DirectPathLoader with Oracle 9 Client

[bspierre]

When I run the prepare method of the the DPL component I get the error:

Access violation at address 606DA0A9 in
module 'OraClient9.Dll'. Read of address 00000000

The same code works when using the 8.17 client. Is this is problem with the 9 client?

Thanks

There does indeed seem to be a problem with the 9i client and direct path loading. We will look into this.

This also seems to occur when using a class (generated by the package wizard) that has a procedure with a BLOB parameter.

BLOB parameters should work just fine. If you are experiencing a problem, perhaps you can send me a demo project to reproduce this.

Marco,

What's the status of this issue? For the moment I'm using the oracle 8 client.

Thanks

As far as we can see the Direct Path Loader API in the Oracle9i client appears to have a bug. That's all I know about it right now.

Has the bug been reported to Oracle? Could you give me the bug number?
If it is their problem I would like to track it with them and ask them why it hasn't been fixed after a year.

Thanks
