Hello everyone, I am facing a strange issue in oracle 11g. It may not be a database issue, can be related to network also. In brief, Not able to execute sql statements from my workstation (oracle 11g client) which returns more amount of data for ex: select * from v$session,select * from dict; I can execute simple statements like select * from version / some user tables with less number of data by limiting with “where” clause. This is not an issue when I am in a remote workstation which is located in the same network as the database server (in a remote location). Issue is only from local workstations/applicationserver alone. Enviornment is , Server – Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 64bit on RHEL 5.4 Client - Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 32 bit on Windows Xp. C:\Documents and Settings>sqlplus system/******@XXXX SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Wed May 12 11:11:39 2010 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options SQL> SQL> SQL> select * from v$session; It just stops there. Session won’t disconnect or any ORA-XXXX error. Done the following checks, -Initially thought of driver issue, so tried with multiple version of oracle client,toad,oracle sql developer but issue persists. - v$session shows that the above session in question is in status as “INACTIVE” and state as “WAITING” - tnsping from remote system and localsystem returns almost similar response time (600 msec - 670 msec) - Couldn’t find anything unusual in alert / trace also in listener log. - Since I am able to run some queries, no need to bother about firewall side. - Done some basic analysis using wireshark packet analyzer - couldn’t see any error. However could see that local system is getting “response data” from the database server. - MTU set to different size , 1500,1400,Default etc with no luck. I assume that it has something to do with network side. Your any inputs on troubleshooting this kind of issue will be very helpful for me. Thanks. G
