ORA-12899: value too large for column "DB"."PLAN_TABLE"."OPTIONS" (actual: 35, maximum: 30)

Hi All,

I am getting the following exception while trying to generate  explain plan

SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

ORA-12899: value too large for column "DB"."PLAN_TABLE"."OPTIONS" (actual: 35, maximum: 30)

00604. 00000 -  "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"

*Cause:    An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement

           (a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).

*Action:   If the situation described in the next error on the stack

           can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.
