Using the advice recently broadcast by ldl@LDL.HealthPartners.COM (sorry ldl, don't know your name) I've got ZOracleDA/DCOracle working with Zope2 and Oracle 8.0.5 under RedHat 5.2. Great stuff but ..... ...... _every_ first use of a query from Zope to the Oracle database gives the error messages listed below. Re-loading the page in the browser _always_ makes the query work OK (and the query will work OK subsequently). As it stands it's a bit of a show-stopper and I would dearly welcome suggestions of how to solve the problem (being a Python babe in the wood). TIA Paul

From the shell window from which Zope was started:

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: <exceptions.AttributeError instance at 84f71d0> in <method Transaction.__del__ of Transaction instance at 84d9d00> ignored

From the browser:
