Well you DBI is about 55+ updates behind and your DBD::Oracle is about 13 behind. I would say update both. The error below is telling my you are still using a very old way to connect to Oracle which I think has been dropped in 11+ and dropped from DBD::Oracle in I think 1.11 hope this

It would help if you could include os type. But to answer your question 1) no, but it helps when troubleshooting. Usually if sqlplus works, then you know that the client libraries/software and connnectivity is good. 2) depends on the os of choice. Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 15:50:41 +0100

SQL*Plus is not required to connect from Perl, unless you would like to run SQL*Plus as a piped process or with expect from within Perl. You will need to (at a minimum) install an Oracle client on the machine running the Perl scripts, along with the DBI and DBD::Oracle modules. The README files

But beware that setting ORACLE_HOME to a different version to the one that's supplying the Oracle client library (via LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc) is likely to cause problems, like not being able to get the text of an error message, or worse. Tim. On Wed, Sep 18, 2002 at 01:28:20PM -0400, [EMAIL

I am pretty sure this is supposed to reside in /etc. I know that on our HP-UX boxes the tnsnames.ora is in /etc and we use Perl for some database access. -Original Message- From: Sridhar Saragu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 8:24 AM To: [EMAIL

The Oracle client looks for tnsnames.ora in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. We typically set the Perl variable $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} to the location of the Oracle installation in our database connection modules prior to any attempt to open a database connection. -dpf-

What error did the DBI give you ($DBI::errstr that you are outputting to STDOUT)? Also use DBI-trace(2, "filename") and then look in the "filename" file for the trace of the process. Send that file in if you can't see the problem. Ilya Sterin -Original Message- From: Mitch Clarvit To:
