Hi Perlmonks, I'm trying to gte my first piece of data out of my Oracle database via the win32::ODBC connection (Sorry about the win32, but for now that's all I got). Everything seems to work fine except that I don't get any data (Which actually means that it is not working at all:). The SQL is tested directly on the base with SQL+ so no SQL syntax problems there. I think I'm testing for the connection stuff, but if any of you could give me a hint on how I can be 100% of the connection that would be a blast. Look at the code below: 
use Win32::ODBC;

$db = new Win32::ODBC("DSN=clamon.world;UID=scott;PWD=tiger");

if (!$db)
   {
    $Message = "The $DSB database is currently unavailable. Try again 
+later.";
    print $Message;
    exit();
   }

if ($db->Sql($Sql_test))
   {
    print "SQL failed.\n";
    print "Error: " . $db->Error() . "\n";
    $db->Close();
    exit;
   }

$db->Sql("SELECT * FROM EMP where EMPNO = 7900");

$db->FetchRow();
%hash = $db->DataHash;
foreach $key (sort(keys %hash)) {
    print $key, '=', $hash{$key}, "\n";
}

$db->Close();
