Bug with Oracle 10.2.0.2 for Solaris 64bit
FYI
I just found out why DBD::Oracle will not work out of the box or on a
compile on a Solaris 64bit computers form HP.
Seems there is a bug in Oracle (What??? never happens?? yeah right!) the bug
number is 5389730. Seem that our friends
at Oracle forgot to add a flie to a makefile into the 10.2.0.2 Solaris x86
patchset :-). so parts are missing when you try to connect with 32bit perl.
With DBD::Oracle out of the box you will get a error like this when you try
to connect
DBI connect('','[EMAIL PROTECTED]',...) failed: ORA-12154:
TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (DBD ERROR:
OCIServerAttach) at test.pl line 31
If you try to compile DBD::Oracle you may see this error
*** Error code 139
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `lib/Config.pod'
Hope this helps someone out-there
Cheers

There's nothing to smile about in that Bug No. Oracle has a patch for 10.2.0.1, but has refused to create the official patch for 10.2.0.2 since August. The interim patch for 10.2.0.2 that my support engineer provided does work and DBD::Oracle runs fine, but the experience definitely left me wondering why I renew our support contract with Oracle every year.
