running out of underlying OS user process memory. Changing some kernel parameters may help. One other thing to check: Is this query going parallel (i.e. is the degree of any of the underlying objects > 1 and you are seeing parallel query process slaves showing up on the server?).
