title: Are there limits to the number of tables that can be joined in Oracle?
body: <p>I'm writing a fairly large query, and I have 2 tables, inner joined and 15 tables left-outer joined. when I add the 16, I get <strong>ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel</strong>. If I remove a table to add the new one, the query works fine.</p>
  
  <p>The query runs fine for SQL Server, it's just Oracle that seems to be struggling.</p>
