Dear All,
We have created a WinForm application that uses OLEDB to connect to
Oracle DB. The Oracle client version is 8.1.6 and the Oracle DB version
is 10g...sometimes we randomly get errors like <Object reference error>
<Unable to retrieve error text for [0]>
The following are the stack strace information...
InnerException: Unable to retrieve error text for [0]
Stack Trace: at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ProcessResults(Int32
hr)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.InitializeCommand(CommandBehavior
behavior, Boolean throwifnotsupported)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteCommand(CommandBehavior
behavior, Object& executeResult)
at
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteReaderInternal(CommandBehavior
behavior, String method)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
at itbAS.Foundation.SQLHandle.ExecuteNonQuery(String sql)
Source: OraOLEDB
Extra Information:
Unable to retrieve error text for [0]

Or sometimes we get this error...
InnerException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stack Trace: at System.Data.Common.ICommandText.SetCommandText(Guid
rguidDialect, String pwszCommand)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.InitializeCommand(CommandBehavior
behavior, Boolean throwifnotsupported)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteCommand(CommandBehavior
behavior, Object& executeResult)
at
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteReaderInternal(CommandBehavior
behavior, String method)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
at itbAS.Foundation.SQLHandle.ExecuteNonQuery(String sql)
Source: System.Data
Extra Information:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It mostly fails at this query...
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss'

Is this the problem with the OLEDB driver? Or...

Please help...

Thanks & regards
Sunil

Which OLEDB provider are you using? Oracle's or Microsoft's?

I am using the OLEDB provider of Oracle. This is my connection string
Connection string: Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;User
ID=AUTHMAN;PLSQLRSet=1; Data Source=MANESDB;

The oracle client version is 8.1.6...

Thanks & regards

It's really difficult to tell why this might be happening. The "Object reference not set" error
would seem to indicate that there is a problem with your Command object. Can you post the code where
the query in question is being executed?
