I wasn't able to find out what a DBMS is (DataBase Management System?), but I was using PostGreSQL 6.5 with Perl 5.3 (5.005.3). I can't recall the version of Tie::DBI, but I installed it in March, so it would be 0.8x. Oh yeah, OS. Debian potato, kernel 2.2.18, running on a P-one hundred and something with 32 MB ram. The author of Tie::DBI does state in the docs that DBD::Pg is broken when dealing with NULL values, but DBI with DBD::Pg seems to cope fine so I don't know what's wrong there. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.

Hmmm. Are you segfaulting under Apache or are you running your process from the command line or cron? If you are segfaulting under Apache and you are using mod_perl, you should upgrade mod_perl to v 1.24. Earlier versions have serious problems. Also, Is there a reason you have not yet upgraded your Perl to 5.6? My generic advice is to check the CPAN and upgrade your modules (such as DBD:Pg, DBI, mod_perl, and any others). Let me know if you get any joy from this.	[reply]

The reason I wasn't upgrading earlier was that I was running Debian stable (Potato). Now that Woody is nearly ready for release, I've upgraded to that. Everything is shiny and new and I'm happy(albiet Tie::DBI-less). The changeover gave me a chance to rejig some routines and speed them up a bit, so I don't miss it. If only Dominus had released his EZDBI three days earlier I'd be ecstatic. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]
