Oracle DB Error ORA-01220 file based sort illegal before database is open

The following is the cause of this error:

A query issued against a fixed table or view required a tempOracle DB Error ORAry segment for sorting before the database was open. Only in-memory sorts are supported before the database is open.

Action you can take to resolve this issue: Re-phrase the query to avoid a large sort, increase the values of the SORT_AREA_SIZE and/or SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE initialization parameters to enable the sort to be done in memory.
