When we were experiencing space leaks related to distributed queries MS
support told us that MS does not support MSDAORA and to use the OraOledb
provider.  There is also no 64 bit version of MSDAORA and according to
the last document I reviewed at MS support, MS has no plans to create on
as the Oracle provider is recommended.

Connectivity Question
        
        

        We had a similar problem with db links from sql2005 to ora10.2;
I initially used msdaora.dll.  It caused errors: WARNING: inbound
connection timed out (ORA-3136)

        And eventually prevented new oracle logins; this is fixed in
10.2.0.4.  Switching to the OraOledb.oracle provider fixed the problem
until we can patch.

Question

         

        We have a VB app using MSDAORA.DLL that doesn't seem to be
disconnecting from the DB even though we have a connection close command
in the VB program.

         

        Any of you seen something like this?  We're eating up our
"OPEN_CURSOR" count for this session as it process a lot of events and
then finally errors out. 

         

        I really think the problem is that the "OpenConnection" command
from VB isn't getting sucessfully closed and reconnected.

         

        Thoughts?
