Can someone please tell me what the size is when I set it to 1000?  Is
it one meg?
Thanks.

I have a properly installed and working DBI/DBD::Oracle on Sun Solaris Unix
box 'A'. While installing this, I had used INSTALLIBDIR option which created
all my lib and DBI.pm and DBD.pm in the directory I mentioned. I have
working perl programs using these DBI/DBD in the programs to ...

Trying to upgrade to sybperl 2.18 (from 2.17) after an ASE upgrade to 12.5.4
(from 12.5.3a).  This is on Solaris 9 using the 64 bit version of ASE.  However,
the sybperl compile should be 32 bit.  The open client libraries are 12.5.1 and
are the ones distributed with the ASE ...

Uh, has anyone else ever noticed that ->construct kind of blows rocks?
Specifically, if you ->construct an object that's already in the
LiveObject index, CDBI will throw away perfectly good fresh data about
the object -- columns not present at all in the indexed version -- and

We have perl 5.6.0 installed here. Current version of DBI is 1.35 and that
of DBD::Oracle is 1.12.
Now I want to install DBI 1.5 and DBD::Oracle 1.17 so that I can connect
to Oracle 10g databases. Will it be a problem?

Just trying to understand the instructions on both these packages.  Each
set of instructions explains that we do the following steps in the
following order:
- perl Makefile.PL

Is the below the correct usage for finishing still active child  
handles of a dbh?
foreach my $childh (@{$dbh->{ChildHandles}}) {
    $childh->finish() if ($childh->{Type} eq 'st');

Late yesterday I found that I am getting this error from code which
previously functioned, note their appears to be an additional single
quote after the key value. Any clues? Class::DBI eas 3.0.14 but the
same happens on 3.0.15 when I updated today.

I am currently using Oracle 9i database and I am using DBI and DBD
modules for connecting the application to Oracle .

As mentioned in a prior post, I had a need to write some methods that
operated on collections of CDBI records, and found subclassing
Class::DBI::Iterator as one solution. Below are some of the challenges I
ran into and areas in which Class::DBI::Iterator seems deficient.

I had a need to write some methods that operated on collections of CDBI
records, and wondered what was the preferred approach and in what module
those methods should live.
In the existing code I was working on there was a parent record type and
