ORA-27102 OSD-00026 O/S-Error: (OS 1455)

I am trying to restore the database to new host, While doing the first step, I try to start the database,

SQL> startup nomount pfile=’F:\backup\init.ORA’;
ORA-32006: SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON initialization parameter has been deprecated

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kmgs_component_init_5], [15], [], []
, [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []

Solution :

The below error message appeared in the alert log file.

ORA-27102: out of memory
OSD-00026: additional error information
O/S-Error: (OS 1455) The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.

Error: Failed to allocate SGA start_addr 00000007D0000000 size 134217728

It seems to be a Memory issue on the server. I have crosschecked the server RAM and init.ora file Memory target size.  The Server RAM size is lesser than memory target size. so I have adjusted the memory target size in init.ora file according to the Server RAM and tried to start the database as a nomount stage, its okay.

Or you need to increase RAM on the server if you need more.

12c SQL loader express mode

In Oracle Database12c, SQL*Loader has a new feature called express mode that makes loading CSV files faster and easier. With express mode, there is no need to write a control file for most CSV files you load. Instead, you can load the CSV file with just a few parameters on the SQL*Loader command line.

Example :

SQL> create table dept(deptno number,deptname varchar2(20),deptlocation varchar2(20));

Table created.

SQL> desc dept;
Name Null? Type
—————————————– ——– —————————-
DEPTNO NUMBER
DEPTNAME VARCHAR2(20)
DEPTLOCATION VARCHAR2(20)

Step 2:  create a procedure

Create or replace procedure Drop_DbLink(schemaName varchar2, dbLink varchar2 ) is
plsql varchar2(1000);
cur number;
uid number;
rc number;
begin
select
u.user_id into uid
from dba_users u
where u.username = schemaName;
plsql := ‘drop database link “‘||dbLink||'”‘;
cur := SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL.open_cursor;
SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL.parse_as_user(
c => cur,
statement => plsql,
language_flag => DBMS_SQL.native,
userID => uid
);
rc := SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL.execute(cur);

SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL.close_cursor(cur);
end;
