ORA-04930 to ORA-07499

ORA-04930 open sequence number failed or initial state is valid

Cause: Either Shared Sequence Number operating system component was not installed properly, or an MC hardware failure may have occurred or a previous instance was not shut down properly.

Action: Verify that there are no background or foreground Oracle processes from a previous instance on this node using the operating system command ps -ef|grep instance_name. Verify that there are no shared memory segments belonging to the user which owns the Oracle installation by issuing the ipcs -b operating system command. If there are shared memory segments or processes still on the system, use SVRMGRL to shut down the instance with the abort option. If the instance is not up, verify that the cluster software and/or the hardware is installed and working. Log in as superuser and issue the CNXSHOW command. Are all of the nodes in the cluster listed? Are they members of the cluster? Is the communications between nodes okay? If the answer to any of these questions is false, contact Digital's customer support organization.

ORA-04931 unable to set initial sequence number value

Cause: A call to the SSN failed to set the sequence number to its initial value, possibly caused by an MC hardware problem.

Action: Verify that the MC hardware is functioning properly. If it is not, contact Digital's customer support organization. If it is, contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-04932 increment or adjust of sequence number failed

Cause: A call to the SSN failed to increment the sequence number.

Action: Verify that the MC hardware is functioning properly. If it is not, contact Digital's customer support organization. If it is, contact Oracle Customer Support.

Cause: An attempt is being made to copy a PL/SQL table to a host language array. But an index in the table is either less than one or greater than the maximum size of the host language array. When copying PL/SQL tables to host language arrays, the table entry at index 1 is placed in the first element of the array, the entry at index 2 is placed in the second element of the array, etc. If an table entry has not been assigned then the corresponding element in the host language array is set to null.

Action: Increase size of host language array, or decrease size of PL/SQL table. Also make sure that you do not use index values less than 1.

ORA-06514 PL/SQL: The remote call cannot be handled by the server

Cause: The remote call has parameters that are cursor variables. This cannot be handled by stored procedures on your server.

Action: Avoid using cursor variables as parameters for stored procedures on this server or upgrade your server to a version that supports this.

Action: Correct the syntax in the external specification.

ORA-06525 Length Mismatch for CHAR or RAW data

Cause: The length specified in the length variable has an illegal value. This can happen if you have requested a PL/SQL INOUT, OUT or RETURN raw variable to be passed as a RAW with no corresponding length variable. This error can also happen if there is a mismatch in the length value set in the length variable and the length in the ORLVSTR or ORLRAW.

Action: Correct the external procedure code and set the length variable correctly.

ORA-06526 Unable to load PL/SQL library

Cause: PL/SQL was unable to instantiate the library referenced by this referenced in the EXTERNAL syntax. This is a serious error and should normally not happen.

Action: Report this problem to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-06527 External procedure SQLLIB error: string

Cause: An error occurred in SQLLIB during execution of a Pro* external procedure.

Action: The message text indicates the actual SQLLIB error that occurred.

Action: See accompanying PLS-nnnnn error messages.

ORA-06550 line string, column string:string

Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error has occurred. The numbers given for line and column are the location in the PL/SQL block where the error occurred.

Action: Refer to the following PL/SQL messages for more information about the error.

ORA-06551 PL/SQL: Unhandled exception

ORA-06552 PL/SQL: string

ORA-06553 PLS-string: string

ORA-06554 package DBMS_STANDARD must be created before using PL/SQL

Cause: The DBMS-specific extensions to PL/SQL's package STANDARD are in package DBMS_STANDARD. This package must be created before using PL/SQL.

Action: Create package DBMS_STANDARD. The source for this PL/SQL stored package is provided with the distribution.

ORA-06555 this name is currently reserved for use by user SYS

Cause: An attempt was made to create a package named STANDARD, DBMS_STANDARD or DEBUG_IO. These are currently reserved for use by user SYS.

Action: Choose another name for your package.

ORA-06556 the pipe is empty, cannot fulfill the unpack_message request

Cause: There are no more items in the pipe.

Action: Check that the sender and receiver agree on the number and types of items placed on the pipe.

ORA-06557 null values are not allowed for any parameters to pipe icd's

Cause: Internal error from the DBMS_PIPE package.

Action: Contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-06558 buffer in dbms_pipe package is full. No more items allowed

Cause: The pipe buffer size has been exceeded.

Action: Inspect the program to analyze the rate of input and output to the pipe. You might need to take items out of the pipe by executing RECEIVE_MESSAGE, or empty the entire pipe by executing PURGE on the pipe.

ORA-06559 wrong datatype requested, string, actual datatype is string

Cause: The sender put different datatype on the pipe than that being requested (package DBMS_PIPE). The numbers are:

  • 6 - number

  • 9 - char

  • 12 - date

Action: Check that the sender and receiver agree on the number and types of items placed on the pipe.

ORA-06560 pos, string, is negative or larger than the buffer size, string

Cause: Internal error from the DBMS_PIPE package.

Action: Contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-06561 given statement is not supported by package DBMS_SQL

Cause: An attempt was made to parse an unsupported statement using procedure PARSE provided by package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Only statements which begin with SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, LOCK, BEGIN, DECLARE or << (PL/SQL label delimiter) are supported.

ORA-06562 type of out argument must match type of column or bind variable

Cause: An attempt was made to get the value of a column or a bind variable by calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE of package DBMS_SQL but the type of the given out argument where to place the value is different from the type of the column or bind variable that was previously defined by calling procedure DEFINE_COLUMN (for defining a column) or BIND_VARIABLE (for binding a bind variable) of package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Pass in an out argument of the correct type when calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE. The right type is the type that was provided when defining the column or binding the bind variable.

