2806.0. "Troubles with Motif and Oracle on DS3100" by AIDA::CARCANO (Matteo Carcano, Italian ACT Milan) Wed May 23 1990 06:56

I've a problem developing a prototype for a customer where BL1 Motif for RISC
and Oracle v6.0 should cohexist. The application creates a Motif interface and
contains SQL statements in order to access the Oracle database.
Unfortunately I can't make it work. As soon as I add the DB part to the 
application, it crashes giving an error message like:

Connection #3 to server closed
Broken pipe

(or something like this).

Unfortunately I'm not a Unix system programmer and hence it's very difficult 
for me to give more details to describe the error unless someone asks me for 
something specific.

Has anyone already faced such a problem? Can anyone give me an help?

Thanks a lot,

Matteo

I don't know why you get into trouble. To avoid the problems I would have split
the program in two (client/server) and use DECrpc (remote procedure calls)
between them (I don't know how well DECrpc and Oracle would go together either).
The client would handle the Motif user interface and call the server via DECrpc
which would do the database access.
