Re: Centos 5 specific DBI memory leak

Would compiling DBD::Oracle against the 10g instant client fix the memory leak?

That's hard to find out, for the time being I'm stuck with 9.2.

I'm rather confident that even 9.2.0.8 - the latest patched Oracle 9.2 version - would be ok, but I'll have to wait to get that in reach for me. Currently, it's 9.2.0.1 on the machine I work on.

Update: Much to my disappointment, the first attempt to follow your suggestion brought no improvement. That's not quite a final word on it so far, as there are at least two more things to try/investigate:
1. first, the Oracle libraries are expecting a libstdc++.so.5, whereas on my system there are only some libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5;
2. I've tried with Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.3 - and there is also an 10.2.0.4 available (and an 10.1.0.5, and an 11.1.0.6.0...)