ORA-06563 top level procedure/function specified, cannot have subparts

Cause: The name to be resolved was specified with three parts (a.b.c) but the a.b part resolves to a top level procedure or function (which do not have nested procedures). This can also happen with a two-part name, a.b, where a is a synonym for a top level package or procedure.

Action: Specify a procedure/function within a package, or a top level procedure/function.

ORA-06564 object string does not exist

Cause: The named object could not be found. Either it does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.

Action: Create the object or get permission to access it.

ORA-06565 cannot execute string from within stored procedure

Cause: The named procedure cannot be executed from within a stored procedure, function or package. This function can only be used from PL/SQL anonymous blocks.

Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06566 invalid number of rows specified

Cause: An invalid number of rows was specified in a call to the procedure DEFINE_COLUMN in the package DBMS_SQL. For a given parsed statement in a given cursor, all columns must be defined to have the same number of rows, so all the calls to DEFINE_COLUMN must specify the same number of rows.

Action: Specify a number that matches that for previously defined columns.

ORA-06567 invalid number of values specified

Cause: An invalid number of values to be bound was specified in a call to the procedure BIND_VARIABLE in the package DBMS_SQL. In order to execute a given parsed statement in a given cursor, the same number of values must have been bound for all bind variables, so when EXECUTE is called, the latest calls to BIND_VARIABLE must have specified the same number of values to be bound for all bind variables.

Action: Make sure that the same number of values have been bound for all of the bind variables.

ORA-06568 obsolete ICD procedure called

Cause: An obsolete ICD procedure was called by a PL/SQL program. The PL/SQL program was probably written for an earlier release of RDBMS.

Action: Make sure that all PL/SQL programs have been upgraded to the latest release of the RDBMS. This can be accomplished by following upgrade instructions in the README file, or by running the CATPROC.SQL script supplied with the RDBMS.

ORA-06569 Collection bound by bind_array contains no elements

Cause: A collection with zero elements was bound to a bind variable in a call to procedure BIND_ARRAY in the package DBMS_SQL. In order to execute a bind of a collection, the collection must contain at least one element. If no elements are present then at execute time there will be no value for this bind and the statement is meaningless.

Action: Fill the collection with the elements you want to bind and try the bind call again.

ORA-06570 shared pool object does not exist, cannot be pinned

Cause: The specified shared pool shared cursor could not be found, therefore it cannot be pinned.

Action: Make sure that a correct shared cursor name is given. Names are a string of the form 'HHHHHHHH,SDDDDDDDDDD' where the H's are an 8 digit hex number from the 'address' column of V$SQLAREA, and the D's are a 1 to 10 digit decimal number with an optional leading sign (from the HASH_VALUE column) Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06571 Function string does not guarantee not to update database

Cause: One of the following:

  • A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function that does not contain a pragma that prevents the database from being updated.

  • A SQL statement references a standalone, PL/SQL function that contains an instruction to update the database.

Action: If the referenced function is a packaged, PL/SQL function, re-create the PL/SQL function with the required pragma; be certain to include the 'Write No Database State' (WNDS) argument in the argument list of the pragma. If the referenced function is standalone, PL/SQL function, do not use the function.

ORA-06572 Function string has out arguments

Cause: A SQL statement references either a packaged or standalone PL/SQL function that contains an OUT parameter in its argument list. PL/SQL functions referenced by SQL statements must not contain the OUT parameter.

Action: Re-create the PL/SQL function without the OUT parameter in the argument list.

ORA-06573 Function string modifies package state, cannot be used here

Cause: One of the following:

  • A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function that does not contain a pragma containing the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS).

  • A SQL statement references a standalone, PL/SQL function that modifies a package state. A standalone, PL/SQL function referenced by a SQL statement cannot modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged, PL/SQL function: Re-create the function and include a pragma containing the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS). If the function is standalone PL/SQL function, delete the function from the SQL statement.

ORA-06574 Function string references package state, cannot execute remotely

Cause: One of the following:

  • A remote, packaged function or a remote-mapped, local, packaged function that does not contain a pragma with the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS) and 'Read no Package State' (RNPS) arguments references a package state.

  • A remote, standalone function or a remote-mapped, local, standalone function contains a reference to a package state (reads or writes a package variable). Only local functions that are referenced in a SELECT list, VALUES clause of an INSERT statement, or SET clause of an UPDATE statement can modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged function: Re-create the function and include a pragma containing the 'Write no Package State' (WNPS) and 'Read no Package State' (RNPS) arguments. If the function is a standalone function: Do not call the function.

ORA-06575 Package or function string is in an invalid state

Cause: A SQL statement references a PL/SQL function that is in an invalid state. Oracle attempted to compile the function, but detected errors.

Action: Check the SQL statement and the PL/SQL function for syntax errors or incorrectly assigned, or missing, privileges for a referenced object.

ORA-06576 not a function or procedure

Cause: Could not find a function (if an INTO clause was present) or a procedure (if the statement did not have an INTO clause) to call.

Action: Change the statement to invoke a function or procedure.

ORA-06577 output parameter not a bind variable

Cause: The argument corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement must be a bind variable.

Action: Change the argument to a bind variable.

ORA-06578 output parameter cannot be a duplicate bind

Cause: The bind variable corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement cannot be a duplicate bind variable.

Action: Change the bind variable to be unique.

ORA-06580 Hash Join ran out of memory while keeping large rows in memory

Cause: Hash Join reserves 3 slots (each slot size = DB_BLOCK_SIZE * HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT) for a row. If a row is larger than that, this error will be raised.

Action: Increase HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT so that each joined row fits in a slot. HASH_AREA_SIZE may also need to be increased.
