Dennis: I have had some experience with developers using ADO. First, are they using ODBC or OLE for the database connectivity between ADO and the database. If they are using ODBC, determine if it is Microsoft 's or Oracle's ODBC. The version of Microsoft's ODBC the developers were using did not support all the Oracle8i features, like password management and ORA-28000 series error messages. If they are not using Oracle's brand of OLE or ODBC, try switching to it and see what happens.
RWB DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@fatcity.com on 02/06/2003 03:18:37 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: I have a developer that wrote a VB program using ADO, connecting to Oracle 8.1.6 on a Compaq Tru64 server. One program of his runs for hours each night, and sometimes receives an ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel. Not consistently, just sporadically, and at varying amounts of time. I have been unable to find anything in the server logs. We have traced the program and the error occurs during different SQL statements. Followed most of the tips I've located on solving ORA-03113 errors. I am coming to the conclusion that maybe the only solution will be to upgrade Oracle and hope that solves the problem. Unfortunately we can only upgrade to Oracle 8.1.7.4. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.
