Eric, 9i WILL and DOES support 6i client, it is only Forms/Reports 9i deployment in client-server environment, which is not supported. Until 2008 you can continue to use Forms/Reports 6i with 9i, unless of course they de-support it in Oracle 25i. Raj ___

Hi Santosh,   At the time I needed this material, I didn't find anything valuable in the internet for free. Maybe coz DBA's don't have much free time except for books (which is paid). Maybe reasons are different. :) My advice: nothing better buying good OCP book for 50$. that's 10% of what y

Hanna, I still have a fairly confused view of what your problem is and how you plan to solve it. Jean is right about the solution - autonomous transactions are the easier way (dbms_pipe is the other one) to ensure that you will not lose any track of your debugging information even if the tr
