Well, while I'm at it:
I have a serious program with a Pro*C program that is to connect to the
database, and then fork via the unix system call.
Does anybody know what _exactly_ will happen, especially if one of the
processes terminates while the other one is to keep on running?
I have experienced the strangest effects, like pipes misteriously
refilling themselves, even if they have been emptied _before_ the fork,
and other strangenesses...
Well, here's a problem to earn you the title "Oracle Guru"... ;)
Thanks,
