Using the following version of Perl: This is perl, v5.8.2 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) ... Binary build 808 provided by ActiveState Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com ActiveState is a division of Sophos. Built Dec 9 2003 10:19:40 Orace client is 8.1.7. MS ODBC Driver for Oracle is 2.575.1022.00 I have a column defined as VERSION_NR NUMBER(2,1) The Microsoft driver seems to truncate it so all I get is 2 when the value is 2.5. The ODBC driver supplied by Oracle works okay but is real slow. The DBI:Oracle crashes but I still get output. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Warning: If you have received this email in error, please advise the sender and delete the message and attachments immediately. �This email, including attachments, may contain confidential, legally privileged and/or copyright information, the unauthorised use of which is prohibited.
