Hi,

I think this is the right place to talk about this matter. I have a perl script which accesses the Oracle database. Now I get a strange error there, saying that the query prepare failed. The exact error is as follows. 

DBD::Oracle::db prepare failed: ERROR Database disconnected 
[for Statement ...

My problem is, this only happens when I go to one script from another script. (i.e. In the first script I can access the database and it works fine. But when the navigation moves to the second script, the query preparation doesn't work. But the database connects successfully).

It doesn't give errors in the query ( eg:table does not exist) even when I put a completely incorrect query. It simply says that the prepare failed. And also this doesn't work even for a simple query like, 'select ename from company'.

can anybody help me with this?

Thanks,

Thilani
