Gavin, I'm not sure which OH itt was looking at, but more importantly, it had an incorrect value for the NLS var.

NLS_LANG was set right in The database oracle_home, but set as NA in the IAS home. I have set an environment variable NLS_LANG so that all homes will pick it up. The connect now works. I am just puzzled as to why DBI and DBD-Oracle in previous versions worked, then did not work When I updated them. Which Oracle home was it looking at? Anyway thanks again Gavin -----Original Message----- From: Reidy, Ron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 August 2005 14:45 To: Gavin W; dbi-users@perl.org Subject: RE: DBI DBD-Oracle connection failure woth ORA-12705 Metalink not 158654.1 ----------------- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Gavin W [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 2:03 AM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: DBI DBD-Oracle connection failure woth ORA-12705 Environment = Windows XP, perl 5.6 (activestate) I recently upgraded my DBI module to 1.32 And DBD-Oracle to 1.16 I have an Oracle 9 database on my PC, and have been connecting to it using DBI with no problems.
