错误信息分析：

看到这个信息Heap size 2597K exceeds notification threshold (2048K)，查询资料和分析

1）确认数据库版本

SQL> select * from v$version;

BANNER
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    10.2.0.1.0      Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

 

2）确认隐含参数_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold值
SQL> SELECT A.KSPPINM NAME, B.KSPPSTVL VALUE, A.KSPPDESC DESCRIPTION
  2    FROM X$KSPPI A, X$KSPPCV B

错误原因：

参考MOS中的参考信息，关于这个问题Oracle的MOS中[ID 330239.1]文章有专门的描述，引用在此，供参考。
Memory Notification: Library Cache Object Loaded Into Sga [ID 330239.1]

Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
This problem can occur on any platform.
Oracle Server Enterprise Edition
.
Symptoms

The following messages are reported in alert.log after 10g Release 2 is installed.

        Memory Notification: Library Cache Object loaded into SGA
        Heap size 2294K exceeds notification threshold (2048K)
Changes

Installed / Upgraded to 10g Release 2
Cause

These are warning messages that should not cause the program responsible for these errors to fail.  They appear as a result of new event messaging mechanism and memory manager in 10g Release 2.

The meaning is that the process is just spending a lot of time in finding free memory extents during an allocate as the memory may be heavily fragmented.  Fragmentation in memory is impossible to eliminate completely, however, continued messages of large allocations in memory indicate there are tuning opportunities on the application.

The messages do not imply that an ORA-4031 is about to happen.
Solution

In 10g we have a new undocumented parameter that sets the KGL heap size warning threshold.   This parameter was not present in 10gR1.  Warnings are written if heap size exceeds this threshold.

Set  _kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold  to a reasonable high value or zero to prevent these warning messages. Value needs to be set in bytes.

If you want to set this to 8192 (8192 * 1024) and are using an spfile:

(logged in as "/ as sysdba")

SQL> alter system set "_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold"=8388608 scope=spfile ;

SQL> shutdown immediate SQL> startup

SQL> show parameter _kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold integer 8388608

If using an "old-style" init parameter,

Edit the init parameter file and add

_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold=8388608



NOTE:  The default threshold in 10.2.0.1 is 2M.   So these messages could show up frequently in some application environments.

In 10.2.0.2,  the threshold was increased to 50MB after regression tests, so this should be a reasonable and recommended value

 

解决办法：

既然知道了问题原因，处理起来就很简单了。如果不希望在alert文件中看到这些报错，可以适当调大隐含参数“_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold”的值，或将其设置为“0”。
1）将_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold参数大小调整为50M
sys@orcl> alter system set "_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold"=52428800 scope=spfile;

System altered.

2）重启数据库（慎重执行）
       由于我这里是数据库，因此可以选择合适时机重新启动，如果是生产库，必须慎重考虑。因此推荐一定要尽量升级到ORACLE 10.2.0.4,避免各种不可预知的BUG。
