Re: OCI and multithreading problem on Linux

The cause is a bug in your software. The solution is to fix it. Sorry, but without more of a problem description, you're not going to get much more help than that. The Oracle libs are capable of handling load therefore you need to find out what your program is doing when it crashes. You've probably got a memory overwrite somewhere.
