Hello All, We have an Oracle 10gAS middle-tier server that connects to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database in dedicated server mode. A consultant told me that in shared server mode the Oracle dispatcher will sometimes (but very rarely) send packets to the wrong process on the Oracle 10gAS Apache side. If this were to take place then that would certainly create problems. Given this, is anybody running the shared server mode from Oracle 10gAS to the database? If so, is it working well for you? Have you ever encountered such a problem or heard of such a problem. We are running Oracle database 10.2.0.4 on AIX and Oracle 10gAS on Windows 2003. Thanks, Sam Bootsma Oracle Database Administrator
