The latest, and only maintained, version of the Oracle driver is nsoracle in SourceForge AOLserver CVS. Hm, version 2.6 of the Oracle driver is actually VERY old, at least a year, and probably much older than that - see below. You should try the nsoracle head, and if the problem still exists there, post a patch on SourceFore against it. Also, if your patch only works with 9i then you need to #ifdef things so the driver will build and work correctly for both 8i and 9i. If the latest nsoracle really does have major memory leaks and your patch fixes them, your patch is going to be very popular as soon as more OpenACS users start switching from 8.1.7 (due to be completely desuported any month now) to 9i. (Or soon even 10g for that matter!) OpenACS 5.0 is supposed to support both 8i and 9i, but so far I think mostly only the people actually working on OpenACS 9i support have been running OpenACS with 9i. Once 5.0 is released you will probalby see many more OpenACS Oracle users start switching to 9i. $ cvs stat -v ora8.c =================================================================== File: ora8.c Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.10 Repository revision: 1.10 /cvsroot/aolserver/nsoracle/ora8.c,v Existing Tags: v2_4 (revision: 1.2) v2_7beta1 (revision: 1.5) v2_6 (revision: 1.4) v2_3 (revision: 1.1.1.1) v2_5 (revision: 1.3) start (revision: 1.1.1.1) scottg (branch: 1.1.1) $ cvs log ora8.c ---------------------------- revision 1.10 date: 2003/04/09 14:08:02; author: jcdlondon; state: Exp; lines: +3 -1 ignore error return 1405 for LONGs which are NULL (as in the oracle data dictionary) ---------------------------- revision 1.4 date: 2002/10/03 20:05:58; author: scottg; state: Exp; lines: +33 -11 Applied 2.6. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
