Hallo, I tried a select - statement in an oracle database via a DBI connection. I included DBI in my perl script. The connect worked correctly as well as the 'prepare' - method. Then the ececute method failed with following error message: 'Can't locate object method "execute" via package "DBI::db" at ...' (an insert statement via the 'do' method worked) And this is the code: 
use warnings;
use DBI;

my($dbh, $sql, $res, @result, $kennz, $dbiServiceName);

$dbiServiceName = "DBI:Oracle:prod";

$dbh = DBI->connect($dbiServiceName,"ibis01","ibis01");

if (defined($dbh))
{
  $sql = "select * from test";
  $res = $dbh->prepare($sql);
  $res = $dbh->execute();
  @result = $dbh->fetchrow_array();
  $dbh->disconnect();
}

What can be the reason? R.B.

In reply to Execute in DBI fails by rb_rb
