fails with an ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number on 18c PRO*C

Noel McCuskerSep 19 2019 — edited Sep 24 2019

Hi,

We recently upgraded to Oracle 18c. We are getting problems running pro*c code now that used to work fine at 12c.

The errors seem to be around the use of indicator variables.

We are getting the error:

ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number

Oracle Database 18c Standard Edition 2 Release 18.0.0.0.0 - Production Version 18.7.0.0.0

Solaris 11.3 SPARC

Thanks for any help

Not experienced with the windows implementation, only on linux ... but maybe it may help ...
cx_Oracle is only the bridge between python and the oci interfaces of Oracle, an exposure of the c-api's towards python.
On linux you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to the location where the oracle client libraries can be found. (typically something linke libclntsh.so.*). So ... I guess that on a windows environment the client dll's should be in the path (%PATH%) ... Hope somebody can confirm or correct this. Maybe it may help ...
