Thanks, Bill. I now see my problem. I was trying to count the number of times a particular student id occurred (namely, once for each order). My approach should have been to count the number of order ID's for each student ID. It's funny, but both approaches actually work, but the Witango search

srini, i think you need to have the OCILIBPATH set to the path of the libraries, and not to the actual filename. on osx i just have "libclntsh.dylib" in that directory, and on solaris i have a "libclntsh.so" (amongst others). i'm not sure about the file with "jdbc" in the name. also, on my bo
