ORA-01220

Posted on 12-Mar-2010 By Admin No Comments on ORA-01220

Oracle Error :: ORA-01220

file based sort illegal before database is open

Cause

A query issued against a fixed table or view required a temporary segment for sorting before the database was open. Only in-memory sorts are supported before the database is open.

Action

Re-phrase the query to avoid a large sort, increase the values of the SORT_AREA_SIZE and/or SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE initialization parameters to enable the sort to be done in memory.

Oracle, SQL scripts
