TLOBLocator Exception - Net9

[MarkR]

Hi Marco,

I am trying to use a LOBLocator for the first time. When I try to create the LOBLocator, I get the following exception:

A TLOBLocator instance requires Net8, which is not detected on this PC.

The PC I am trying to run this on has SQL*NET and Net9, but not Net8. Is this a DOA bug/oversight which only tries to detect Net8 and not Net9? The database being used is Oracle 9.0.1. I have used the Oracle home selector and set it to the home for Net9.

Thanks,

Mark

Direct Oracle Access should correctly detect and use the Oracle9 client. Perhaps you can try to add the following line in your code after connecting the session:

ShowDOAInfo(Session);

This will display the client and server configuration, which may provide a clue.

Can you also let me know your Direct Oracle Access version?

Marco,

The DOA version is 3.4.5.1 on Delphi 6.

When I tried this, I originally had the Oracle Home set to the SQL*NET home. I used the Oracle Home Selector to change it with the project still open in Delphi. Even though the registry settings were changed, DOA did not recognize the change.

I did get this to work, but had to completely close out of Delphi and restart it after correctly setting the Oracle Home to get it to work.
Thanks for your help.

Mark
