Oracle team members, this is Q for you...

Dear members of Oracle OLEDB team, you are the only one who can answer this (one page at oracle.com says that you are monitoring this forum):
ADO has Cancel method both on Command and Recordset object, which should cancel pending async call (every damn page on Internet says so). Oracle OCI interface has OCIBreak method that does exactly that. Now, why is Cancel method not working anything but waiting till the async call execution is fully completed (the call to Cancel method really blocks the calling thread!!) - it does not cancel anything, it just blocks the code !
I can expect that Microsoft didn't bother about this "insignificant" issue, but this is Oracle provider for Oracle server written by Oracle... - why is your provider behaving the same ?
I expect you to reply with really good explanation to this quite important issue, this is not a hundredth-time-"how to retrieve recordset from a stored procedure"-beginners-question
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
Please don't misunderstand, fetching is not a problem, only "heavy" command execution ("heavy" select statement in my case)

There was, in the early 8.1.7 days at least, a bug in OCI where the break/ cancel call didn't work properly. I have no idea whether it was fixed or not and I've long since forgotten the number. You may be able to find it on metalink. You don't say what version of the client you have or whether you've installed any patchsets for the client. If you're not on the latest patchset for your platform, and your platform isn't at least 8.1.7, I'd strongly suggest upgrading.
Note that as a general rule, these forums aren't monitored by Oracle developers. From time to time they'll pop by, but it's not something that's likely to be their #1 priority. You could log a TAR on metalink to get an answer from an Oracle person.

  • Does this forum suck for you too?

    I don't mean the content. I find these Flash forums very
    useful and helpful. It's the performance of the actual forum site
    that makes me increasingly want to avoid this place. Click any
    thread and it may or may not load, and when it does (often on the
    3rd or 4th attempt) it takes between 30 and 90 seconds to load. I
    note that many newcomers to this forum post the identical messages
    3 or 4 times, probably because the molasses-slow performance makes
    them worry their message didn't get posted. Am I the only one this
    is happening to? If not, has it gotten gradually worse and worse
    for you over the past couple weeks?
    It's very frustrating because I enjoy learning and
    contributing to the discussions here. I just want to find out if
    it's a problem for me alone.
    I'm using latest IE and Firefox on a clear, unshared 6MB
    broadband connection. No problems with any other forums on the web,
    just this one.

    I have noticed that the forum (and only this one for me) has
    been increasingly slow in the last day or two. Looks like it is
    time for them to do some pruning, heh. And as it seems, something
    seems to keep refreshing on this forum bout every 15 secs or so. If
    it is not just me, then that might be contributing to the problem.
    Anyways, back to hoping for an answer to the question I posted.
    And, btw, personally I stay away from using email clients for
    just about anything but an intranet, due to a large portion of
    viruses dedicated to mail clients....specially Microsoft made
    ones.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Distortion Issues With Vista - See if this solution works for you guys

    First of All Creative - It's sad, really sad that you really haven't supported your customers. As such a big maker of excellent products, I'm disappointed to know that you have barely provided driver support to your customers. I've been buying Creative products since 1997 - Also - I purposely upgraded my sound card on my Hp Media Center to an Audigy 2 ZS. Secondly - I formatted my computer and re-installed Vista. Before that, the sound card i.e. the sound worked fine (after a lot of trial and errors with different drivers, i somehow managed to get it working without Snap, Crackle and Pop Issues. In other words, I experienced distorted playback when I first installed Vista. Now that I re-installed Vista - Everything installed but as usual - only issue: Yup, you guessed it right.
    Creative Audigy 2 ZS Infamous Snap Crackle Pop (SCP) I did try k_daniels drivers and even though I applaud for his efforts - unfortunately it didn't work for me but i'm sure they would if you did the following - ) Uninstall all Creative Drivers Using Driver Sweep2) Do not install the driver through Windows Update (did not work for me)3) Install latest drivers from Creative or K_Daniel's Package4) Install Vista Codec Pack5) Install DirectX06) Then do the following: Got this sorted. Hope it works for everyone..found the answer searching Google.
    Right click VOLUME icon in taskbar
    Click PLAYBACK DEVICES
    Right click SPEAKERS
    Click PROPERTIESClick ADVANCED Make sure there's no tick marks in any of the options there including ENHANCEMENTS.
    This should sort it. [After doing all this, I have no sound issues whatsoever - Crystal Clear Audio Quality but still not better then XP] I am planning to try K_Daniels pack with all the extra applications and I'll post later on in regards to my experience with the pack. Good Luck P.S: Hope this helps somebody because doing all that helped me get back the audio clarity I was looking for without any distortion whatsoever.

    Hi xmins
    Im not using a decoder, only an amplifier alone with two speakers ... My cable is plugged in line out , and then plugged on line in of the amplifier.
    The distortion is very audible, in HL 2, Battlefield 2, etc
    When got a explosion, a shot from shotgun, missile, the sound comes distorted ...
    Any more hints?

