Someone I was helping with an install hit exactly the same problem this week, on 8.1.7 and I believe 9.2.0 also. This error often indicates a driver/DB problem of sorts... the problem went away after they switched to using the 2.7 release of the nsoracle driver (available as a tarball from the AOLServer sourceforge page), instead of the version built from latest code obtained via CVS. So, has anyone else come across this? Does this mean that the current version of nsoracle is broken with OpenACS?!?
