DBI_USER and DBI_PASS are applied as defaults in DBI->connect() so, if set, they'll be applied before the driver gets a chance to consider what to do. It's the $drh->default_user() method that looks up the env vars. That method isn't documented, which is a bug in itself. > I think the DBD::Oracle README does exactly what it said.
