Hi,
I am testing DBD::Oracle on the following environment: - Solaris 8 - Oracle 9.0.1 - perl 5.8.0 - DBI-1.30 - DBD-Oracle-1.12 Compiling DBD-Oracle fails because it uses 64-bit libs instead of 32-bit ones (has already been discussed here). After fixing this, it compiles, but gives the following results (I don't use scott/tiger account): make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /export/home/ostkamp/usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/base.......ok t/general....ok t/long.......ok 70/143Unable to create test table for 'CLOB' data (3001).

These are generally Oracle bugs. Please report this to the dbi-users mailing list, and include the Oracle version number of both the client and the server. Please also include the output of the 'perl -V' command. (If you can, please study t/long.t to investigate the cause. Feel free to edit the tests to see what's happening in more detail. t/long.......NOK 141Especially by adding trace() calls around the failing tests.
