Subject: Re: Getting DBD::Oracle tests working
Success!
Thanks to help from you (and my DB admins getting a working scott/tiger
account going) I have finally managed to install DBD::Oracle!
if you actually read the READMEs you will find that you can bypass this by
setting the ORACLE_USERID enviornment variable
like this in windows
Set ORACLE_USERID=test/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or in linux
export ORACLE_USERID=test/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The following might be of interest to someone. Every test run throws up
this warning:
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
META.yml
Please inform the author.
The absence of this file doesn't seem to have any serious effect, or any
effect at all. Also, when running the tests I get this warning:
t/26exe_array...........DBD::Oracle::st execute_array warning:
ORA-24381: error(s) in array DML (DBD SUCCESS_WITH_INFO: error possibly
near <*> indicator at char 66 in 'INSERT INTO dbd_ora__drop_me ( row_1,
row_2, row_3) VALUES (:p1,:<*>p2,:p3)') [for Statement "INSERT INTO
dbd_ora__drop_me ( row_1, row_2, row_3) VALUES (?,?,?)" with
ParamValues: :p3=undef, :p1=undef, :p2=undef] at t/26exe_array.t line
77.
Again, this doesn't seem to be particularly serious, and the install
proceeds anyway.
You are right this is a deliberate error that is testing to see if an error
in the tuple is returned. So you can ignore it.
It skips quite a lot of tests "for various reasons".
Yep it does that depending on how Oracle was installed. Mostly to do with in
which format (UTF8,UTF16 etc) the DB is storing data
Regards, K.