  • Neither bootloader works? maybe this will work for you:

    Hey all.  I'd used arch before and loved it so when I got an old HP and went thru the install and everything seemed o.k. I was excited, until grub didn't work.  At first I got the famous and well-documented Error 15, then I got another problem which is harder to describe (but anyone who has had it will know what I mean when I say): "A SCREENFULL OF GRUB."  Finally, I tried lilo which refused to even install for a different reason each attempt.  I had pretty much given up and was about to install Ubuntu (which fails to install on this PC 9/10 times but at least runs ok) when I tried one last thing; using the "install Grub..." option in "More Options (or was it Tools?)" on the Arch CD.  The screen went black and white and real ugly (like with static) and it looked like it didn't work at all.  I pressed enter again and some unreadable text scrolled and when I rebooted Arch loaded up perfectly.  I'm not sure what the problem was but installing Grub via the CD rather than the Arch setup guide did the trick!
    Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone else having the same problem.

    Well that's is strange.
    You also say Ubuntu won't install 9 out of 10 times ?
    What's your hardware ?

  • CaptainMorgan08, pravinth and duffymo This one is for you

    i started learning Java like 3 months ago. The tutorials from sun was really very hard for me since i have not done any programming in 2 years. I love to readjava forums and sometime i have helped may be 3 people. hey anything is better than nothing. for all the newbies i will prefer people to buy the book java for dummies. This will give you a good start in Java just a start. while i was reading the forums 3 people inspired me alot.

Big fan of you also duffy .
    Thanks alot for all your help and keep up the hard work.

  • View Piano Score while Recording-THIS ONE'S FOR YOU SAMPLECONSTRUCT!

    *I wish to view my Piano score while recording on a Midi Track.*As soon as I hit Record my Piano Score disappears & is replaced by a BLANK Scrolling score notation representing the Recording Track.As soon as I stop recording My Piano Score which I wanted to READ while recording reappears.
    This is not what I want as I wish to follow along & read the Piano Score on my Midi track AND Record a new TAKE at the same time.
    I have not found a way to do this & if it is not possible it is a serious omission in Logic 8 as far as I am concerned as I would expect a lot of us would like to have this feature. And it seems like such a logical way to do things...just READ & follow along while recording a take. Sort of like the old "bouncing ball" following along with a lyric.
    Any solutions out there? Especially from you SAMPLECONSTRUCT as you seem to be a major contributor on this discussion group.
    Thanks in Advance...JOHN

    I'm not Sampleconstruct, but I have answered this one personally here several times, over the years...
    Simply open your Piano Roll editor, and deselect the chain link symbol up in the left hand corner. I believe it defaults to being yellow. Turn it off (turns gray).
    Now you can record directly onto this track, or even another one, WHILE you are viewing the MIDI data that is already there. It won't go blank when you go into record.
    If you want this to be a permanent part of your set-up, simply lock the screenset when you have the chain link turned off.

  • Hi experts....This one is for you....

    Facing a problem with datagrid.....

    Thanks guys..you rock.....!

    Hi BI CONSULTANT,
    Have you managed to solve this problem?
    I think %A is not gonna help you.
    Do you have NODIM() function defined in your formula? Remove this and % sign will be displayed in each rows.

  • Can any NI users verify if this also happens for you?

    Does anyone ever experience where you move audio regions around, make changes to their length-- or even sometimes hit spacebar (to play) immediately after clicking on a ruler position and Kontakt2 begins reloading all of the instruments in the song??
    This happens to me all the time and NI says that this is something they fixed, yet I am using the latest version.
    -p

    This has happened to me twice now in the last hour, where Kontakt2 freaks out and reloads and then after that I try to save my song and Logic says "unable to save document"... GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I just want to get my music project done, not have to reload my project every hour and lose 30 minutes of work each time.
    I am beyond frustrated.

  • Tell me if this website works for you

    http://www.good-ear.com/servlet/EarTrainer?again=on
    It is supposed to play an audio/midi file. Firefox can't automatically install the plugin and I'm not sure what it wants. Flash works fine for me, I watch YouTube vids all the time. Any ideas? Google turned up nothing except help for Ubuntu!

    I installed timidity, timidity-freepats and mozplugger, however it still doesn't work. There was an error during installation--it said /sbin/ldoch (or something /sbin/...) was "full." Weird and annoying.
    My root partition is full. That explains it. I'll report back in after a parition (geez I guess kdemod is really big)
    edit: What is a good GUI partition manager I can get with pacman? ArchWiki/Common Apps turned up nothing, nor did a wiki search.

