Hi!
I've got a strange problem with DBD:Sybase,
We have a program written that goes into our SQL Server box and lists the
active threads so that we can monitor it remotely. For the most part it
works fine. We've used the same script using DBD:ODBC, and DBD:ODBC through
the dbiproxy. We recently got the ability to have our linux box connect with
DBD:Sybase, and while that works much better than the proxy did for multiple
connections, it won't call finish(). The program just hangs. If you don't
call finish() or disconnect, it does the same thing. The only way to end it
is to call disconnect without calling finish(). Now, according to the
cheetah book, that's not supposed to cause any problems, but it's messy, and
gives us an annoying message saying "disconnect invalidates 1 active
statement handle (either destroy statement handles or call finish on them
before disconnecting).
Any ideas on what's wrong here? We don't get this error when we're not using
DBD:Syabse. I suppose we could just disable that message, but, I'd rather
find a way to fix the problem.
Thanks!!
