Hi,
I am having problems with DBD::Sybase when execute() blocks and never
returns - don't know for sure if it's the driver or maybe the client
library (I am using DBI 1.14, DBD::Sybase 0.91 and Sybase server 11.0.3 on
Linux). Once in a while - approximately once per every 10,000 SQL queries
- could be select, or update, or insert, execute() would block and just
sit there forever until the process is killed. I worked around this by
specifying timeout parameter in DSN and retrying execute if failed on
timeout - unfortunately this isn't perfect since when it fails on insert,
the data may have been pushed to DB already and the second insert with the
same data will fail in most cases because of data integrity constraints.
I tried downgrading DBD::Sybase to a few last versions, didn't seem to
help. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or will it help if I
switch to Sybase server 12.0?
Thanks
