dba has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I loop through a list of databases to query. When I mix   $dbh = DBI->connect($tns,$uid,$pswd,{ ora_session_mode =>2}) with  DBI->connect($tns,$uid,$pswd), (based on the database) perl crashes at the end of the program. However, if I use only one way to connect, it exits normally. Any one used this, or have any suggestions to fix this error ?

    Do you get any errors? Perhaps if you add:

    or die $DBI::errstr;

    to the end or your connect statements, that might give you some idea what is going on.

    Good luck,

    Anne

      Thanks for the reply. I do it in every connect. However, connect /query runs fine. I have also a print statement as the last line of the code, which executes just fine. But when perl exits, it crashes.
