I am repeatedly seeing this error in an area of my application and I am unable to diagnose why I am seeing it. Here is a snippet of what I see in the DB Mon log File:

Code: Select all

  9/10/2010 4:09:21 PM 0.016 Connection is returned to pool. Pool has 2 connection(s). Complete

  9/10/2010 4:09:26 PM 0.000 Connection is returned to pool. Pool has 1 connection(s). Complete

And the ORACLE error is: ORA-01453: SET TRANSACTION must be first statement of transaction

I cannot see why this is happening - any tips on what else I can do to diagnose what is going on?

Thank you for the report, we are investigating the issue.
I will post here about the results of our investigation.

I have made some tests with TransactionScope and connection pool but failed to reproduce the problem.
For example, the following code worked OK:

Code: Select all

      OracleMonitor mon = new OracleMonitor();
      mon.IsActive = true;
      mon.TraceEvent += new Devart.Common.MonitorEventHandler(mon_TraceEvent);
      for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
        using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope()) {
          using (Entities db = new Entities()) {
            Dept d = new Dept
            {
              Deptno = 90 + i,
              Dname = "pooling"
            };
            db.AddToDepts(d);
            db.SaveChanges();
          }
          ts.Complete();
        }

Max pool size was set to 2.
Could you please either make some modifications in the following code to reproduce the problem, or to send us a small test project illustrating the problem?
