BDE 5.10 problems with Oracle (ORA-01041)

I'm using the BDE 5.10 (with the latest Oracle driver update) on a server
that's running several Delphi 4 apps reading/writing to an Oracle 8i
database (in addition to SQL Server 6.5 databases). After a period of time,
let's say a day or two, all the apps start returning the following error on
intermittent Oracle SQL executions: "General SQL error. ORA-01041: internal
error. hostdef extension doesn't exist Alias: FDPublished". We're assuming
that the BDE has gone haywire in some way and we usually end up rebooting
the server.

Is this a problem with the BDE or is there something else that should be
checked to rectify this problem?

Thanks,
Steve

Additional details: I'm using the Oracle 8.0.3 client and the server is
running NT4 SP3 with 266 MHz clock, 256MB RAM and dual processors.

Re:BDE 5.10 problems with Oracle (ORA-01041)

Borland does not support 8.0.3 clients and also insist that the client and
server be the same level. Do you get the same problem using the 8i client that
is the same level as the 8i server?
