I've developed some DBI applications (on my notebook), and using a DBI connect string like this..

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:host=$SERVER;sid=$SID", $UID, $PWD);
[download]

and it works fine. I put it into production, and the script fails. I then have to change the code like this

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:host=$SERVER;sid=$SID;uid=$UID;pwd=$PW
+D");
[download]

What's the deal?

Thanks!

Don't -- me without telling me why. If you asked a stupid question, I wouldn't down vote you.
