Dennis, Ask Anjo about his Magic utility. Using that utility one has to set an environment variable on the client which would tune and avoid extra parse sql before they are sent to Oracle. Infact Cary mentions about this in his emails.
btw we use delphi 3rd party ODAC component instead of ADO/BDE which avoids extra parse. > -----Original Message----- > From: DENNIS WILLIAMS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 10:54 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Oracle trace file question > > > Hello all > I am trying to debug a mysterious sporadic error that a > Visual Basic > program using ADO is hitting.
