Editable views with instead of triggers in Oracle 10G

Question

Hi,
We are attempting to migrate our database application from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10G. We have found that we are getting the error [ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel] when we attempt to insert multiple rows into database tables using editable views equipped with INSTEAD OF triggers. When inserting multiple rows, we are using a single insert statement of the form insert into...select from. Strangely enough, when the select query within the insert statement returns a single row, the insert statement is successful. We also noticed that if we issue a commit right before executing the insert statement, the insert statement is successful regardless of the number of rows being inserted. But this is not a viable workaround as the current transaction contents needs to be maintained. We did not have these issues in Oracle 9i. Does Oracle 10G have any known issues with editable views equipped with INSTEAD OF triggers? Are there any settings in the INIT.ORA file that can resolve these issues? Thanks for your help.

Confirmed. If you use 2D input, or change the Z dimensions so they are different, you will get the results you expect in 10g. Otherwise - a line.
I'm not sure why, and can't see a bug report on that in support, but obviously it was recognized and fixed as you indicate.
Try it with 2D input, and it will work:
select sdo_aggr_mbr(
SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 3),
SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-10, -10, 10, 10))
from dual;
Or with different Z values:
select sdo_aggr_mbr(
SDO_GEOMETRY(3003, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 3),
SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-10, -10, 1, 10, 10, 11))
from dual
