I have been having problems with Oracle9i OLAP server and I thought
I'd see if anyone has any insight into it.

Here's the situation. I downloaded Oracle 9i from
"http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html" onto my Windows XP
desktop. I made a JDBC Connection to Oracle 9i and attempt to process
the sample metadata of the "SH" schema (which comes with Oracle) using
a program very similar to the one found at:

http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/wls/...e8.htm#1004288

I am able to make the initial connection and access the
MdmMetadataProvider, but when I make the "mp.getRootSchema()" call I
see the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error seems to result from the fact that the database itself has
crashed, and needs to be restarted.

I could find nothing in the database's "alert log" to indicate the
root cause of this problem, nor have I have found anything online that
specifically deals with it. If anyone has any insight into this I
would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.
