    The document discusses resolving the ORA-07445 "exception encountered: core dump" error, noting that this generic error usually requires logging a service request with Oracle support as it can be caused by issues like software bugs, too little memory, program errors, hardware errors, or block corruption. Common steps include using alert mechanisms to email core dump files to DBAs when this error occurs and searching the Metalink notes database using details from trace files to identify the specific cause.

    Question: I'm getting the "ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump" error m
    essage and I cannot understand the meaning of the core dump file. How do you re
    solve the ORA-07445 error? The trace file notes:
    Exception signal: 11 (SIGSEGV), code: 1 (Address not mapped to object), addr: 0x
    0, PC: [0x1024ef000, opidsa()+480]
    *** 2007-03-29 16:15:22.349
    ksedmp: internal or fatal error
    ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [opidsa()+480] [SIGSEGV] [Address no
    t mapped to object] [0x000000000] [] []
    Current SQL statement for this session:
    Select /*+ CHOOSE */ object_name ObjectName, object_type ObjectType from user_ob
    jects where object_name = :OBJNAME order by 2

    Answer: The ORA-07445 is a very generic error, OS dependent, and almost always
    requires logging a service request (SR) with Oracle Technical support on MOSC.
    In general, an "exception" is an un-trapped error, such as dividing a number by
    zero. The docs note:
    Error: ORA-07445 exception encountered: core dump
    Cause : An operating system exception occurred which should result in the cr
    eation of a core file. This is an internal error.
    Action : Contact Oracle Customer Support.
    Common precipitators of the ORA-07445 include:
    * High volume user transactions
    * Software bugs (i.e. Bug 4098853). See note 342443.1 on MOSC.

    * Too-small RAM regions (shared_pool_size, java pool, large_pool_size), and


    a too-small application memory stack (e.g. PL/SQL array too small)
    * Too small undo and temp segments
    * Program errors (addressing outside of RAM region), e.g. S0C4.
    * Improper NLS parameter settings
    * Hardware errors
    * Oracle block corruption
    and a host of other related issues.
    Oracle DBA's use alert mechanisms to send an e-mail to the DBA when ORA-07445 er
    rors occur, e-mailing the associated core dump file. MOSC now offers an ORA-744
    5 search tool, as described in MOSC note Note:208922.1, and you can supply detai
    ls from the Oracle trace file to see the exact cause.
