I am not sure that your version of DBD::Oracle is current either. If your version of Perl is 5.8.0, that too is archaic (Jul 2002); if it is 5.8.8, you are OK (Jan 2006), though you should review why 5.10.0 is not an option. Given that you are not using DBD::Informix, I am not able to offer a lot more help. The memory leak test in DBD::Informix::TestHarness could probably be adapted to work with DBD::Oracle - it basically invokes a function and monitors how the Perl process grows, and the content of the function doesn't actually matter, so it could exercise DBD::Oracle as well as DBD::Informix. Be aware that the options to 'ps' work on Solaris and may not work on your platform. Note that you've not mentioned the platform you are running on (operating system, hardware), nor the version of Oracle that you are using -- if you were using DBD::Informix, I would be after you for that information too. When I say "which versions of everything", everything most definitely includes the operating system and the DBMS access package (OCI for Oracle; ESQL/C for Informix). It isn't a bad idea to include the C compiler, either. Further discussion of this must be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, the first instructions given will be 'upgrade to current versions' -- people have very limited interest in debugging ancient versions of the software.
