Okay, I'll preface this by saying we did find a work around but this was strange and I wondered if any of you had run into this.
Background: two 8.1.6.0 databases, one is Solaris 2.8 32 bit and the other is Solaris 2.6 the local database is on the 2.8 machine, call it users the remote database is on the 2.6 machine, call it compdata Public database link from users to compdata private synonym events for events@compdata in the users database. log into sqlplus, select * from events where id=# works fine via the java program & jdbc 1.1, select * from events where id=# returns the first row you selected, no matter what id you subsequently give it. So id=4 as the first selected means that whatever id you now give it, it will return the data from id 4. drop the public synonym, create a copy of the events table on users. sqlplus AND the program run fine go back to the synonym across the link and the program blows up, sqlplus is fine (at least it's consistent) change the program code to select * from events@compdata and the program is fine so something is wrong not with the database, but with java settings, or jdbc drivers (1.1) or ????? All other accesses with other links between the two databases are fine. The only other thing we could think of was that that program runs on an app server with an older version of WebSphere. Any ideas on what would cause this? As I said, we have a work around (hard-code the link) but I'd like not to have to do that Rachel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
