Hi All,
I am using Oracle v9.2.0.6, Perl V5.8.4... I can find the version
of the dbi if needed... When I run a simple connection call I have
been using for years against an Oracle DB with the NLS_LANG charset
of WE8MSWIN1284.... I have tried getting the team using this
database to convert to utf-8 but to no avail.... I am a long time
Oracle geek and can find no documentation on this on their web
site....
Any one else see this, have a fix...

Catharine,
No specific help here, but in case this is the post that triggered
your 'moderator' post:
Are you getting any more informative errors on the server side, say
in the alert log or in a trace file?
As you may already know, the ORA 03113 error just means that the
client has lost contact with the server in some drastic way. Not
necessarily as bad as an ORA 600, but sometimes just about as opaque,
and difficult to deal with. To quote from Job Miller, quoting asktom
on May 4, 2005,
From asktom.oracle.com:
The underlying cause of a 3113 can be diagnosed typically by:
o inspecting the alert log on the server. There should be a
message in there
typically that tells of the error occuring and gives the name of a
trace file.
o the trace file will contain more details. Most importantly, you
can see the
SQL statement that was executing usually at the time of the crash.
This can be
useful in diagnosing the statement that is giving us a hard time.
The remainder
of the trace file will not be very useful to you -- but it will be
useful to
support which is your next step....
o contact support with the contents of the trace file. For errors
like this,
the information in the trace file can be used by support/
development to track
down the cause of this error.
