Oracle procedure raises exception but looks to be successful from DBI

2008-01-25 Thread Martin Evans
Hi, I've just spent a long time tracking down a bug in an Oracle procedure because DBI's execute method returned success even though the procedure raised an exception. Shouldn't exceptions raised in procedures cause execute to fail? Here is an example: use DBI; use strict; use warnings;

Not that I am offering you a solution, but with Oracle I have found the error messages are sometimes misleading. For example I was helping a co-worker with code. He wanted to call a stored procedure, so I sent him some example code that I had which called a function. The function I was

Wow I go one right for once. Not 100% sure on why that is? Me thinks when you use 'Begin End' it forces OCI to take it as an pseudo 'stored procedure' and runs in the current OCI client. I think using call just executes as a thread off the present client and in the background someplace??
