Hi, Richard, I think what needs to happen is someone from our community of Oracle installations needs to commit an Oracle-backed installation to the next Testathon, to catch items like this. I am also going to try to do more testing along the way. I think what we need to do as a community is to be especially vigilant for patches that touch the classes that interact with the database in any way, as this area of DSpace is particularly important to our use of DSpace.
I'd like to reach out to the more-experienced developers on this list: is there a good way, besides "paying more attention" to follow the commits and watch out for changes to the database classes? Do I need to just join the commit mail list and set up a a filter in my mail client? Or is there some better way to keep on top of these things? Also, Richard, this a very minor detail, but I am the reporter for DS-841, Peter was kind enough to add a comment on my behalf, when I could not figure out how to add one (I was home sick with a case of the flu on that day, and I appreciate Peter's willingness to do that for me). -- HARDY POTTINGER <[email protected]> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ "No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back." --Turkish proverb On 5/2/11 8:59 AM, "Jizba, Richard" <[email protected]> wrote: > >We have encountered the problem reported previously by Peter Dietz: >http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/DuraSpace-JIRA-Created-DS-841-IllegalA >rgumentException-No-such-column-rnum-error-in-DSpace-1-7-x-XML-td3381504.h >tml >('IllegalArgumentException: No such column rnum' error in DSpace 1.7.x >XMLUI admin eperson (with Oracle backend)) > >Any release date for 1.7.2? > >Also, in the older "Reference Theme", the simple solr statistics do not >display. >Look at: http://hdl.handle.net/10504/90 > >Any explanation for why the Oracle side has been so buggy with this >version?
