I am requesting feedback from anyone who is using Version 6 of Oracle on a VAX/Ultrix (4.1) platform. Ongoing problems with data corruption have halted my effort to migrate from Oracle V5. In addition to the ORA-1578 errors (Oracle data block corrupted), this problem tends to crash the machine (a MicroVAX 3400 w/20M RAM) and corrupt executables like sh5. I've worked with a dozen people at Oracle on this and they have finally concluded that it's a bug within the Ultrix kernal. DEC has been little help, releasing a required patch 6 weeks after I started this journey. If I can't get this resolved, we may end up dumping Oracle and/or DEC altogether. Any suggestions or descriptions of similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. -- |\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/| | Mark Budka, SEI Information Technology, Los Angeles | | ...uunet!mahendo.jpl.nasa.gov!seila!edison!mark | | 5455 Wilshire Boulevard LA, CA 90036-4244 Phone: 213-945-9250 |
