RE: ORA-03115 (TOAD question!!)

2003-08-01 Thread Jared Still

Sorry, I must have been shooting from the hip.

Not taking enough time to read more carefully.

The LAST_HOME is likely being read by TOAD. 

Could be that TOAD stores the Oracle home it
was last initialized with, compares it to the
current on on subsequent startups, and tries
to revert by using LAST_HOME.

Take a look at any ini files or TOAD registry 
entries.

The question is, is it TOAD that uses the LAST_HOME entry, or is
it Oracle itself? TOAD documentation suggests it's Oracle.

Reading LAST_HOME entry to decide which version of SQLNet to use
just doesn't sound right (can't see any logic). I think
DEFAULT_HOME setting should always be used. I read note
Note:73963.1 regarding this but it doesn't mention this behaviour.

Maybe I will look for a higher version of TOAD and see how it
goes.

Charu.

You may find it easier to just run the "Oracle Home Selector"
that appears in the Startup->Programs->Oracle Installation
Products
menu.

It has the benefit of also modifying the PATH variable.

Title: RE: ORA-03115 (TOAD question!!)



Hi,
 
It 
worked!! As suggested by Raj, I browsed the TOAD help on SQL*Net installation 
and found out this piece of information:
 
**
When Oracle connects, it will look in ALL_HOMES for the 
"LAST_HOME" value, which in this case is zero "0".  It appends zero to 
"HOME" to produce "HOME0", then it looks in HKLM\Software\ORACLE\HOME0 for the 
ORACLE_HOME value.
**
 
I 
modified the LAST_HOME key to point to the 8i HOME and restarted TOAD and 
was able to query CLOBs successfully. 
 
Thanks 
a lot!!
 
Best

Charu

So now, if the freeware version's updated, I'll have zero control over who

2003-07-31 Thread Jesse, Rich


Man, I hope not.  The complete reversal of the security in TOAD from "deny
all / grant some" to "grant all / deny some" in 7.3 made maintenance a
nightmare (we're stuck at v7.2 for this reason).  Security granted by
default is not security -- it's a welcome mat with the key tucked
underneath.  This problem has been compounded by the lack of version
specified in the call to DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE that TOAD does.
If it had this, I could use a logon trigger to weed out "non-standard"
versions of TOAD on our production DBs.  I'm not looking to hamper our devs,
just help prevent them or TOAD from making happy accidents.

So now, if the freeware version's updated, I'll have zero control over who
uses what version of TOAD against our DBs.  And if the freeware version is
using the "new and improved" security-less model, it's an open door.

I believe I read on the TOAD list that they are working on a major upgrade
to the free version of TOAD that will bring it up to the 7.5 code base.  I
think the target date was September...

7.6 is BETA.  7.5.2 is the current release.  New betas appear frequently.
Also, this version is not free.  It's listed at just under $800 US.  The
freeware version is v6.x, which has the LOB bug, among a host of others.

Subject: ORA-03115 (TOAD question!!)



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?


Thanks & regards,
Charu.
