Hi Again, Some time ago I founded a problem using the Thin connection from Java to access to Oracle (8.0.5i) this problem is solved, thankyou for your contributions! Now I want to share this solution with you: this is a Oracle8i bug that can be resolved with a patch lnxpatch.tgz you found this at http://technet.us.oracle.com/tech/linux/support/ Use tar -xvzf lnxpatch.tgz in other directory than oracle8i and run the script lnxpatch.sh it works with the ORACLE_HOME, good luck. A nice day to every body.
