Re: Windows 2000 and Oracle 8

Had a weird prob this morning,

Running a sql file from sqlplus.exe in a dos window, edited the file and removed some dbms_output debug statements ran the script and the old dbms_outputs appeared, added a new dbms_output and ran it again, new output did not appear , old ones appeared, , get this, renamed the file and W2K still managed to find the old one and sqlplus processed it. Did a delete from DOS and it moaned that the file did not exists, Did a find on disk, the old file was nowhere to be found, run it again and sqlplus found it,
created a new file of the same name with nothing but a comment in and ran it again, still the old dbms_outputs appeared (methinks what if this is a production scenario???). Check the disk again, only the new version existed on any of my disks, yet sqlplus still managed to to somehow get hold of the old version.

Problem not an Oracle issue, definitely some kind of cache failure and / or file system glitch...(It was stored in a compressed directory)

Definitely one too look out for again...
