Hello dear Developers

we still try to convert a product from ORACLE 7.3 and BDE 4.51 to
ORACLE 8.04 and BDE 5.0 but:

a) we cannot read a LONG VARCHAR anymore if it's longer than
2000 bytes and the RequestLive of a Query is set to False

b) the program crashes (BDE is hanging) if the a ORA-Error occurs.

Is there any help?

Regards

Günther

I am using BDE 5 O8 driver with Net8 8.0.4 and am also experiencing a few
problems (for example, with large TMemoFields), but the BDE never "hangs" on
an Oracle exception. Do you have more details? If you are in the IDE and
try Run | Program Pause, does it stop anywhere useful (make sure you have DB
and DBTables source linked in)? What does SQL Monitor show?

I hear rumors that some BDE 5 O8 problems will be fixed in an upcoming D4
inline (Ramesh?).

Hello Russell

Now we have more information about the exact cause of the "hanging" problem.
We expect that the BDE hangs because of a "Param" problem.

Delphi tries to deleting a record using Params (as shown in the
SQL-Monitor-Log below).
The same problem can be reproduces by using the SQL-Explorer:
Select Sheet <Data> of the Table then select a record and press CRTL - DEL)


Enviroment:

- Oracle: 8.0.4
- Dll32: SqlOra8.DLL
- Vendor init : OCI.DLL
- BDE5: newest 5.0 patch
- Delphi: 3.02

Does your table have a primary key? I usually don't see ROWID used as part
of the WHERE clause in the update. Suggestion: Build up a duplicate table
one column at a time and see which parameter is causing the problem.

In case you haven't already considered this, the documentation for ORA-03113
includes the following note:

"If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error
is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the
server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle
internal error that requires the assistance of customer support."

we have the following SQL running and the constraint is there

ALTER TABLE OKGR.ProdUserGroups
ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (ProdUserGroupID) ) ;

>Suggestion: Build up a duplicate table

It's only occuring with Delphi's internal Params.
.. where Name=:Name ...

If we fire the same statement manually form the SQLExporer
.. where Name='Scott' ...
it's ok.

I have appended the trace into a privat mail to you but it does not tell to
much
