I am using the Perl version 5.005_02, DBD::ASAny::VERSION = '1.12' and ASA 9.0.0.
Fetching BIGINT failed when they contained more than 8 digits. I have a workaround by converting the BIGINT to VARCHAR using convert(). But this conversion is not possible for all kinds of customized SQL Statements. I have also tried to upgrade the DBD:: ASAny VERSION 1.13. But the recommended Perl version for this upgrade is 5.6.0 and I am not ready to upgrade the perl version.
You certainly aren't rushing into things. Your version is over 6 years old and the latest release (5.8.6) is over 6 months old. Your are going to run into this problem more and more often. The latest versions of DBI require 5.6.1, for example.
Is there any fix for this issue without upgrading the Perl version? If so, please kindly let me know ASAP.
Probably not. One major reason for new releases is to fix bugs and expand capabilities. It's unlikely anyone will remember enough about such old versions to be much help.
Please note that this discussion doesn't belong on dbi-dev and the dbi-*-help addresses are for problems with the mailing list, not DBI questions.
