note mje <p>As it looks as though you are using Oracle, you should go and get the latest release candidate (1.24 RC4) which can be found [http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/DBD-Oracle-1.24-RC4.tar|here] as it contains fixes for retrieving multiple rows at a time. Also see [http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46763|Bug #46763 for DBD-Oracle: RowCacheSize is being ignored slowing] and [http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46998|Bug #46998 for DBD-Oracle: Why is RowCacheSize limited to 128].</p> 284436 819352
