I am rebuilding my DBD installation on server A (the one where Oracle Wallet didn't work)
I set my environment for oracle 10g, then did the install again. I have wallet working, but every time I run a script I get two copies of a dld.sl error for libclntsh.sl.10.1 I think I can live with that for awhile and try to clean it up on a scheduled maintenance day. I'll do a $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and see if that helps. I have to tell you all, I love DBI/DBD and use it a lot. But the installation has always seemed to be difficult, and it keeps me from being enthusiastic to throw on the latest releases. When I get it working I just leave it alone. Not that I don't sympathize with the difficulty of building an install that works against Oracle, particularly in the pre-8 days. And I'm on HP-UX which also has it's quirks. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Scoles [mailto:sco...@pythian.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 8:38 AM > To: Howard, Chris > Cc: John Scoles; dbi-users@perl.org > Subject: Re: Problems with external password store. > > > > > Yes you can find out with ORA_OCI > > > > > > > > > > > > use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_types); > > > > print DBD::Oracle::ORA_OCI > > > > > > > > I think will work > > > > Cheers > > > > John > > > > > > > > Only one wallet is involved, and one connection. > > > > The Oracle Client issue might be in play.
