I've had quite a week with HP/UX 9.x and Oracle Server 7.1.4 all right.

Has anyone else out there had real problems? In my case, we encountered a known Oracle bug which ended up corrupting the database. Wiping it clean and starting over was the only suggestion Tech Support had. It's been seven days now putting it all back together, encountering one after another bug (all showing up as internal errors, many having to to do with corrupt indexes, for whatever reason). Oracle says they're seen the index problems before, but have never been able to reproduce it. We've encountered it three or four times in the past week. The project is now delayed by over a week due to all of this excitement. Having the trace files sent to California is little help at this point.

Dropping and recreating the indexes on our tables takes about 12 hours on our I50 - there's about 3GB of data and indexes in total so far.

I just received 7.1.6.2.0 today, and am thinking that I should probably just put it in (as soon as the last table population process finishes - a 72 hour job which is half way).

Are other HP/UX users using 7.1.6 successfully? Received on Wed Jul 19 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
