Can you help. I am running the latest version of DBI on Linux. The Linux server has 3 Oracle 8.1.6 databases running on it. From perl CGI I am attempting to connect to one of these databases. This is when strange things seem to be hapenning.
Instead of Connecting to the local database (dbname = bille, ORACLE_SID = ORCL) DBI is connecting to another database on a remote server (dbname = bille, ORACLE_SID = ORCL). I have checked and double checked tnsnames.ora and the IP address entry for the local billie is correct and there is no entry for the remote database. Is this a bug in DBI? If so is there a patch or a cunning way around this? Gary Fletcher Senior Analyst Programmer Ticscali UK Work: 0870 7400977 Mobile: 07764212838
