RE: Unexpected behavior if whenever oserror set

Yes, when you originally login "whenever os error" is false.

Richard,

Neither system, either the 9i or the 10g installation has a login.sql however there is glogin.sql in the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin directory of each server. That brings up the interesting question as to why

# sqlplus /

works but when connected a

SQL> connect <different user>

generates the error. I would expect that if the login.sql is not found I would get the same error when initially invoking sqlplus. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Sqlplus is looking for login.sql.

Subject: Unexpected behavior if whenever oserror set

Greetings,

I'm running 9.2.0.8.0 EE on RHEL4 64-bit. Setting whenever oserror exit generates the following behavior...

[oracle_at_critpinndev pinntest ~]$ sqlplus / SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production on Tue Dec 9 13:05:55 2008 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production

SQL> whenever oserror exit
SQL> connect oracle
Enter password:
O/S Message: No such file or directory
Disconnected from Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production

This does *not* fail on a 10.2.0.4.0 installation also running EE on RHEL4 64-bit and I don't know if this is due to a difference between 9i and 10g or something else. I suspect it is something else. One difference I find is that the environment variable OLDHOME is not set for the 9i server but setting it does not resolve the problem. I have checked the files in the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin directory and find no difference that I believe would make a difference, each contains a glogin.sql. I haven't been able to determine what the missing file is. Help resolving this would be appreciated.

Thanks.
