While porting from Oracle 8.1.7 to 9.0.1 (both Windows) I found a fatal bug in

EXEC SQL DESCRIBE BIND VARIABLES FOR S INTO bind_dp;

Oracle9 returns everytime bind_dp->F=0. Oracle 8 works.

You can simply test it by running the original sample10.pc in your Oracle8/9-directory precomp/demo/proc/sample10. Oracle9-sample10 returns ORA-24374 because of the wrong DESCRIBE before.

Do you have an idea for a workaround or solution? Received on Wed Aug 21 2002 - 07:49:15 CDT
