<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone know if there are any known issue with stunnel 4.05 and oracle 10g (especially in retrieving blobs) ? . Our application uses stunnel to communicate with oracle database. We are currently experiencing massive performance degradation after upgrading oracle from 9i to 10g (almost 6 times slower from what it was in 9i). Our application stores some data in blobs this seems to be the root cause of slower performance. Pls can someone let me know if there are any known issues with stunnel and 10g blob retrieving ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also If an upgrade is recommended, which is the stable version we must be switching to?</FONT>
