I'm using DBD::Oracle to read records from an Oracle database.
It's Oracle 8.1.6.2, DBI version 1.15, DBD::Oracle version 1.07.
The platform is Solaris 2.7.
When trussing my Perl process, I've noticed the following lines
between every record retrieved:
open("/usr/oracle/product/8.1.6/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msb", O_RDONLY) = 9
fcntl(9, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0
lseek(9, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(9, "1513 "011303\t\t\0\0\0\0".., 256) = 256
lseek(9, 512, SEEK_SET) = 512
read(9, "1C88 YBB xCE\0\0\0\0\0\0".., 512) = 512
lseek(9, 1024, SEEK_SET) = 1024
read(9, "\018\0 $\0 7\0 @\0 J\0 V".., 512) = 512
lseek(9, 39936, SEEK_SET) = 39936
read(9, "\0\t0519\0\0\0 >051A\0\0".., 512) = 512
close(9) = 0
Can anyone explain what is going on here? This file hasn't changed
since July. Why is it being read for every record?
