RE: memory fault, core dump
Our problem has nothing to do with Oracle. If you want to discuss the merits of oracle vs informix, please use another thread. The problem we have is serious to us and we need to solve it. I don't have the time or inclination to weed through the legitimate replies to our problems and your opinions.

A core dump is the result of memory leakage or overwrites. It could be from your own functions when the variables are not properly defined. It could be from a third party library you are using which has a memory leak in a function used by your program. It could be that you are pushing wrong type of variable to a third party function. If you are not checking array boundaries you may be flying off the edge. Also it depends on your C compiler and the degree of optimization you do some fail with the sort of results you see, it also depends on OS some compilers need special flags to work properly, etc. So unless you know how to use the tools available for checking exactly what is the cause of the problem no one can help you, (may be if you posted the entire code). > > Thank you for your help in stopping the problem > > Dee Wampler > Technical Leader -- Compliments of QueriX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QueriX 4GL Compilers are Informix 4GL Compatible, and Connection to other RDBMS such as Oracle.
