Error using LogMiner, Part 2
Thanks for your reply. As per your suggestion, I have tried to sign on as sys and tried to execute. But still I got the error message.
SQL> connect sys/oracle@db03 as sysdba Connected. SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGMNR_D.BUILD ('db03dict.ora','c:oracleLM'); BEGIN DBMS_LOGMNR_D.BUILD ('db03dict.ora','c:oracleLM'); END; * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06532: Subscript outside of limit ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGMNR_D", line 793 ORA-06512: at line 1
This time, you got a different error. So we are making progress! It sounds like your are using LogMiner on a system that has exceeded the expectations of the Oracle developers. But you can fix this.
First, locate the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmslmd.sql file. Copy it to a different file so that you can modify it. We'll call this file dbmslmd_new.sql. Find the line that looks like:
TYPE col_desc_array IS VARRAY(513) OF col_description;Increase the number '513' to a larger number, like '900'. Then, sign on to SQL*Plus as SYS and run this script that you saved. This will increase the size of this array so that you won't run into this problem.
