Subject: Fw: ORA-3135 Fixed by PC Restart
  


Hi Tim / List,
 
I'm getting ORA-03135 from JDBC (SQL*Developer v.3.0).  Using SQL*Plus instead 
returns (when it fails) ORA-01041: internal error hostdef extension doesn't 
exist.   The errors occur at the same time on SQL*Developer and SQL*Plus so 
these appear to be different manifestations of the same problem.

I've discounted a load problem on the database as other PC clients are not 
having this problem, the server is practically idle, and the session fails to 
connect after just 20 seconds, not the CONNECT_TIMEOUT value I specified (of 
several minutes).   This, along with the fact that a PC restart fixes it, is 
why I think the problem is on the client side.  But equally the client can 
still connect to all other databases fine while having a problem with just this 
one.   Which leaves me confused...!  

Charlotte
