Net 8 assistant and MS oracle ODBC gives ORA-01019 error. Oracle

As part of a demonstration, I deinstalled Oracle 8 and reinstalled it. However, thereafter we got two strange occurances.

First, when we run the Net8 assistant, we get the message:
"Comment information has been detected in you rnetwork Configuration files
which may be lost or repositioned when you save your Network Configuration., Do you wish to continue?"

Try as I might, I can't find what the heck it's talking about.

Also, when I try to test the service name I created, I get the following message from Net8 assitant:

"The test did not succeed. Error while rying to retrieve text for error
ORA-01019" Oracle docs say this is a memory allocation error on the client side (we' using NT 4.0). I don't have direct control over the application heap, but I did have plenty of virtual memory to spare.

We can connect to the corresponding ODBC source OK with no error messages, using Oracle's own drivers.

Finally, this just in: the application developer installed their software on the computer in question, including Microsoft's Oracle 8 driver. It gets the same ORA-01019 message when it attempts to access the same data source via the MSoft driver.

Any thoughts.? Received on Mon Oct 19 1998 - 00:00:00 CDT
