Here's some test results done with: Linux 9.2, 10.1 client Windows 8.1.7, 9.2, 10.1 client, native and Cygwin environments
.. against .. Linux 9.2 singlebyte database (named "dev92") Windows 10g multibyte database (named "exc101") .. using various client-side character sets. Logs of all the results are here: http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6 Not had time to look deeper into any of the test failures so here's the raw information to be going on with: Summaries per OS here: http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_MSWin32_summary.l og http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_cygwin_summary.lo g http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_linux_summary.log In short (ish): Linux and Windows (native) looking largely OK, except for: * failures when the client is set to Unicode but run against a single-byte database - haven't had a chance to work out if this is actual data corruption, or a problem with the expectations of the test? Example: http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_linux_9.2.0.5_tes t_dev92_UTF8.log * 8.1.7 client connecting to the 10g database has a lot of failures, but this looks more like it could be in Oracle bug territory rather than DBD::Oracle, as it crashes Oracle. Also had to kill the perl.exe process off on each of the 30long tests as it appeared to be in a loop (maxed out CPU and didn't return even after several minutes) Example: http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_MSWin32_8.1.7.4_t est_exc101_WE8ISO8859P1.log * 8.1.7 client connecting to 9.2 has the problem posted earlier by mAmsterdam: "invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified " http://www.andyh.uklinux.net/dbd-oracle-1.16rc6/dbd_oracle_MSWin32_8.1.7.4_t est_dev92_WE8ISO8859P1.log ( Could this be because AL32UTF8 didn't exist back in 8.1.7? http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76966/appa .htm#969074 ) Cygwin on all client versions seems to be having problems with the multibyte tests. Not sure what to make of the results. -- Andy Hassall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / Space: disk usage analysis tool <http://www.andyh.co.uk> / <http://www.andyhsoftware.co.uk/space> > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Bunce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 07 August 2004 23:33 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: ANNOUNCE: DBD::Oracle 1.16 release candidate 6 - > request for testing > > A mature, and hopefully final, release candidate of DBD::Oracle 1.16 > is available for testing at: > > > http://homepage.eircom.net/~timbunce/DBD-Oracle-1.16-rc6-20040 807.tar.gz > > Please help by taking a moment to at least check it builds > and tests okay > in your environment.
