Ordinarily it wouldn't make any difference, but connect() in DBD::Oracle plays some games with its parameter list to accomodate an older argument syntax and a undefined fourth parameter may confuse it. If that doesn't help, please cut and paste your actions logging in via SQL*Plus. I'm guessing it's something like 'sqlplus system/manager@ora901', but then the DBI connect should have worked, so something less obvious may be going on. Try running your snippet again in the same session immediately after you successfully log in with SQL*Plus. > the trace log doesn't reveal something to me: > DBI 1.32-nothread dispatch trace level set to 4 > -> DBI->connect(DBI:Oracle:ora901, system, ****) > -> DBI->install_driver(Oracle) for linux perl=5.006 pid=2633 > ruid=119 euid=119 > install_driver: DBD::Oracle version 1.12 loaded from > /usr/lib/perl5/site_ perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBD/Oracle.pm > New DBI::dr (for DBD::Oracle::dr, parent=, id=) > dbih_setup_handle(DBI::dr=HASH(0x8186828)=>DBI::dr=HASH(0x81ecc48), > DBD::Oracle::dr, 0, Null!) > dbih_make_com(Null!, DBD::Oracle::dr, 88) thr#(nil) > <- install_driver= DBI::dr=HASH(0x8186828) > -> connect for DBD::Oracle::dr (DBI::dr=HASH(0x8186828)~0x81ecc48 > 'ora901' 'system' **** HASH(0x81609c8)) > New DBI::db (for DBD::Oracle::db, parent=DBI::dr=HASH(0x81ecc48), > id=) > dbih_setup_handle(DBI::db=HASH(0x81ecc0c)=>DBI::db=HASH(0x8159020), > DBD::Oracle::db, 81840a8, Null!) > dbih_make_com(DBI::dr=HASH(0x81ecc48), DBD::Oracle::db, 116) > thr#(nil) > OCIErrorGet after OCIServerAttach (er1:ok): -1, 12154: ORA-12154: > TNS:could not resolve service name -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
