follow up with oracle linked tables

[Ian Harisay]

Hi,

This is a follow up with my problem on trying to use linked tables in my 
query.  I have a problem with this on my Linux box (rh8).  I do not have 
a problem with this on my Sun box.  My perl modules are at the same 
version level on both boxes.  The only difference I can see is with the 
Oracle client itself.  I have 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux and 9.0.1.0.0 on Sun.

The statement I try to execute is:

SELECT DISTINCT list_nam FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The error returned is:

DBD::Oracle::st fetchrow_hashref failed: ORA-03106: fatal two-task 
communication protocol error (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtFetch) [for statement 
``  SELECT DISTINCT list_nam FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
'' with params: ]) at clean_lists.plz line 144.

any ideas on where to look for the problem?  Is it feasible to try and 
install an older Oracle client on Linux?  Thanks for any help on this.
