I hate it when you solve one problem and then another comes up!!! Oh well....
This is actually a common problem. Others have experienced the same thing. This is a known bug and should have been fixed in Oracle 8.1.7.2 and higher. But you can fix this without applying a patchset. Simply peform the following:
- Navigate to the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.
- Load the dbmslmd.sql file into a text editor of your choice.
- Change the line:
TYPE col_desc_array IS VARRAY(513) OF col_description;
toTYPE col_desc_array IS VARRAY(700) OF col_description;
- Save the file.
- Connect as INTERNAL (or SYS) and run this script again.
- Recompile the package body DBMS_LOGMNR_D:
SQLPLUS> alter package DBMS_LOGMNR_D compile body;
That should fix your problem.For More Information
