We have just ported a server from Informix to Oracle. (No, it hasn't been fun). This is our first Oracle project. We have gotten the code through pro*c, linked, and ... it segv's in the first SQL statement (a connect of the form EXEC SQL CONNECT :username IDENTIFIED BY :password;)

The demo code that Oracle comes with does the same thing when we compile and run it. (sample9 in ...proc/demo). The system is solaris (on a sparc).

I assume we fumbled the install, but I
can't forgive any product that announces a problem with a SEGV. (I mean, if I want rude treatment, I can run Microsoft Windows). Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour? The segv occured in a memset (it got passed a NULL) deep in the bowels of the Oracle code (starting at sqlcex).

I have a call in to Oracle support, but I need an answer soon. Any pointers? Received on Fri Aug 19 1994 - 22:25:38 CEST
