This drives my users nuts also. My understanding is that the problem is SQL*Net at some version past 2. I've also been told that it is non-blocking at SQL*Net 2.2.
BTW, in NT only the specific program that is accessing Oracle is frozen. The rest of the system is fine. Received on Wed Feb 21 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
