I'm wondering (out loud, at this point), if it's ok to have a one-time call to determine the SERVER version at runtime and just adjust this dynamically. I.e, if compiled for version 9, have a DBH level variable that detects the server version and if < 9, just use our OCILobWriteAppend workaround and move on. If >= 9, use Oracle's OCILobWriteAppend. This would be a one-time penalty per call to the append... What do you think? Jeff
