Re: ?des2000 1.3.0: view reengineering problem, nt4/win95/nt3.51

Rupert,

You said in your message that you are running D/2000 1.3.2 with Oracle 7.3.2. If you are running Oracle 7.3.2.2, Oracle will not support you! (I have spent a few hours on the phone with them in the last week or so on this!) They support 7.3.2.1 and 7.3.2.3, but not 7.3.2.2.

I recently installed D/2000 1.3.2 with Oracle 7.3.2.2 and have had alot of 'unexplained' problems. Of course, Oracle says the only way to correct the 'problems' is to 'patch up' to 7.3.2.3 on our DB server.

Don't know if this is your problem, but it could have something to do with it.

IMHO - It is a very weak excuse for Oracle to say they won't even support on of their own database releases!! Sometimes I think Oracle needs to wake up and smell the coffee. They act like it is a small chore to install a new version of a database! We are in the middle of critical system testing, so we cannot just apply their latest patch, because it might adversely affect our system test results. There....I'm done venting)

Has anyone else had probs with D/2000 and Oracle 7.3.2.2? I would be curious to know.

Thanks
