Asked a question yesterday but I don't think I worded it very well so heres another try.
I want to do an 'external connection' (i.e., No user or password supplied in DBI->connect ) from a single script to multiple versions of Oracle ( Oracle 8 & 10 ). What I have found so far is that Oracle.pm built againt the 10 client works great with the wallet (No user or password supplied in DBI->connect ) but will not connect to 8 without a username/password. Oracle.pm built against 8 works great with Oracle 8 when doing an 'external connection' (i.e., No user or password supplied in DBI->connect ) but will not connect to 10 without a username/password. Each version of Oracle uses a different mechanism to do an 'external connect' and they seem to have opted for NO backward compatibility in this regard. Anyone solved this ? Thanks.
