hi, i'm on perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 2), dbi 1.13, dbd oracle 1.03, oracle 8.1.5, solaris for intel. i am up and running fine, connecting to 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 engines. when i try to connect to an 8.1.7 engine, i'm getting the following error, somewhat randomly, i.e. it comes in the same place for a specific query, but different places in different queries. 1 query might return with 10 rows before the error, another may return 100. ORA-03120: two-task conversion routine: integer overflow this seems like a definite version thing, an internal value that was an int is something bigger now, but just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this. we are working on getting 8.1.6, (8.1.7 isn't available for the intel platform), and will have to go from there. also, how can you find out the dbi and dbd version in an installed system? thanks, mickm BayGate, Inc. 539 Bryant St. # 400 San Francisco, CA 94107 Phone: 415.908.3944 Fax: 415.908.3945 www.baygate.comThread Next
