These things sometimes happen. On the oracle-l, there is a thread in 
progress about a generated SQL with 130,000 lines which fails parsing 
because parsing exhausts the available memory. In such cases, I am less 
inclined to look for a fault with the database software and more 
inclined to inflict an unusual and cruel punishment on whoever has 
designed the data model.
