Question

I have created this query to retrieve specific results. but, it gives me this error. I have records since 1995. so, if I want to retrieve all the data. I get the following error.

ERROR at line 38:

I have tried to fix it, but with no results. anyways, the error line is 38 which is : TSDED,GEHA,ITEM. my oracle database is 8i

Answer 1

What version of Oracle are you running? If you are using a version below 8.1.6.3 you are probably hitting bug 1331849,

Description: Queries with a UNION ALL and more than one disk sort operation may fail with error ORA-600 [[5213]]

http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/9968/

In general ora-00600 is an internal error, usually this is related to some internal structure getting corrupted or a bug in the database.

To work around the issue the easiest way I think is probably to use a table (temporary or not); separately insert the row you need there avoiding the union all and query the table.

Answer 2

If we assume each query in the union works w/o error; then Maybe forcing the engine to materialize the results then sort using an inline view/subquery.
