TOracleSession Memory leak

[botham]

We spent all of yesterday tracking a memory leak in one of our mission critical programs. It was pinpointed down to the TOracleSession component. If you do a plain connect, logon, logoff, disconnect repeatedly the memory just keeps creeping up. We took all other factors out of the mix. It was the session component! How do I get this fixed, and how long will it take? We are using the latest download from the website doa34d6.zip.

I just tested an app on my rig with a logon logoff loop (200 of them) and didn't see any memory creep. You might want to take a look at what version of the Oracle client you are using (mine is 9.2.0.1) as I've seen memory leaks on older versions. Good luck!

Some Oracle Net versions have a memory leak when connecting/disconnecting. See also this topic .

We just installed 8.1.7.4.1 on the server and still have memory leaks. Our DBA is not aware of any Client side patches. Is there client side patches also, or only the server patch?

In the topic I referred to, a client patch 8.1.7.4 was installed. It is not a server issue.
