Symptoms

Merge or insert statement fails with:

ORA-03137: TTC protocol internal error : [12333] [254] [64] [123] [] [] [] []

 
Also the merge/insert statement as such uses many bind variables as shown by the current sql in the trace file:

----- Current SQL Statement for this session (sql_id=...) -----
MERGE INTO <TABLE_NAME> (SELECT ....)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET <COLUMN1>=:2 ,<COLUMN2>=:3 ,<COLUMN3>=:4 , ...
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (<COLUMN1>, <COLUMN2>, <COLUMN3>, ...) VALUES (:49 ,:50 ,:51 , ...)


------Current SQL Statement for this session (sql_id=...) -----
INSERT INTO <TABLE_NAME>(<COLUMN1>,...<COLUMN21)) VALUES (:v1 ,:...:v19  ,:v20  ,:v21)

 

Note that the call stack of an ORA-3137 [12333] is rather generic and hardly useable to identify a specific issue.
