Hi, I'm trying to add support for IPv6, but keep failing when connecting via DBI:
DBI connect('host=2001:db8:c18:2:250:56ff:fead:2d92;sid=anadb;port=152 +1','ana38_admin',...) failed: ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_HOM +E (Linux) env var or PATH (Windows) and or NLS settings, permissions +, etc. at
I've tried adding the sqaure brackets [], with no success:
DBI connect('host=[2001:db8:c18:2:250:56ff:fead:2d92];sid=anadb;port=1 +521','ana38_admin',...) failed: ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_H +OME (Linux) env var or PATH (Windows) and or NLS settings, permissio +ns, etc.
Or "" :
DBI connect('host="2001:db8:c18:2:250:56ff:fead:2d92";sid=anadb;port=1 +521','ana38_admin',...) failed: ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_H +OME (Linux) env var or PATH (Windows) and or NLS settings, permissio +ns, etc.
Any ideas?
