PRB: Debug Exception Connecting to Oracle Server

Last reviewed: February 27, 1998
Article ID: Q181893

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 5.0, 5.0sp1, 5.0sp2, 5.0sp3

SYMPTOMS

When an application using the ODBC API and running under the Visual C++ 5.0 debugger attempts to connect to an Oracle Server the following exception may be generated:

   Unhandled Exception in <app_name> ntdll.dll 0xC0000008

CAUSE

This exception is caused by a bug in the Oracle Trace Collection Services DLL (Otrace73.dll) installed by version 7.3.3.0 of the Oracle Client software.

RESOLUTION

Obtain a patch from the Oracle Corporation to upgrade the Oracle Client Software to 7.3.3.0.3 or later.

If the patch is not available, use the Oracle Installer to uninstall the Oracle Trace Collection Services from the client. This solution should be considered a temporary workaround until the patch can be applied.

MORE INFORMATION

The exception is generated during a call to one of the following ODBC APIs:

   SQLDriverConnect()
   SQLConnect()
   SQLBrowseConnect()
