Hi,

I'm trying to use OCIDescribeAny() to find out column names and data types
for a specific table. The problem is that a segmentation fault occurs ...

text objptr[] = "my_table_name";
ub4 objp_len = strlen( (char*) objptr);

OCIDescribeAny( servicehp, errorhp, objptr, objp_len, OCI_OTYPE_NAME, 1,

OCI_PTYPE_TABLE, descrhp);

(all the handles above (servicehp, errorhp, descrhp) are allocated))

If I replace OCI_PTYPE_TABLE against ..._TYPE the program does not crash but it's a table I'm interested in ...

BTW - are there any other ways to specify a table apart from using its name ? What is a TDO ?

Thanks in advance !
