Oracle, External Exception C0000008, Access Violation, Vendor initialization failure. Q: I get a Vendor Initialization error, an Access Violation with Delphi 3, or an External Exception C0000008 error with Delphi 2 with the v2.3.3 Oracle SQL NET clientwhen connecting to an Oracle server when in Delphi's IDE or Turbo Debugger with NT4. If I run the application alone, it executes correctly. How do I get around this problem? A: Borland has determined that this is a problem with SQL NET 2.3.3. Oracle also recognizes this as a SQL NET problem. 1.Start Oracle's Installer and remove the "Oracle Trace Collection Serveces 7.3.3.x.x" 2.Rename or remove the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\OTRACE73 3.Turn off Integrated Debugging in Delphi's IDE 4.Use an Oracle SQL NET that is older than 2.3.3 The problem seems to be somewhere within OTRACE73.DLL.
