Re^4: Errors during "make test" of DBD::Sybase

Sorry, was off all day Monday and Tuesday morning.

You wanted me to do this, right?

else { 
    print "ok 7\n";     
    ($sth->err == 208)                  
        and print "ok 8\n"
            or print "not ok 8\n";
[download]

Same result - "not ok 8"

Re^5: Errors during "make test" of DBD::Sybase by Bone_Scavenger (Novice) on Oct 19, 2004 at 17:10 UTC
Michael had an offline discussion with someone from Sybase. They suggested that I try building the "firstapp" Open Client sample program and change the select to a non-existent table (to trigger a 208 error), to see if I get the msg text. I did that, and here's the output: `Server message: number(5701) severity(10) state(2) line(0) Server name: SQLLAM01 Changed database context to 'master'. Server message: number(208) severity(16) state(1) line(1) Server name: SQLLAM01 pubs2..authors not found. Specify owner.objectname or use sp_h +elp to check whether the object exists (sp_help may produce l.` [download] Since I see the message text, I'm guessing that my Open Client installation is working fine. Does that mean it's a Perl or DBI::Sybase problem? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l]

We finally (after much searching) found the problem. DBD::Sybase detects that it is being built in a 64bit mode, and in that situation adds -DSYB_LP64 to the compile line. This is needed to get proper 64bit mode for Sybase's libraries and include files - except on Tru-64/OSF-1/Dec Unix! Removing the -DSYB_LP64 fixes the problem. I'll add the appropriate change to the Makefile.PL for the next release. Michael	[reply]
