Hello,

I'm getting an error when I try to open a new sequence using Berkeley
DB 4.5.20.

I tried compiling and running the provided Java example:
examples_java\src\db\SequenceExample.java

Here's the error that I received:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#

# Problematic frame:

hs_err_pid268.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

#

I can provide the contents of the error report file if needed.

Note that I'm running this using Java jre1.5.0_10.

What might be causing this error? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick Johnson

Hi,

You should apply the patches available for the 4.5.20 release, and
rebuild the Berkeley DB library. There is a fix for creating sequences
created through the Java API.

Patches available here:

Thanks for your help.

I'm running on Windows XP and don't have the tools to rebuild the
Berkeley DB library. Is this patch included in the latest release
build? Or is there another place where I can get the library with the
patch applied?

Thanks for the note about using the OTN forums for future questions.
I'll do that.

Thanks,
Patrick
