PL/SQL Compilation Hangs When PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL Is 2 (Doc ID 2289596.1)

Last updated on FEBRUARY 03, 2022

Applies to:

PL/SQL - Version 11.2.0.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

1) Compilation of a PL/SQL unit is hanging with PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL=2 (which is default value) but compiles fine when PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL is 0,1 or 3.

2) Attaching the process ID of the Oracle shadow process that corresponds to the hanging session, to the OS debugging tools like gdb,dbx etc shows various call stacks.
