Hi Lars/Spencer, Not sure if your problem is just confined to Mapbasic.
I'm doing some development is C#.net and Oracle 8.1 and experienced similar problems with Oracle's tools - namely Oracle DBA Studio and SQLplus Worksheet. It will happen intermittently but the effect is the same - the Oracle tools just freeze! Only solution is the three finger solute, end task, restart your tools. You could always try third party Oracle DBA tools, I've recently downloaded TOAD, you can do just about everything in there that Oracle's native tools allow you to do. http://www.toadsoft.com/ The trial download is about 2MB. Have fun! Peter Zyczynski -----Original Message----- From: Lars V.

Hi all, Being an MS/SQL kinda guy, being thrust onto Oracle 9i is a really scary experience. It's not really a GUI based environment even nowadays. But the customer REALLY insisted so I've braced myself, and is currently doing some development on Oracle 9i (not Spatial) with MapBasic. I'm running both the Oracle server and the MapInfo/MapBasic development on a single W2K server machine. -------------------------- The problem is that whenever I use one of the (limited) GUI tools, Enterprise Manager Console or SQLPlus worksheet, MapBasic hangs indefinitely when trying to do a compile. Or at least it does until I close the afore mentioned tools ! I.e., I have to switch opening and closing the Oracle GUI tools when developing my MB app, an irritation I don't need to have added onto my "normal" development frustrations. Having MapBasic open all the time is possble, but it still hangs when trying to do a compile. Has anyone run into this kind of problem before ? And if so, is there some way to remedy this problem ?? I really hope there are some Oracle wiz's out there that can help. -------------------------- Ps! And just to add to my Oracle grievances: to have the Oracle server start normally, I have to disconnect the network cable. After it's started I can reconnect the cable and everything runs ok. Strange huh ? Pps! I'm seriously considering developing everything on MS/SQL, and port it to Oracle at the very last minute. But I guess I better not do that ..... ;-) Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
