.plz dump file

What are those .plz dump files in my user dump directory ?

-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 15168 Oct 6 14:34 _anon__3ca8c5e38__AB.plz
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 15883 Oct 6 14:45 db01_ora_10061.trc
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 15168 Oct 6 14:45 _anon__3c929b088__AB.plz
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 15895 Oct 6 14:47 db01_ora_10666.trc
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 15168 Oct 6 14:47 _anon__3c8651198__AB.plz

let’s check one, briefly :

*** ASSERT at file pdw4.c, line 2080; Type 0xffffffff7d79fb40 has no MAP method.
Source Location = _anon__3d2474b28__AB[1, 7]

== Dump of OPT Context Object ffffffff7c519ec8. ==
Tue Oct 6 16:31:11 2009
Event 10944 = 0
plsp = ffffffff7fff67a8
lu = 3c9c18210
Diana root = 0x20014 = 131092
Diana proc = 0x20012 = 131090
Graph = ffffffff7d774d70
Dump file = /app/oracle/admin/DB01/udump/_anon__3d2474b28__AB.plz
CG = 0
...

It is a kind of dump file, apparently. I could not find details on metalink. I generate the one above in 10.2.0.4 sparc with the following code

create or replace type t1 as object (x number)
/
create or replace type t2 as table of t1
/
exec if t1(1)member of t2()then null;end if

BEGIN if t1(1)member of t2()then null;end if; END;
Error at line 10
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00801: internal error [*** ASSERT at file pdw4.c, line 2080; Type 0xffffffff7d7ba280 has no MAP method.; _anon__3c929b088__AB[1, 7]]

    Google’s results (as I’m sure you’ve seen) remind me of Bing advertisements… all full of slang for “please”. :-\

    Laurent, I do not know that the plz files are but the problem is caused by a bug fixed in 11g. Metalink note 942196.1.

    SQL> create or replace type t1 as object (x number, map member function m1 return number);
    2 /

    Type created.

    SQL> create or replace type t2 as table of t1
    2 /

    Type created.

    SQL> exec if t1(1)member of t2()then null;end if
