Hi,

Even if invalid data is entered to the field, personally I think this 
might qualify for an SR ( looks like a bug ) . The server-client 
connection should not terminate even if invalid data is entered / queried.

Thank You,

Kind Regards,
Sreejith Nair

We saw this before when invalid data got entered into a field.  There was 
a number field that somehow had a special character entered and every time 
the field was queried it gave us this error.  Took all night to figure 
out.

ORA-03113 means your session and the server process have stopped talking. 
This shouldn't happen in your situation. Of course if you have further 
complications (like it's not a table but a complex view, or there's a VPD 
function or....) then there maybe a specifc bug/issue that you hit. In 
either case the trace files mentioned earlier should give you more info

Hi all,

Does someone know what this error mean?
"end-of-file on communication channel"

I have the following table, with no rows stored:

name            | data_type | nullable | data_default  | data_length
--------------- + --------- + -------- + ------------- + -----------
COD_MALATTIA    | NVARCHAR2 | Y        | NULL          | 20
COD_MATRICE     | NVARCHAR2 | Y        | NULL          | 20
COD_NAZIONE     | NVARCHAR2 | Y        | NULL          | 6
DATA_FINE       | DATE      | Y        | NULL          | 11
DATA_INIZIO     | DATE      | N        | CURRENT_DATE  | 11
ID              | NUMBER    | N        | NULL          | 38
ID_MACELLAZIONE | NUMBER    | N        | NULL          | 38

I tried these queries:

select count(*) from restrizione where COD_MALATTIA    is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione where COD_MATRICE     is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione where COD_NAZIONE     is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione where DATA_INIZIO     is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione where ID              is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione where ID_MACELLAZIONE is not null
count(*)
--------
0

select count(*) from restrizione
count(*)
--------
0

but this one raises the error

select count(*) from restrizione where DATA_FINE       is not null
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Only when I use DATA_FINE column in the WHERE clause it raise the error.
what's wrong with this column?

Thanks for any help.
