Martin, I've decided to take a new tack, throwing out the suse DBD-ODBC and compiling DBD-ODBC 1.13 from scratch, starting with a clean slate. Martin J.

I don't know. It must be DBD::ODBC but there is something strange about the DBD::ODBC you are using because the trace does not contain "Driver connect". Did you build DBD::ODBC yourself and if so can you check dbdimp.c to make sure it contains: if (DBIc_DEBUGIV(imp_dbh) >= 8) PerlIO_printf(DBIc_LOGPIO(imp_dbh), "Driver connect '%s', '%s', '%s'\n", dbname, uid, pwd); just before the SQLDriverConnect call. If it doesn't, I don't know what you have as my copy of DBD::ODBC 1.06 does have this. The only way I can see the behavior you experience happening is if dsnHasUIDorPWD(dbname) is returning NULL and I don't see that happening: int dsnHasUIDorPWD(char *dsn) { char upper_dsn[512]; char *cp = upper_dsn; strncpy(upper_dsn, dsn, sizeof(upper_dsn)-1); upper_dsn[sizeof(upper_dsn)-1] = '\0'; while (*cp != '\0') { *cp = toupper(*cp); cp++; } return (strstr(upper_dsn, "UID=") != 0 || strstr(upper_dsn, "PWD=") != 0); } If the above returns NULL the following code would cause what you are seeing: if (strlen(dbname) > SQL_MAX_DSN_LENGTH || dsnHasDriverOrDSN(dbname) && !dsnHasUIDorPWD(dbname)) { sprintf(dbname_local, "%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s;", dbname, uid, pwd); Martin -- Martin J.

I'd guess this is a bug in your adabas driver - it needs to return SQL_NO_DATA when there are no more diags left and it looks as though it doesn't. We have a recollection of this being found in PHP on a PHP mailing list somewhere. BTW, I spoke to Nick Gorham and he reminded my what the mixing thread/non-thread applications, drivers and driver managers problem on Linux is. We think the problem is that the internal structure used by dlopen is bigger when built threaded. You can reproduce this with an ODBC app built without -D_REENTRANT an without linking with pthreads (e.g. without gcc -pthread) and then run it against a unixODBC built threaded. Martin -- Martin J.
