Direct Path Load Demo-client 8 client/ 9 database

[bspierre]

I'm using an Oralce 8.1.7 Client and an Oracle 9 database. When I try to run the sample direct path example I get the error:

ORA-24329: invalid character set identifier

The character set on both client and server is the same (WE8ISO 8859pi).
It works with a similiarly configured 8i database.

Any help would be welcome.

What is your server OS?

The operating system is Sun Solaris 2.8.

Any idea if the problems I'm having with direct path load and oracle 9 is a problem that is likely to be solved by your company in the near future or is it something that's waiting on Oracle?

Is it even being looked at?

I need to know so I can decide if I should go with a completely different approach.

Thanks
Bill

It seems like an Oracle bug. I can reproduce it on Linux, but the DOA code seems okay. The same is working fine on 8.1.x.

We have just tried this against the 9.2 client and we still get an access violation. Can you raise this problem with Oracle support or provide information on the OCI calls so that we can raise the problem with Oracle?
