We have been using DBD::Oracle 1.12 with DBI 1.42 on Tru64 UNIX quite happily with Oracle 7.3.2 (yes, we have to carve the electrons out of wood by hand ;-} ).
However, we are unable to connect to an Oracle 8.1.6 database under the same conditions: > Failed to connect to Oracle: ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side > (DBD: login failed, probably a symptom of a deeper problem) > at bms3_connect_2004.pl line 27, <STDIN> line 1. We have tried a variety of connect strings, any of which connects happily on our old 7.3.2 database. On another Tru64 box, running DBI 1.37 and DBD::Oracle 1.14, we can connect to an Oracle 8.1.7 database successfully. The Oracle documentation has this to say about ORA-01019: > ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side > Cause: The user side memory allocator returned an error > Action: Increase the size of the process heap or switch to the old set of > calls.
