Your memory serves you well. I had to dig pretty deeply in the installer (plus had to turn on the option to show all packages including required dependencies just to figure out it wasn't installed). I sadly almost installed the server before figuring out that it was possible to install the dev

Hi Folks, If memory serves, one thing I had to do when installing the Oracle database client (and when I wanted to compile DBD::Oracle) was to take particular care in ensuring the "Oracle9i Development Kit" was installed (I don't believe it was included in the base installation). I remember taki

Well it depends, though nothing will hand unless there is a bug or you make it hang. If you set RaiseError => 1, then the program will exit on error in any subroutine. You can catch your errors using eval and therefore do anything you want when an error is generated. I still don't see why you w

No, not a diffrent process but will the current process hang due to error in the subroutine test1. Another example, if test1 had an infinite loop I would expect $dbh process to remain open, right? I'm just polling the group to find out if anyone writing code like this and what are the pit-fall :(

Not sure what you mean. You are reusing a global handle, if you mean will there be a memory leak, no since everything is deallocated at end of execution. Otherwise I am not exactly sure, why you would think that a different process is created:-? Ilya > -Original Message- > From: Anthon

Ronald, but (not necessarily in this case, since it's a count(*) query), but for most others it will also return the first column selected and set it to undef if that column is NULL, so therefore it will also call the dbError() sub. The difference with this, is the count(*) returns something, (0+

First of all there's no need for double quotes around variable names. Second PrintError is on by default and RaiseError prints errors unless you have a __DIE__ handler. So... $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password, { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }); >Subject: Cant create TC
