# Error

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [7005], [0], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
Incident details in: /oracle/diag/rdbms/mydb/mydb_1/incident/incdir_195818/mydb_1_ora_972_i195818.trc

#Cause
The query causing this error uses a CONTAINS clause on alphanumerical column using bind variables. This is a perfect match with note ORA-0600 [7005] on a Select Query Using Contains Clause (Doc ID 1176276.1), referencing the unpublished Bug 8770557 ORA-600 [7005] While Running Text Queries.
The symptoms includes this two key factors:
– presence of CONTAINS clause
– use of bind variables

# Solution
Apply 11.2.0.2 patchset or higher, where this issue is fixed or Apply one off Patch 8770557 if available for your version / platform.

See ya!
