So you jump from oracle 9 to Oracle 11, which probably took over 7 hours to complete, but you are still at perl-5.6.1 (released on 2001-04-08), DBI-1.21 (released 2002-02-07) and DBD::Oracle-1.06 (released 2000-07-14).

Current is perl-5.14.2, DBI-1.616, and DBD::Oracle-1.34. Maybe, just maybe, these new versions might have "fixed" issues with these newer Oracle releases.

I do not know exactly when exactly Oracle-11 was released, but I'm sure it was waaaaaaay later than 14-07-2000.

I am very very sure noone will fix this bug for you with these old versions.

update: Here is the Oracle release scheme (published 2008-11-11):

Release     Released
Oracle 6    1988     
Oracle 7    1992     
Oracle 8    1997     
Oracle 8i   1998     
Oracle 9i   2001     
Oracle 10g  2004     
Oracle 11g  2007

There is no way bugs in DBD::Oracle (or DBI) related to Oracle released later than the versions you use could have been fixed/tested before this newer version was available to test with.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
