I encounter a weird problem of ORA-03135: connection lost contact:

My RDBMS is Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6 on a 64-bit windows 2003 SBS standard version. The server is remotely administered via Checkpoint VPN and RDP. My desktop is winXP 32-bit SP3.

Create table testX (abstracts_id number primary key, testX clob, testS nvarchar2(2000));

From my desktop:
SQL> insert into testX (abstracts_id, testS) values (1,'Conexions');
insert into testX (abstracts_id, testS) values (1, 'Conexions')
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
Process ID: 3364
Session ID: 101 Serial number: 20286

The same insert statement succeeds if I run it on the server locally.

If the inserted string doesn't contain the word "Conexion", then there is no problem.

SQL> insert into testX (abstracts_id, testS) values (11,'Conecxions');

1 row created.


Furthermore, if the clob column (testX) contains the magic word "Conexion", a select statement will fail.

From my desktop:

SQL> select testX from testX;
ERROR:
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
Process ID: 4016
Session ID: 96 Serial number: 22190

If run it from the server locally,

SQL> select testX from testX;

TESTX
------------------------------------------

Conexion

I tried the same situation against my old server (9i on windows2000 enterprise server), there was no problem whatever.

ORA-03135: connection lost contact
 *Cause:  1) Server unexpectedly terminated or was forced to terminate.
          2) Server timed out the connection.
 *Action: 1) Check if the server session was terminated.
          2) Check if the timeout parameters are set properly in sqlnet.ora.

thanks for your "googled" answer.

I wish to know why it only happened to the magic word "Conexion" and how to debug it. Please be specific.

Well, what use would specific things be if you don't even check the standard things mentioned in the Oracle error description.

You also never mentioned your client version.

Yes, what you describe is unusual.
However, 1 data point does not make a line.
Does any other string generate the error? Provide proof.
Does the error occur on any other client system? Provide proof.

Yes or no. Depends on whether the string inserted contains "Conexion" or not.

My coworker got the same result from his Vista laptop. Sorry no photo to show you.

Is that the client or server SQLNET.ORA?

If it's the server one we still don't know the client version. And even if it's the client one we still don't know the client version down to 4 decimals.

Also, "SQLNET.ORA details" means INCLUDING the configured TNSNAMES.

The easiest thing would probably be for you to post a COMPLETE SQL*Plus command line session, so that we see the client AND server banners.

So you have a SQLNET.ORA in D:\oracle\product

And an sqlplus in C:\app\oracle\product

Which is the client and which is the server?

The sqlnet.ora I gave before is a server side one.

The sqlplus is in C:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\BIN folder on my desktop.

sorry, guys, I did another test against my old Oracle9i server. The same insertion problem happened.

Then I run the insert statement on the backend. It succeeded.
So I run a Select statement on my desktop.

The difference between 9i and 11g backends is that the Select statement doesn't work against the 11g backend.

So, I guess there is something weird happening in my VPN connection, which is beyond the scope of this forum. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help.

Ah, OK. then it's definitely a network problem. The versions you have should work. Until now I was suspecting a X64 bug that some specific versions have, but when it also happens with the 9.X connection that can't be it.

While it might be beyond the scope of the forum here, I once had a similar problem with a WLAN. There it was a problem with at too big MTU that fragmented the packages.
