Rmcta-dude: I have written a push-button tool that takes a novice 'round the world' of an Oracle database. You can proceed in sequence to see what happens to a SQL statement from start to finish or you can jump to any button for quick reference. It's written in html so it runs in any browser...

Dude: I don't know of a switch but if you print a desc of the table it's usually pretty easy to spot the problem. * Column length exceeded * Incorrect data type * Constraint violation ..are the commonest causes. rev

Dude: Sounds like a select statement needs to grab 'em and then the C code should read them from a cursor rather than an array. I don't really understand what you're doing but sometimes such a dummy thinks differently enough to produce a new idea. rev

Dude: I don't understand any code but could it be that you're trying to insert those chars into a column that cannot contain that many? A varchar2(25) column, for example, will only allow 25 alphanumerics. Maybe the datatype on the column is wrong. rev

Dude: You could find out what file(s) make the Start bar happen and rename them. You might then need something that deals with the resulting error message. rev

Dude! Just so you know you ain't crazy, I've seen that too - it happens on my machine at work but not on my machine at home. The principal difference is networking stuff at the office that I don't have at home. I was about to complain when it improved. The only reason I can offer is that...

Dude: Rebooting is the system's default response to a system error. You can turn that response off (I forget how) and see the error instead. One possible fix might be to run a Repair from the CD and then apply SP3 again. rev

Dude: This is the kind of problem that often results from upgraging instead of using a fresh install. I don't think it can be fixed (other than by a fresh install) because they dropped the ball. rev

This is a setting inside outlook but I can't remember where it is - once you uncheck the box all will be well - but you have to find it first! Try the Outlook Help. rev

Loren: Keep the fonts you need on a CD - when you find them missing, install them from the CD. rev

Shirley dude: That means an error was detected and the system has decided to check for integrity. You'd be better off trying to find and fix the error. The system may be trying to reconcile conflicting information about the disk(s) - I would run a few disk utilities to see if they can identify...

Dude: I recieved my certificate in the mail about 2 - 3 weeks after qualifying. There's probably a database trigger that initiates the process! I don't know what's to stop people claiming certification or forging OCP certificates. rev

Dude: I believe you can vaporize the BIOS by putting a thin card under the battery contacts for a while. Then you can try flashing it again. rev

I'm with Jocsta, we've had ridiculous problems at work in which the virus checker wants to open 2 and 300 meg zip files and check everything in them. It reached a point where we dare not click on some drive letters in the network for fear of exactly whar you report. revnice

Dude: You can get Protocol Adapter Error because you specified an incorrect connect string. Beq-Local and TCP-Loopback are examples of Protocol Adapters. rev
