Hello fokls. First, I do not and have never worked for Oracle. I thought I'd show you some funny and interesting comments from the Oracle source tree that I've been made privy to. Here is today's installment.
/* retch, gag, choke. If this bit is off, oracle doesn't break/reset
the ttc pipe in the event of an error. When oracle is running an NPI
execution, there may well be data left in the pipe when an error
occurs at type-check time since the current crop of bind variables
are sent along with the execute function block . Since this bit is
always cleared, the data stays in the pipe and fouls things up on
the next transmit. So...don't clear the bit here if executing an
OEXEC (or an OALL, which may execute an OEXEC). Instead, let opiobv
clear it. This means that any execute error will mean a break/reset,
even if there is no data left in the pipe. Tough luck, campers */
