Ron as other people have suggested the problem you are running into is probably an application related problem that you force oracle into.

Now there's nothing wrong with migrating away from windows, or upgrading the database in itself.

But fixing your problem before you migrate would be the best solution, otherwise you are just buying time (maybe) until someone really takes the time to figure out what is going on. Received on Mon Aug 22 2005 - 14:20:15 CDT
