    The question I asked earlier about the DBAs seeing write errors seems to
    be misleading - we've ruled out hardware or OS problems pretty much. It =
    looks
    like it might be an incompatibility of some form between 5.1A PK5 (just
    applied the patches this weekend) and Oracle 8.1.7.4 but I can't get any
    confirmation on that from anybody. Oracle insists it's not their =
    problem,
    but nothing I do outside of Oracle can reproduce the problem.

    Has anybody else run into this problem before? Any known bugs between 8i =
    and
    5.1A PK5? This didn't come up on our test and development systems, but=20
    the DBAs have managed to get a script from oracle's developers that =
    trigger
    it on them. Aparently whatever level of activity on test and dev for the =
    month
    that it was on them wasn't enough to expose the problem.

    I hope someone has some insight on this and is awake/gets this over the=20
    weekend.
