Greetings - Having the notorious problem where trailing spaces are being truncated from bind variables. I have found two solutions, one is to rtrim the column in the SQL statement, the other is to set the type to CHAR with bind_param. The problem is, I will be looking at changing up to 100 standalone scripts. I'm wondering if something else can be done in the environment or setup. This only started happening to us after we upgraded our environment to more current versions of Perl, DBD, and DBI. Can somone explain what it was in this upgrade that would start causing this to happen?
We went from: Perl 5.00404 DBI .90 DBI.pm 1.83 DBD .47 DBD.pm 1.6 Oracle.pm 1.47 1997/09/08 We went to: Perl 5.6.0 DBI 1.32 DBI.pm 11.23 DBD 1.14 DBD.pm 11.11 Oracle.pm 1.1 2002/07/05 We are running Oracle 8i database on AIX 5. Perl environment also on AIX 5. I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on this issue. Thanks, Chad Terry
