Why is that a problem for you?

If you are running some kind of Unix, process 1 is init ("the parent of all processes"), new processes with a parent id of 1 are simply new, independant process groups, that do not get killed when the process group with your perl script is killed. (I think this is an isolated transaction-handling process forked by the oracle client library.) man 2 setsid

If you are running Windows, ID 1 is NOT special.

Hi all,

My system is running an Oracle10G server with PERL DBI, whenever I run
the perl scripts with DBD connect, there will be an Oracle sub-process
with parent ID of 1.  Normally, the sub-process should have a parent ID
= pid of the perl script.  Running any other scripts with SQL*PLUS is
behaving normal though.

Does anyone have experience the same problem before?

Thanks,
Alan
