Chris: Thanks for your response. The reason I think this might be a DBI/DBD question is that the SQL works in under 1 second from locally-connected SQL*Plus, remote-connected SQL*Plus, and TOAD. Only in Perl is it going away and never returning. I have tried setting SQL_TRACE; no joy. I've tried setting TraceLevel => 2 (or 4); no joy (lots of information, but no joy).
Thanks, Mike ______________________________________________________________________________ Michael P.
