Dear all,

Appreciate if someone can help me with this.

I have a Solaris 5.6 Generic_105181-33 box on which I have Perl version
5.005_03.
I also have Perl modules DBI (version 1.14) and DBD::Oracle (version
1.06 - I think?? - how can I check this?)
I am using the following string to connect to a remote Oracle 10g
instance:

my $dbh =3D DBI->connect
("dbi:Oracle:$environment",$nsm_login,$nsm_password) || die "Unable to
connect to $environment: $DBI::errstr\n";

....where $environment is the instance name - this is defined in
tnsnames.ora.

I am getting the following error:

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel (DBD: login failed)

I can connect OK from the command line using:

sqlplus login/password [at] instance_name

I suspect that I need newer versions of Perl, DBI and DBD.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Dave S

I would say yes as DBD::Oracel 1.06 is about 13 revisoins out of date.

This may not be a DBD::Oracle issue, although your modules look a little
dated. Did you check you instance alert log and find the generated
trace file?
