Hello everyone,
we are currently migrating a software to use Oracle 10 client (OCI)
instead of Oracle 9. A problem occurs that manifests itself in form of an
application crash and we boiled it down to an OCI snippet which doesnt
work
anymore. Since I am puzzles I am posting it here, maybe I get some
inspiration by you guys...
I am posting the sample code further below but in a nut shell I am doing
this:
* Create a table ABC with a single int column.
* Create and prepare a statement INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(:1).
* Bind the :1 to a value, say 8. Execute the statement. Works wonderfully
up
until here
* Bind the :1 of the same statement to NULL with the intention of
inserting
a NULL value into the table. No NOT NULL constraint is present.
* Execute the statement again with the new bind --> crash!
* I am using MS Dev Studio 2005, C++, and at the time of the crash the
call
stack is entirely messed up, no clue to the cause. The message will say:
"Unhandled exception at <memory address> in <appl name>: 0xC0000005,
Access vilation reading location 0x00000000.
* The very same code used to run perfectly well under Ora9 OCI client.
* The event occurs no matter what database server I use (9 or 10 have been
tested).
* The Ora Client is 10.2.0.x.
* If I insert the NULL value first and then 8, it works fine. If I insert
the NULL after the 8 with a new statement, not recycling the same prepared
statement, it works fine as well!
Thank you very much in advance,
AH
:)
PS: Here is the sample code. The statement that will crash has been marked
with a comment.
