Imagine my dissapoint at the results of running my new script
on Win32 and seeing the message below:
DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-00932 inconsisten datatypes
( DBD oexfet error; e.g., can't select LOB fields using DBD::Oracle
built for Oracle 7 )
This all runs fine on Linux, Oracle 8.1.7, Perl 5.6.1 and DBD::Oracle 1.12.
Alas, the win32 ActiveState DBD is 1.06 and apparently compiled with
moth eaten old libs.
I've found some references in the archives to using blob_read ( ala LONG
columns ), but those are a year old.
Does anyone know of an alternative to the PPM that is available at
ActiveState? Rewriting is an option ( not a very attractive one mind you )
but I don't really want to go that route. It's not a lot of code, but it's
rather disheartening to use an archaic method to work with new features.
Only on windoze.
Sigh...
