There is the latest DBD on my site build with OCI8. Issue these commands in command prompt...
ppm set repository XMLPROJ www.xmlproj.com/PPM ppm install DBD-Oracle-1_12 Ilya -----Original Message----- From: Jared Still To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11/29/01 1:02 AM Subject: Oracle DBD BLOB's and ActiveState Perl 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... Jared
