Webmaster Forum / Perl / DBI Library / July 2004

Michael,
This also happened to me on HP-UX 11.0 with perl 5.8.0, and with versions 12.0 and 12.5.1 of the OpenClient libraries.  Output from 2_ct_xblk.t follows.
Sybperl version 2.16 builds fine with either version of OC.
thanks,

Installing Sybase::BCP 1.70 we get a core dump and Segmentation Fault during
the 'make test'. This is a 64 bit build on perl v5.8.0 / SunOS 5.8. Any
ideas?

I have a script which makes use of the DBD interface.  I am
intermittantly getting a situation where the script stops and all I see
is the messaged killed.  I have set the dbtrace to level 2 and the last
things in the trace file are...

I'm trying to do the following, and was wondering where I should look
to get a good handle on what's going on:
I have an $sth that's pointing to a dead server.
I have a new $sth2 that's pointing to a good server.

<caveat>
while not strictly a DBI issue, I'm going to
kick this off here, since its pretty relevant
(ala SQL::Statement).

Hi,
I am working on porting the recent versions of DBI/DBD on NetWare. I
am using gcc/linux as development tool/environment. The necessary
changes

I did make some (small) changes to make the Makefiles since we use the

I've been scouring the web, mailing lists, newsgroups, etc trying to find a
solution to this so I thought I'd give the actual list a try now. We're
building some new systems with 64-bit ASE 12.5.2 on Solaris 9 4/04. We also
use a 64-bit version of perl 5.6.1. When we try to build ...

A release candidate of DBD::Oracle 1.16 is available for testing at:
 http://homepage.eircom.net/~timbunce/DBD-Oracle-1.16-rc1-20040713.tar.gz
This release has major changes with much Oracle-version specific code.
I'd be especially grateful for reports of testing of ...

1. In Sybase how i can find whether a table is locked or not?
2. How i can enforce table T to use index I?
3. In sybase how i can find all indexes associated to a table?
4. If table a has 9 million records. among 9 million 8 million records

I've just uploaded DBD::Sybase 1.04.2 to
http://www.peppler.org/downloads/
This is a test version that includes support for using the BLK
(bulk-load) API from DBI's prepare/execute calls.

    I'm using sybperl 2.16 on perl 5.6. (Windows 2000). Everytime I try to
connect to sybase server and the login fail I get the following error....
connection failed... at Module/FindSrv.pm line 174.
I do log all my server errors which works fine but on the DOS window I get

... is starting to take shape in my copy of DBD::Sybase.
I'd like some input for the $h->commit call implementation.
To commit a bunch of rows submitted with the BLK api (in C) you call
    blk_done(blk_desc, type, &rows);

The current DBI v1 branch absolutely requires Perl 5.006000 but gives
a warning if it is not 5.006001, unless the user is on Darwin.
My question for today is whether you think it is reasonable for DBI
v2, which is already expected to break a few things, to simply

Micheal,
    I currenly using 2.16 sybperl on windows 2000. Have you ever had a chance
to fix this problem.  In my application I'm using a while loop to connect
sybase every 5 minutes. And I noticed that the memory useage increaces
