在使用Oracle数据库的过程中，可能会遇到各种各样的错误或异常，很多异常的提示并不具体，我们有必要了解一下Oracle的ErrorStack跟踪方式。
ErrorStack是Oracle提供的一种对于错误堆栈进行跟踪的方法，通过设置跟踪可以将一些错误的后台信息详尽地转储出来，写入跟踪文件，对于错误的研究与诊断非常有效。
设置ErrorStack主要有4个级别：0 - 仅转储错误堆栈(0级已经被逐渐废弃)
1-转储错误堆栈和函数调用堆栈
2-Level1 + ProcessState
3-Level2 + Context area(显示所有cursors，着重显示当前cursor)
ErrorStack可以在实例级或会话级别设置，也可以在参数文件中设置，这个设置仅当某个特定的错误出现时才被触发，如设置ORA-00942事件的跟踪：
alter session set events '942 trace name errorstack level 1';
一个客户曾经出现如下ORA-01438错误，提示数据的精度超过允许值，是后台JOB调度的任务：
Mon Jul 13 10:27:312009
Errors in file /admin/erpdb/bdump/erpdb1_j000_447020.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 22
ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column
ORA-06512: at 'ERP.TIMRDU', line 13
ORA-06512: at line 1
跟踪文件中默认的不会记录具体的SQL、绑定变量等信息，我们可以通过ErrorStack进行后台跟踪，获得更详细的信息，执行如下代码中的SQL：
alter system set events='1438 trace name errorstack forever,level 3';
然后可以手工执行出错的存储过程(代码如下)，获得跟踪文件，再关闭跟踪：
alter system set events='1438 trace name errorstack off';
在Oracle 10g中，这样的操作会被记录到日志文件中：
Mon Jul 13 10:48:392009
OS Pid: 541528 executed alter system set events '1438 trace name Errorstack forever,level 3'
Mon Jul 13 10:56:06 2009
Errors in file /admin/erpdb/udump/erpdb1_ora_267056.trc:
ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column
Mon Jul 13 10:56:08 2009
Trace dumping is performing id=[cdmp_20090713105608]
Mon Jul 13 10:57:15 2009
OS Pid: 541528 executed alter system set events '1438 trace name Errorstack off'
接下来分析获得的跟踪文件，就可以获得SQL文本线索，找到根本问题。在这个案例中，我们得到的跟踪文件，其关键SQL内容如下，通过这个SQL对照数据表很快就找到了精度超过的Number型字段：
***SESSION ID:(857.16304) 2009-07-13 10:56:06.429
*** 2009-07-13 10:56:06.429

ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column
Current SQL statement for this session:

7000002ca367df0 5 procedure ERP.TIMRDU
700000342eb7c20 1 anonymous block
在跟踪文件中，还有大量的堆栈信息，对于复杂的问题，还可以通过进一步细致的堆栈分析进行深入追踪。
可以很容易地测试这一功能的使用，比如使用如下代码中的测试过程：
SQL> alter system set events='1438 trace name errorstack forever,level 3';
SQL> connect eygle/eygle
SQL> create table t (name varchar2(10),id number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values(a,1);
insert into t values(a,1)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00984: column not allowed here
SQL> alter system set events '984 trace name errorstack off';
在告警日志文件中就可以获得如下信息：
Mon Jul 13 22:55:592009
OS Pid: 2431 executed alter system set events '984 trace name ERRORSTACK level3'
Mon Jul 13 22:59:12 2009
Errors in file /opt/oracle/admin/mmstest/udump/mmstest_ora_2520.trc:
ORA-00984: column not allowed here
Mon Jul 13 23:01:01 2009
OS Pid: 2431 executed alter system set events '984 trace name errorstack off'
获得的跟踪文件里记录了insert的相关信息：
*** 2009-07-13 22:59:12.928
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-00984: column not allowed here

以下引用在ITPUB上的一个讨论，是使用ErrorStack跟踪解决问题的典型案例(原文链接指向ITPUB)：
问题概述
在进行数据库例行维护时，遇到数据库正常导出，但导入时遇到有张表不能导入的问题。这张表存储工艺路线，大约共有160万条记录。表的不能导入影响一部分功能的实现，各单位反映强烈。
初步分析
首先排除是系统bug所带来的问题，因为前期导入导出未发现问题；另外由于是对同一数据库进行的导入导出，也排除了字符集问题。
单独再次导入此表，出现错误如下；[oracle@zhx25 ~]$ imp system/ceshi fromuser=dba_mgr touser=dba_mgr tables=t_routdef ignore=y file=1.dmp

IMP-00058: ORACLE error 1438 encountered
ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column
IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 20501 rows rolled back
解决方向：有可能是数据中存在问题，很有可能是输入一些特殊字符，这些字符和ORACLE自身使用的通配符一致，所以导致系统不能识别。
问题解决
1、对问题进行跟踪
对系统设置1438 errorstack跟踪：SQL> alter system set events='1438 trace name Errorstack forever,level 10';
System altered
然后重新执行IMP；
2、查看UDUMP下日志,如下:/opt/oracle/admin/orcl/udump/orcl_ora_32355.trc

…………
从跟踪文件可以看到，问题是系统认为地址为2A974CDE88的数值非法，在导入会提示ORA-1438错误。本值在数据库中定义为number(8)类型，但从结果来看，系统把这个值当成了number(24)类型，并且由于格式不对，不能取出值。
3、找到DMP中相关数据
用winhex打开dmp文件，搜索十六进制串“2E313133 02C10604 C8C6BBC9 014D0252 48023130 0433F3FF”(对trace文件中的值要进行顺序调整)
4、对导出数据进行更改
由于“2E313133 02C10604 C8C6BBC9 014D0252 48023130 0433F3FF”不是一个有效的number类型，需要对它进行调整。调整如下，只要确保调整的值是number类型的即可。
5、对数据库相关数据项的类型进行调整
把数据项的类型由number(*)改为number(38)；
6、重新进行数据导入[oracle@zhx25 ~]$ imp system/ceshi fromuser=dba_mgr touser=dba_mgr tables=t_routdef ignore=y file=1.dmp
