in thread Perl DBI-Related Error - really in the weeds

It worked in mysql or Oracle? (and how do you know it worked if you can't get it working?)

Update: And some quick googling tells me that DESCRIBE is a SQL*Plus command, but not valid SQL. You can maybe use the DBI table_info method (or column_info? I don't know, I've never used either one) or select from one of the Oracle *_TABLES (*=DBA|ALL|USER) tables.

    It worked in oracle. I went into sqlplus from the server that has the oracle database and entered the sql command there.
