After upgrading my Oracle 9.2.0.4 installation to 9.2.0.7 I am now unable to drop users. I receive the following error messages when logged in as system.

SQL> drop user LM_90_BETA_SPARC3 cascade;
drop user LM_90_BETA_SPARC3 cascade
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxiUnpPacked2], [121], [], [], [],
[], [], []

In case it makes a difference the installation is on Windows 2000 machine.

Regards, Tracy

Thanks Mahesh,

I had already run the catpatch.sql script numerous times, however this time I followed the links to related documents

339070.1 -> 222876.1 -> 235423.1 ->

which finally linked to an updated xdbpatch.sql script in doc 237305.1

after updating the script and re-running catpatch.sql I am now getting further in the process, however I am still receiving errors and unable to drop my users

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-01038: cannot write database file version 9201 with ORACLE version 9202

I can find no workaround for this one in metalinks and I am not at all sure where the 9201 and 9202 versions are coming from. I believe I have run all of the upgrade steps multiple times, each time without errors from the scripts.

I see one thing that apparently has not been upgraded to 9.2.0.7 - Oracle Workspace Manager.

SQL> column comp_name format a35
SQL> select comp_name, status, substr(version,1,10) as version
2 from dba_registry;

COMP_NAME STATUS VERSION
----------------------------------- ----------- ----------
Oracle9i Catalog Views VALID 9.2.0.7.0

15 rows selected.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Regards, Tracy.

What a mess!!.
Just curious, what is the value of parameter COMPATIBLE?
Also, did you check up with the shared_pool recomendation in one of the recomended docs?
If nothing works, I would open a TAR.
Regards

compatible 9.2.0.0.0

yup, followed the shared_pool recommendations.

Thanks for the help, at this time I guess I might need to talk to Oracle Tech Support,

Tracy.

Good day,

I am getting the same error as you did. Did you ever get a resolution? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

ie: upgrade 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.7
Now can't DROP users... can't CREATE users...
Getting ORA-01001 invalid cursor error.

ORA-01038: cannot write database file version string with ORACLE version string

Cause: Attempting to write datafile headers in an old format. The new format can not be used until after the database has been verified as being compatible with this software version.

Action: Open the database to advance to the new file formats, then repeat the operation. If the operation is required before the database can be opened, then use the previous software release to do the operation.

Did you ever get a work around for the ORA-01038: cannot write database file version... error. I received it trying to upgrade from 9i to 10g.
I'm working with support now but we have not come up with anything yet.

Thanks

I had the same problem, unable to drop the user after upgrade and running the catpatch.sql.

Created new user and dropped the user and then i am able to drop all the users.

It worked for me and i am not sure this will help everyone.

Goodluck
