Why am I getting the ORA-03113 error when trying to refresh a materialized view?

An Oracle user asks expert Brian Peasland why they are getting the ORA-03113 error when trying to refresh a materialized view completely.

Published: 01 Jul 2008

I got an ORA-03113 error and disconnected the session when I was trying to refresh a materialized view completely. No any other ORA- errors occurred with this in alert log and trace files.

This has occurred from the beginning of this month and this was worked successfully before. I checked all possible scenarios according to this issue and all are working fine. My database version is Oracle Enterprise Edition Rel. 9.2.0.1 - 32bit, which is running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. My source database version is Oracle Enterprise Edition Rel. 9.2.0.8 - 64bit, which is running on HP-UX 11.11. Please help me overcome this problem.

Unfortunately, ORA-3113 errors only tell you that your session was disconnected from the database. It does not tell you why the session was disconnected. For that, you'd have to set up a network trace and have the trace files analyzed by Oracle Support. I suggest you work with Oracle Support issues as most people, even long-time Oracle experts, can have difficulty diagnosing network traces.

ORA-0942 error with embedded views I am running into one of those ORA-0942 errors when I create a VIEW with embedded views. The SELECT by itself has no problems, but when I create a VIEW based on this SELECT, the view gets created, but when I do a SELECT on this view, I get ORA-0942.

Setting events to avoid "snapshot too old" errors In order to identify offending statements in "ORA-1555: snapshot too old" errors, can you please let me know how to set events? I have seen in Oracle forums to set "alter session set events = '1555 trace name errorstack level 1'." But this was for Oracle 8.1.7. Our database is version 9.2.0.6.0. Is this event valid for version 9.2.0.6.0. as well?
