Oracle Error Message
ORA-04031: unable to allocate string bytes of shared memory (“string”,”string”,”string”,”string”)
Reason for the Error
More shared memory is needed than was allocated in the shared pool or Streams pool.
Solution
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 initialization parameters SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE. If the large pool is out of memory, increase the initialization parameter LARGE_POOL_SIZE. If the error is issued from an Oracle Streams or XStream process, increase the initialization parameter STREAMS_POOL_SIZE or increase the capture or apply parameter MAX_SGA_SIZE.
