Goal

This article describes how to use DBMS_SQLDIAG to find workarounds for issues where a query causes a session to crash or raise a critical error.
The article is specifically designed to address ora-7445 errors but can be easily modified to deal with other issue types.

For other ways of using DBMS_SQLDIAG see:

<Document 1509192.1> How To Use DBMS_SQLDIAG To Diagnose Various Query Issues

This article is not intended to describe how to implement workarounds using the 'SQL Patch' functionality. It is intended to provide potential workaround for critical errors like an ORA-7445 error.
For details of how to apply 'SQL Patch' refer to the DBMS_SQLDIAG.ACCEPT_SQL_PATCH procedure. See:
