Re: OCI and C++ Exceptions

Actually, I have seen some sort of exception when initially connecting to the Oracle database
when using OCI via OTL under NT 4.0/MFC C++ 5.0. It is interesting because the problem occurs with the first connection to the database under the debugger. If the try-catch block excludes the first connection, everything is OK. In addition, with the MFC C++, when the exception is generated and you suggest ignoring it and continuing, everything is OK.

I have never bothered to track down the problem other than it is in the OCI code somewhere.
