Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: SQL*PLUS 8.0 returns LESS rows from Oracle 7.3.3, WHY??
The fetching error (less number of rows against a 7.x database) is a sqlplus problem that is fixed with 8.0.4. The workaround right now for you is to set the arraysize to 1.
SQL> set arraysize 1
You will find that plus 8.0.3 against against 7.x will return a multiple of the array fetch rows. It doesn't display the rows from the last array fetch. So if you have a table with 16 rows and arraysize is 10, you'll get 10 rows. If your arraysize was 5, you'll get 15 rows. Setting arraysize to 1 will get all of them.
The desc is likewise fixed in 8.0.4. The temporary workaround is to use svrmgr30.exe. It can describe the table successfully.
