Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: To set events or not set events, that is the question
Niall,
There's a bug(3124081)in 9 that can cause dumps and abends when you get an error that doesn't refer to any text like 1017 etc.
I opened a TAR for 9.2.0.4 and Oracle responded with
15-JUN-04 16:45:32 GMT
The bug was updated with information that a backport request was filed
against it. The backport request that was filed for both 9.2.0.4 and 9.2.0.5 was approved for 9.2.0.5. An approval was made for 9.2.0.5. However, a new backport exception request will have to be filed for 9.2.0.4. I will keepyou posted on progress
Until we get backport our workaround was to use an IN list like: if dbms_standard.server_error(1) in

if you wanted you could contact support, reference bug 3124081 which is
fixed in 10g and request a backport. At that point in time, the
ora_sql_txt function will return a "numeric/value error" (something you
can catch)

It also has the advantage that you can change what events you monitor, or enable/disable monitoring without bouncing the database. I have an example set of scripts on my site (utility for trapping arbitrary server errors or some such wording) . Naturally since I wrote the script we haven't had a single 1652 (which we were looking for) but you'll get the idea. -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA http://www.niall.litchfield.dial.pipex.com P.S.
