Hi, I have Oracle 8i Enterprise Server, Oracle 9i Enterprise Server and Oracle 7.3.4 client on my NT4 machine. When I connect to remote/local databases through TOAD 6.5 (which supports LOBs) and try to fetch a CLOB value I get the 'ORA-03115: Unsupported network datatype or representation'.
I think that this error is due to the limitation of CLOBs in SQL*Net 2.3 which comes with 7.3.4 client. However, I have set the default home to ORA_8i_HOME(which has Net8) using the 'Home Selector' utility. Also, TOAD is reading the TNSNames.Ora file from this home, so should be using Net8 rather than SQL*Net. I have Googled and searched Metalink, but got no clearcut reply. Can you please suggest any way to rectify it?
