部分精选-频发：故障排除之又见 ORA-4031  作者：候静远

---

当遇到ORA-4031错误时，你会不会内心一紧。Oracle进程在向SGA申请内存时，如果申请失败，则会抛出这个错误，大部分情况下是在向SGA中的 shared pool申请内存时失败。严重情况下，可能导致数据库出现异常崩溃。本文分享客户近期碰到的一起由于ORA-4031问题导致数据库异常宕机的案例，供大家参考。

问题描述

2019年9月4日凌晨3点左右，接到监控系统告警：数据库出现异常，无法连接。登陆到数据库1节点查看后台alert日志发现有大量ORA-04031报错，2节点有少量报错。为了尽快恢复业务，尝试直接重启1节点数据库，重启完成之后恢复正常。

统计1节点每个子池及duration出现04031的次数，sga heap(n,0)-n代表第几个子池，0代表是第几个duration：

根据alert日志可以看出，所有的ora-4031都发生在shared pool子池的第0个duration上。

Summary of resize operations history:

shared pool            start   3.19 GB  now   3.19 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

large pool             start   0.50 GB  now   0.50 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

java pool              start   0.50 GB  now   0.50 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

SGA Target             start  32.00 GB  now  32.00 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

DEFAULT buffer cache   start  27.59 GB  now  27.59 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

PGA Target             start  11.00 GB  now  11.00 GB  0 grows   0 shrinks

发现shared pool并没有进行resize。

统计2节点每个子池及duration出现04031的次数：

根据alert日志可以看出，所有的ora-4031同样都发生在shared pool子池的第0个duration上，导致4031的根本原因是因为shared pool子池的第0个duration内存不足。

通过设置sga_target的ASMM管理后，共享池(shared_pool)和流池(streams pool)每个子池都是4个duration。它们分别是：instance，session，cursor，execution，只有第四个duration，也就是execution是可以resize的，而当第0个duration内存不足的时候不能resize，就直接会报错ora-4031。

问题解决

通过禁用duration，必须设置参数"_enable_shared_pool_durations=fales"，并重启数据库。

alter system set "_enable_shared_pool_durations"=false scope=spfile;

通过该参数设置后，把它们四个duration都合并到一个池中，不会再出现一个duration的内存被耗尽，而另外一个duration仍具有空闲内存，对于共享池和流池都是这样；设置sga_target之后，所有池都会通过buffer cache来传输granules（颗粒）整数倍大小的内存，如果shrink，则返回buffer cache，没有从一个pool到另外一个pool的直接传输，所有的内存resize都会以buffer cache作为源和目标。

设置该参数的唯一负面影响是SGA resize的时候，不能从shared pool中取内存到其他的pool。