  • @oracle team; forms server help desparately needed

    hi
    my company is trying to migrate client machines to linux. our setup should be the following:
    database <-> forms server <-> linux client with applet viewer
    v9.2.....................v9i.................debian 3.0, j2sdk1.3
    i am working on this setup for some months(!) now but i cannot get the clients to communicate stable with the rest of the setup.
    problem: quite frequently the appletviewer will just hang and cause the forms server to create a
    f90webm_dump_`$PID` file
    in its working directory containing the following information:
    [Mon Jan 20 21:58:29 2003 CET]::Client Status [ConnId=0, PID=10033]
    >> Network connection to client failed: timeout on connection
    the people working on the client machines are quite quickly inputting data into our databases. the appletviewer will hang more often on machines < 500 MHz but it also hangs on machines with more than 1.5 GHz and 512 MB DDR
    i have literally tried everything:
    i tried these java versions:
    1.1, 1.3_x, 1.4.1 from sun, blackdown, ibm and even the one that came with the forms server on the clients
    i tried to tune every setting on the forms server and in the jvm.cfg. i even tried to install the forms server on the clients so that i would have one tcp connection less to definitely exclude network failure as a possible reason.
    i tried to use the PREEMPT_CLOSE setting, i even patched the kernels (low latency patch), analysed megabytes of debug logging, tried to strace the appletviewer to find WHY it keeps hanging!!!!
    i tried to use different linux versions for best compatibility on the clients as well as on the forms server:
    debian potato, woody, sarge, sid
    suse 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
    redhat 7.2, 7.3
    i have read almost ALL documentation you could possibly read to find the reason of this problem.
    dear oracle team
    PLEASE just tell me that you have even tested this product and that you know how to make it work in a stable way. we can even pay you money to give us the solution. we have been using oracle forms for 7 years now and we want to stick with it. but our clients HAVE to be able to run the linux OS.
    i have posted this problem 2 or 3 times already but somehow either noone seems to read this or noone has ever tried to use a three tier setup with linux on the middle and the client tier.
    as i said i have wasted MONTHS already trying to get this to work and i am out of ideas what could cause this.
    thanks for ANY reaction
    armin walland

    sorry for not responding a few days, i didnt have the possibility to do so.
    if you access and run the application from a Windows
    client using JInitiator, what happens.i have tried that of course and it seemed to be stable. (no hang in about 2 and a half days). i dont think it is a problem on the forms server itself...maybe just some setting that doesnt cooperate well with the appletviewer.
    Since we don't
    certify Forms9i with appletviewer, we didn't test it
    there.thats what i thought to be honest....since you say "we"; do you work for oracle?
    So first thing to do is to check if the
    problem is a client issue or a server side problem.seems more like a client proble to me though....somehow it looks like some deadlock or race condition, but im not a programmer so this could be a completely wrong impression.
    If youi can, can you try a test on a Windows client?as i said b4, we tried that and it seemed to work finely but it was to test the server and ensure it isnt a complete misconfiguration issue :)
    rgds, armin

    Can you get a job if you become certified in Oracle?  Certainly!
    Will you get a job if you become certified in Oracle?  Who knows?
    Professional certifications are not magic wands.  You cannot wave a certificate and cause employers to come running to hire you. Certifications can help you to learn some of the skills required to administer Oracle, or develop in Oracle, or use various Oracle software products. There are companies that need people with this knowledge. I have written a number of articles about the topic:
    Oracle Certification Prep: What is Certification?

  • Can Oracle Access Manager (OAM) be used for configuring data-level access?

    Hi,
    Can OAM 10gR3 or 11g be used for configuring data-level access in PS 9.10 and OBI 11g.
    This would mean that data-level configuration are stored centrally within OAM database and PS 9.10 pulls these settings for its appropriate Row and ChartField security and OBI 11g queries OAM database tables to populate the initialization blocks during login.
    If you have configured this successfuly, please feel free to provide highlevel details/steps about the configuration and any complexities that can pre present.
    Thanks.

    I recently worked on an interesting implementation that utilized OAM configured against OID in which OAM was configured to control authentication/authorization and then all applications that were serviced by OAM utilized the users login to pass to the database at which point the Oracle database utilized VPD, which was configured against the same OID instance, to leverage user attributes/groups in order to configure fine-grained access control to data within the database. Not sure if this would work for you unless your requirements are similar but it worked very well for this particular implementation as it allowed them to have SSO for their own apps and for BI Publisher which then could pass allong the userid to be leveraged by the database to do fine grained access control.

  • Riddle Me This! Looking for Plug-In or Handy Hint

    Good Day, Illustrator Forum Folk:
    I'm looking for a freeware or shareware plug-in (or maybe just a handy hint that I'm unaware of) for ai CS5 that will show me the transform pane's coordinates of a PREVIOUSLY selected item.
    In other words, I select an object or objects. I usually write down the co-ordinates on a scrap piece of paper. Then I select a different object or place or import a new object to these co-ordinates.
    My best comparison is how in Photoshop in the Info Pane you can show 1st Color Readout and 2nd Color Readout. Just need some kind of tool that captures the position and size of an object so when I select another object I can still see those previous numbers instead of having to rely on scraps of paper and handwriting.
    Does anyone know of such a tool?

    Hi Russel, it took me a while to put something together, but finally here it is. If you only wanted to "see" the values of an object, then manually use those on another object, this might work for you. I'm still working on another version where values can be copied from one object to another, but i'm running into some trouble with it.
    // script.name = copyPasteValues4.1;
    // script description = 'shows' transform values of selected object;
    // script.required = one selected object
    // script.parent = CarlosCanto // 3/18/11;
    // script.elegant = false;
    //#target Illustrator

    Trying to update the software on my iphone 4.  It stops and says, "An error occurred while backing up this iphone.  -43.  Would you like to continue?  Continuing will result in the loss of content..."   What should I do?

    The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.
