Hi. I had some problems with getting Intermedia to work after patching to 8.1.7. I got a ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of CTXSYS.CONTEXT ORA-29835: ODCIGETINTERFACES routine does not return required interface(s) When trying to create an index. Searched Metalink, and eventually found document 1327325 where the workaround is stated to be spool recompile1.sql select 'alter package '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;' from dba_objects where object_type='PACKAGE' and status='INVALID' and owner in('ORDSYS','CTXSYS'); spool off; @recompile1.sql I applied this, but when I try to create the index now, I get SQL> CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index ON ccs_search(content) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARAMETERS('section group ccs_search_group'); 2 3 CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index * ERROR at line 1: ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine ORA-20000: interMedia Text error: ORA-00001: unique constraint (CTXSYS.DRC$IDX_COLSPEC) violated ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 122 ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", line 34 ORA-06512: at line 1 It seems to me, that intermedia tries to index into an existing table, and failes because it has lost track of it's own sequence? I'm just guessing here and could really use a few tips to get this thing working.
