ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype

[avert]

Hi--

I'm a total newbie to Oracle.

I had a BDE app in Delphi 6 that I modified to run in Oracle.

On my development computers, it runs fine.

On the customers computers, after they get the database login form from Oracle, they get:

ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype

What my code is doing there is:

Select * from MyTable

The fields are created persistently in the Delphi IDE for that query.

Oracle 8 on both my and the clients machines.

Thoughts?

Since they get that far, that DOES mean that my app is talking to their Oracle engine correct? Ie. it's not a driven issue?

Thanks
Kelly

Perhaps the customer has SQL*Net 2.x installed, and your table contains a Net8 specific column like a CLOB, BLOB or Object? That could cause ORA-03115.

If so, the customer needs to install Net8 8.0 or later.
