Dennis, I have been plagued by a similar problem and have a fix if it fits. Check the statements where the 3113 is coming from. Are they going to a remote database? And if so, are the tables on the remote database analyzed while the local tables are not? Then the fix is to delete the statistics on the remote database. I believe it to be a bug in 8.1.6.
Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Author: DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2/6/2003 1:18 PM I have a developer that wrote a VB program using ADO, connecting to Oracle 8.1.6 on a Compaq Tru64 server. One program of his runs for hours each night, and sometimes receives an ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel. Not consistently, just sporadically, and at varying amounts of time. I have been unable to find anything in the server logs. We have traced the program and the error occurs during different SQL statements. Followed most of the tips I've located on solving ORA-03113 errors. I am coming to the conclusion that maybe the only solution will be to upgrade Oracle and hope that solves the problem. Unfortunately we can only upgrade to Oracle 8.1.7.4. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.
