OCCI/ODBC application sql trace failure...

Question

Hi,
I was doing the sql*net trace for an OCCI/ODBC Application writen in c++. I have an InstantClient on my PC. I was trying to access the Oracle through my C++ program to
compare the performance of OCCI and ODBC.
I was using the Oracle 10g(ver10.2.0.1.0 ), Oracle instant cilent(win32-10.2.0.3-20061115), and VS 8.0.
TNSNAMES.ora:
ORCL =　　
　　(DESCRIPTION =
　　(ADDRESS_LIST =
　　(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_name)(PORT = 1521))
　　(CONNECT_DATA =
　　(SERVER = DEDICATED)
　　(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
(SID = ORCL)
LISTENER.ORA:(It was created by net manager.)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
　　(SID_LIST =
　　(SID_DESC =
　　(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL)
　　(ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_3)
　　(SID_NAME = ORCL)
LISTENER =
　　(DESCRIPTION =
　　(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOST_NAME)(PORT = 1521))
The sqlnet.ora file was writen to trace the client sql. Fortunately, my C++ program can access the oracle and get my result back successfully. In the same time, the trace files
can be created, but when using the tkprof tool to explain it, it comes to the file with useless information.
One of the *.trc file explaind by tkprof tool:
Sort options: default
count = number of times OCI procedure was executed
cpu = cpu time in seconds executing
elapsed = elapsed time in seconds executing
disk = number of physical reads of buffers from disk
query = number of buffers gotten for consistent read
current = number of buffers gotten in current mode (usually for update)
rows = number of rows processed by the fetch or execute call
Trace file: ora21763.trc
Trace file compatibility: 8.00.04
Sort options: default
1 session in tracefile.
0 user SQL statements in trace file.
0 internal SQL statements in trace file.
0 SQL statements in trace file.
0 unique SQL statements in trace file.
327 lines in trace file.
Finally, I got TNS-12518 TNS-12564 error. I tried to add DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF, but it didnt work. I traced the listener, the error occured in the listener.trc "
ntt2err: soc 464 error " and " nsbequeath: error reading REDIR/NSE msg".
I just cann't get the right trace file and cann't sovle the two errors(TNS-12518 TNS-12564). Can somebody give me some advices, please.

Hi,
The TKPROF facility accepts as input an SQL trace file generated when SQL Trace has been turned on for the system or a session, not a SQL*NET trace file. A SQL*Net trace file is a dump of raw data packets and communications at the SQL*NET layer. If you want to get performance statistics from SQL beign executed by your application, then you need to turn on SQL Trace not SQL*MET tracing.
To enable SQL trace at the system level, you need to execute:
alter system set SQL_TRACE=TRUE
The NS-12518 TNS-12564 normally means you are running into some sort of resource deletion issue. This can be caused by various things. Make sure you are properly cleaning up and closing sessions in your application.
Are you performing some sort of stress test or have you just written a Multi-threaded test harness that executes different types of SQL with OCCI/ODBC?
