Levels 1 and 2 are reserved for the *DBI*. Then at least DBD::Oracle and DBD::Unify are not complying to that requirement. DBD::Unify uses 2 and up, but DBD::Oracle uses 1 and up I'm willing to raise all my levels with one if all driver authors line up. Next DBD::Unify release will have more changes that need reading for the users, as I now support type_info_all () and get_info (), causing other methods to sometimes behave different (sometimes wrong, see other post about tables ()) BTW what is the magic in value -1 from DBI's trace? package DBD::Switch::dr; sub STORE { my ($drh, $key, $value) = @_; if ($key eq "DebugDispatch") { DBI->trace ($value); } elsif ($key eq "DebugLog") { DBI->trace (-1, $value); } else { $drh->DBD::_::dr::STORE ($key, $value); } } # STORE Neither DebugDispatch nor DebugLog are described in the man pages > BTW, I've only replied to dbi-dev as it looked like all of the cc list > are on it and I don't like getting every posting twice.
