I've disabled the autoupdate feature because there's an XP patch which (in combination with XP SP1) slows some application startup times to a crawl. Not sure if this is still a problem or if XP also autodownloads a fix for this issue. Cheers, Mike Hately -Original Message- Sent: 03 De

Agreed - It's like the case where I had a wonderful (pure SQL) workaround to a deficiency in partitioned tables in 8.0.5; and Oracle decided it was a bug, and fixed it in 8.0.6. How do explain that the database is now running 120 times more slowly because it's working properly ? Regards Jo

Yes, 40 MB so far. But it is quite subtle about it, and it only happens in my 'think time' whilst I'm online. Be prepared - the OEM 4.0 demo at IOUG said that OEM would call Oracle for you with an ORA-00600 trace, get the analysis done, download the (probable) patch, and install it for you auto

Yep, could be the firewall, if the site gives "not found" error. Another thing that you might hit is that Metalink requires cookies to be enabled, maybe in XP's internet explorer they're disabled by default. Tanel. > Firewall seems like the most likely culprit. > > Rich > > Rich Jesse
