in thread PERL DBI and oracle

I did not see any explicit ERROR line in the trace call. I had done with 2 earlier. Like you suggested i raised it to 3, but didnt see anything extra. The variable "sid" in the DBI->connect, does that refer to the database i am tryin to connect to or somekind of an ID of the DATABASE?

    I'm not an Oracle guy, but a google search reveals that the Oracle SID is the System Identifier, and collectively, the configured SIDs can be found in the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file.

    Take a look at this old link and see if the info proves helpful at all. Good luck!

    Where do you want *them* to go today?
