Error description

[oracle@exdbadm01 ~]$ oerr ora 30009
30009, 0000, "Not enough memory for %s operation"
// *Cause: The memory size was not sufficient to process all the levels of the
//         hierarchy specified by the query.
// *Action: In WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY=AUTO mode, set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to
//          a reasonably larger value.
//          Or, in WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY=MANUAL mode, set SORT_AREA_SIZE to a
//          reasonably larger value.

Action:

Split the connect by operation into multiple chunks or increase PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET
