If you use an Oracle 9.2 client to access an Oracle 9.1 database, data corruption might occur when a number column follows a timestamp column.
The problem might be caused by using the ojdbc14.jar file with an Oracle 9.1 database. Applying the patch might assist in addressing the situation on Solaris 32-bit machines, that run an Oracle 9.1 database. This JDBCTM driver is for Oracle working with JDKTM 1.4.
Workaround: Obtain the patch that Oracle might make available from the Oracle Web site for Bug 2199718 and apply it to your server.
