Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> desc <broad_table> => ORA-12592: TNS:bad packet
Hello
Oracle 8i/Solaris
I am having this weird problem:
If I am using sql*plus on my NT Client to describe a broad table
(broad meaning: having a lot of columns) I receive an
ORA-12592: TNS:bad packet. This doesn't happen if I describe a small
table.
Even more interestingly, if I desc the broad table from an sql*plus sitting on the server, I have no problems.
I figure that must be a networking issue, but have no clue where to start debugging this issue.
I have turned on TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=16 in my local sqlnet.ora, but am overwhelmed by the amount of trace information this gives.
Can someone give me a clue where to start debugging this?
TIA
MK
