Oracle says this is intended behavior for desc function just more rigorously enforced in later versions. I am still skeptical as desc works in 8.1.6
svrmgrl. Perhaps enforced in sqlplus but not svrmgr...too many inconsistencies.

Thanks
Rick

Rick -

Are all of the sqlnet.ora files resolving hostnames in the same order i.e., NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES, TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME)? I'd also check for a rogue tnsnames.ora file in the same path as the executable.

Hi DBAs,

Oracle Server 8.1.6 Win 2000 Oracle Names

I have the following Oracle clients installed locally. I connect to the server using the same USER. When I describe a package and procedure with package I get different results depending on
the client.

Any ideas what is going on here

8.0.5

 desc pkg_charts                     WORKS
   desc pkg_charts.select_affiliates        WORKS
8.1.6
 desc pkg_charts                     WORKS
   desc pkg_charts.select_affiliates        ORA-04043: object

pkg_charts.select_affiliates does not exist

8.1.7

 desc pkg_charts                     WORKS
   desc pkg_charts.select_affiliates        ORA-04043: object

pkg_charts.select_affiliates does not exist

Thanks
Rick
