John, Shaleen mentioned to me, in a direct e-mail, that there was a bug in 8i and there was some workaround available. I do not have the bug number. - Kirti
-----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 10:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Shaleen/Kirti, If this is version dependent, then Oracle will brand this a 'feature' rather than a bug. And I think I know why this is happening.... As per the Concepts manual, "When you create a stored procedure, Oracle parses the procedure and stores its parsed representation in the database." I assume that when this SP is called, the SQL segment is reconstructed by the kernel and it looses its formatting during this reconstruction, thus creating a different signature/hash area. 9iR2 may be reconstructing this properly while 8i may not (as it was the first release for Outlines). I hope this make sense! Anyone willing to look at and compare the structures of IDL_UB1$ and IDL_UB2$ and IDL_SB4$ tables (SYS) between the two versions.
