Thanks for the info.
Out of curiosity, what version of Poolman and Oracle thin client are you using? We have a policy here that frowns upon using anything marked as beta on our production systems, and I'm wondering about the stability of the beta Poolman 2.1. Should I be using the older 2.0.4 version instead? -Mark Jason B Menard wrote: > We are using Poolman with the Oracle thin client.
