We are running Oracle 10.2.0 under Linux.

How can I stop the Pro*C compiler from producing what look like
temporary files? They are created in groups of three and are all
empty. Here are some examples:

-rw------- 1 z005218 users 0 May 24 13:54 tpCzy2vx
-rw------- 1 z005218 users 0 May 24 13:54 tpIVsHCX
-rw------- 1 z005218 users 0 May 24 13:54 tpYMEmzf

Thanks in advance for your help.

are these files generated when you compile some program or what ?

Run the precompiler under strace -o /tmp/proc.out -e trace=file and you
should be able to see what's going on. As the the groups of three, haven't
you ever seen "Charmed"? It's the power of three.

Mladen,

Thanks for telling me about strace, I will be using this tool in the
future for sure.

What strace told me about this problem in particular is that there
seems to have been a bug in the 10.2.0.1.0 Pro*C precompiler that was
not cleaning up some temp files. The 10.2.0.3.0 version does not have
this problem, as I ran strace on systems with both Oracle versions.

So I guess the power of three, as in the third version of 10.2, is
charmed.
