Hello all,
I've run across an interesting difference running DBI under Solaris and
Linux,
and I was hoping to get some clarification of this issue.
Under Solaris, when setting the LongReadLen, I have to put it on the DB
handle.
$db->{dbh}->{LongReadLen} = 429497294;
When I run the exact same set of scripts under Linux, I have to put it on
the statement handle.
$sth->{LongReadLen} = 429497294;
This is the only difference that I have to make in order to convince the
scripts to execute correctly.
The query is trying to retrieve a BLOB from the Database.
As a side note, I have conferred with a friend of mine that ran into
something very similar, his Solaris machine was not running a proxy though.
I'm sorry, but I don't have his environment specs.
Now the environment.
Solaris --
perl -v reports
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for sun4-solaris
uname -a
SunOS 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
dbi proxy is 1.19 connecting to Plserver v1.14 running on Linux.
Linux --
Linux 2.2.19 #2 Tue Aug 7 14:29:32 CDT 2001 i686 unknown
perl -v reports
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i686-linux
If any more information is needed to assist anyone in figuring out what
this is all about, I'll be happy to offer it.
Thanks,
Jason Smith
