Larry, et. al.,

I'm running 8.1.7.1.1 on Win 2K Pro SP2. I did the following:

alter session set cursor_sharing=force;

select 'x' from dual;
select 'X' from dual;
select ' x' from dual;
select ' X' from dual;
select 'x ' from dual;
select ' x ' from dual;
select ' X ' from dual;

No problems with any of 'em.

'x

x

sql> alter session set cursor_sharing = force; <<<< change to
force

session altered.

sql> select 'x ' from dual; <<<< still works but it wasn't hard
parsed.

'x
--
x

sql> Select 'x ' from dual; <<<< force a hard parse by changing
lower case s
to upper case
select 'x ' from dual
                    *
error at line 1:
ora-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17182], [366030328],
[], [], [],
[], [], []

so, it looks like the problem is with just cursor sharing itself
(though it
could still be a mix of parameters -- and i'm not going to try
every
combination!!!).

thanks for the help. i don't know anything else you can do. i
wrapped up the
contract with the client yesterday after taking care of the major
issues i
was brought in to resolve. they can handle this issue and some
other minor
ones. since i *am* curious, i will probably give their dba a
call in a week
or two to see if they and/or oracle solved this with the latest
version and
patches for 8.1.7. and maybe someone on the list will be able
to test
against and up to date 8.1.7 on win2k

regards,

larry g. elkins
