Hi All,

We had some coredumps while running an insert statement with following message

Errors in file /data/oracle8/disk1/PIVT/admin/udump/ora_25466_pivt.trc: ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [11] [0] [0] [] [] [] ORA-00001: unique constraint (CABS.PKY_C_SECURITY_RLSHP) violated

we received a message on the client with the catch all message 'end of file on communication channel ........' and a coredump on UNIX.

I know that Oracle did/does not like the unique key violation, but is it normal behaviour to coredump on it??
I would expect a message to the client saying it is a unique key violation.

Can anybody shed some light as to why this would happen (Later on we ran the proces as a different user and had no problems, oracle just returned the violation error to the client)

The only reason I can think of for now is that Oracle generated the message ORA-00001 and had problems delivering it to the client so decided to coredump instead but that is just guessing

TIA Jack
