Hi,

ORA-600 error messages normally asks u to getin touch with the Oracle Technical Support team....Unknown Errors...!!!

Simple way to override this would b to shutdowm abort and restart the DB...!!!

Still working out another worth and possible solution for it....

Just a thought...

ORA-600 error messages should not be taken lightly...

you might be facing bug 996607 ... if you have a trigger on this table, try to drop it and test again (don't forget to be sure you can recreate the trigger after).

The ORA-600 is an Oracle internal error and could not be pin pointed to a particular problem since there are
many possibilities for it to occur.

First look at the trace directories and the alert log files.

You will find many error files along with error no ORA-600

First try to restart the DB after a clean shutdown of the DB and restart the server itself if possible.

If still this doesnt work out call oracle support

They can tell which executable and line caused the crash based on your input of the error messages.

How to locate and send the Error Mesage to Oracle......
----------------------------------------------------------------

Look in to oracles bdump, udump and cdump directories.

Look for trace files that occurred at the time of your ORA-600 error. These files can tell you more specifics of what happened so that you can send these files to Oracle Support.

Also Look in to your alert_.ora file. There will be messages about the ORA-600 error.

There will also be associated numbers in brackets that will tell Oracle Support what system executable has caused this
Problem

Normally the Errors looks likes this ORA-600 [1236] [89999] [7] [6] [] [] etc.........

ORA-600 is nothing but error or bug which could be said as that could not be classified as another error within oracle.

Might be, might be not :-)

yes, but it costs nothing to check if there is a trigger, to drop it and to try again ... ORA-00600 means that the error is not handled, but it can perfectly be a bug, and to be honest, I've always found solutions to ORA-00600 on metalink ...

I had traced the error, you're right pipo it's the trigger that caused this error. when I issue the alter table and add a column with a default value oracle first add's the column and updates the existing records with the default values. my trigger fires when an update and delete occurs on that table. the triggers updates another table but unfortunately i truncate the table that the trigger updates.

i disabled the trigger and issued the alter table command and it works.

could that be an oracle bug?

[pipo]

well, you meet all requirements for bug 996607, so I think this is it, but I don't know how to be sure that this IS this bug ... well anyway, the essential is that it works
