Specifically the failures seem to all be AL16UTF16 db NCHAR with a non-unicode db CHAR charset. I recall something in the OCI docs about circumstances where NCHAR charset conversions are performed 'via' the database CHAR charset. That's probably the problem here. Did DBD::Oracle 1.16 also fail the same tests in the same config? > Under Cygwin there are additional Unicode-related failures. Other will have to scratch that itch. Tim.
