What 's max sort_area_size? SUN 64 bit O 9.2.0.4 64 bit 2004-06-08 - By Mark W. Farnham
Ah. Unfortunately that limit is compiled in and shipped for a given
OS/release. I do not believe that you can change it. I have not checked on
the availability of a "large memory model " release for that port, nor am I
sure they bump sort area size max above 2G even for a "large memory model "
port.

Mark,Niall, Thanks for input. What I 'm asking is what parameter sets
the limit and how can I raise the bar.
Just thought on 64 bit OS it could be higher than 2G.
From my TAR:
Hi,
The Sort_area_size minimum value is equivalent of six database blocks and
the maximum is OS dependent. This has been documented in NOTE:30918.1.(see
below)
Pls let us know if you have tried setting the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instead
of setting
sort_area_size.
There are some known issues like dynamically changing the parameters
sort_area_size, hash_area_size ...failing with ORA-68 (See ORA-68.ora-code.com).
For example:
SQL > alter session set sort_area_size=2097152;
ERROR:
ORA-68 (See ORA-68.ora-code.com): invalid value 2097152 for parameter sort_area_size
SQL > alter session set hash_area_size=2097152;
ERROR:
ORA-68 (See ORA-68.ora-code.com): invalid value 2097152 for parameter hash_area_size ...
The range of values are different.
In most of the times restarting the database resolved the
issue.(???????????????)
The reason could be that the range of these parameters are stored in SGA,
for some reason SGA corrupted/defective where range is stored. Afraid! so
bounce of the database should solve it.
Thanks XXXXXXX
Parameter type Integer
Default value 65536
Parameter class Dynamic: ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM ... DEFERRED
Range of values Minimum: the value equivalent of six database
blocks
Maximum: operating system-dependent (WHAT PARM?)

I think I see 2G-1 in the error message. Is that the limit you were
looking for?

I 've 3-4 servers with 16-26G of memory, that I thought I could use for
some large sorts we 're running at night.
I got back
06:24:20 LNW >ALTER SESSION SET SORT_AREA_SIZE =3147483647;
ERROR: ORA-00068 (See ORA-00068.ora-code.com): invalid value 3147483647 for parameter
sort_area_size, must be
between 0 and 2147483647
Opened a TAR and OS said it was OS dependent. I asked what limit was
and he said he didn 't have that info, BUT, if I re-started DB the problem
should go away... I was hoping for a more concrete answer. And TAR still
hasn 't been updated although I did get phone call.
