I found that query-only applications seemed to run OK against 8.x.x databases,
but update applications encountered locking problems because of the expanded rowid.
(I think Forms 3.0 stores the rowids within the form and only stores part of the
expanded rowid).
I don't know how you could possibly run Forms 3.0 update applications against 8.x.x
or 9.x.x, but then again I am all converted from Forms 3.0 at this point and don't need to worry about it any more.

Hi Kurth

This is from Johannes that is not on the oracle-l mailing list.

I have no knowlegde about patch 380665 but I have a happy customer running Forms 3.0 (version Version 3.0.16.12 from the Oracle 7.2.3 installation CD) in an Oracle 7.2.3 home on Sun Solaris (SunOS 5.7), with TWO_TASK set to point at an Oracle 9i instance on another server.

So it can work for sure!

I would imagine that there could be problems with the installation and execution of Forms 3.0 on some newer operating systems.

I tried for years to find a patch that would allow Forms 3.0 to work with Oracle8.x.x. I think there is a path for NT, but none for Unix.

Time to bite the bullet and upgrade to Forms 4.5 or higher.

Hello guys,

I am trying to figure out the mystery of Patch 380665, which allows Forms 3.0 to be used with Oracle 8.1.7

I have a few questions

Does this patch exist or is it just a myth?
Is this a Database patch or Forms patch?
How to get this patch?

I would really appreciate if any of ull have travelled this path of trying to make Forms 3.0 work with Oracle 8i.

Thanks
Mandar
