Re: Strawberry Perl 64bit on Win7 crashes on DBI-function

You mention in this thread this is to connect to DB2. It reminds me of a problem i had at a large company using DB2 for LUW.

The database and the corporate approved drivers were different versions, causing more than one interesting crash. One case (due to a bug in my code) returned an index out of range error, but when called from VB brought down the server! DB2 can be temperamental. How the calling program mattered, i do not know.

Because of this strange error, i would suggest that you check that the versions match up between server and client.

Thank you, i will look into that. Problem is, that i don't work in the IT-department. So it's a matter of actually getting the necessary information. It seems what i am experiencing is not really/merely a perl problem...	[reply]

You should be able to check the version of the database by logging into it, and of the driver by checking the properties panel.	[reply]
