Symptoms

A complex query with a JOIN for multiple tables fails with an ORA-600[qesmmCChgWAReq2] error.

 

The Call Stack Trace in the associated incident trace file shows:

 

-  Changing the query to use UNION instead of JOIN does not generate the error.

-  Each session that raises the error has this in common:

     session cursor with flag FETCH=1;

   This means that the query is blocked on retrieving data from an INDEX.

-  Analyzing the tables to check for table/index mismatches and/or corruptions (i.e. analyze table ... validate structure cascade;) doesn't raise any error, but hangs.

-  Rebuilding online the indexes of the tables involved does not resolve the problem.
