My apologies to everyone for my lack of expertise - this forum has certainly taught me
a lot about Perl. I have a new assignment which involves connecting to an Oracle
8.1.5 database which resides on a Novell Netware 5.1 server on a seperate volume
called "Oracle" then the "SYS" volume for all you Novell guru's. The version of Perl
being used is 5.003_07 (Netware build #333).
My code fails on the DBI connect statement:
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$sid",$user,$password {
RaiseError => 1 }) or die "Can't connect:$DBI::errstr\n";
I have tried 2 other approaches to this statement:
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=$host;sid=$sid",$user,$password {
RaiseError => 1 }) or die "Can't connect:$DBI::errstr\n";
-AND-
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$tnsname",$user,$password {
RaiseError => 1 }) or die "Can't connect:$DBI::errstr\n";
I would appreciate any suggestions to get the code to work. I wish I could check
error messages, but being so new to the Novell operating system, I don't know where to
look for the logs.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch Clarvit
