The script and specs you provided are not enough to make any reasonable
recommendation.  Also you might want to run a trace DBI->trace(2,
"trace.log") on your script and retrive after the freeze up.  The file might
get pretty large, but look towards the bottom of trace.log once the script
stops functioning.

Subject: DBI Freezeup?

A little bit a a peculiar situation I am running into...

I have a script that I wrote that runs in an endless while loop.  the
structure is basically like this:

ConnectToDB();
while(1) {
        do all my stuff in here...
}

The script works fine... except that every once in a while, the database
connection seems to lock up.  The script will not die, but instead will
just stop functioning at a point where there was a database action
hapenning via the DBI.

I am using an Oracle DB, version 8.1.6.3.0
My DBI Version is 1.14
My DBD::Oracle version is 1.06
I am working on a Solaris 7 machine.

I am going to get my versions of DBI and DBD upgraded today.  I was just
wondering if anyone had seen this problem before, and if anyone knew
what
caused it and what I could do to fix it...
