Hi, I've seen:
$connString = 'dbi:Oracle:SID' Maybe it helps to add the SID like: $connString = 'dbi:Oracle:SID=SID_NAME' where SID_NAME is the SID you want to use... --Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren James - jawarr" <james.war...@acxiom.com> To: "beginners" <beginners@perl.org>; "dbi-users" <dbi-us...@perl.org> Cc: "newbie01 perl" <newbie01.p...@gmail.com>; <rob.di...@gmx.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2012 3:54 AM Subject: Cannot connect to Oracle db; script will not run --Beyond some training, I'm very much a newbie to Perl (and this list). So, please indulge me with my first attempt at a posted question to you; please see below (*with the full code Perl script toward the bottom of my email)... -I've been dealing with an issue in a Perl script that I'm writing, similar to what was posted recently under 'Subject: Script to test connecting to Oracle DBs' (and 'Subject: Re: Script to test connecting to Oracle DBs' by Rob Dixon). Specifically, from my code: $ENV{TWO_TASK} = "lady"; $dbh = DBI->connect("$connString", "$ladyUser", "$ladyPass", { AutoCommit=>0, RaiseError=>0, PrintError=>0, ora_check_sql=>0 }) or die "Could not connect to database: " . DBI->errstr ; ... ...but I still keep getting the same error message at command line in unix: naszcard@gustavo: /ou8/naszcard/sox => perl -c Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl syntax OK naszcard@gustavo: /ou8/naszcard/sox => perl Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl -t Could not connect to database: ORA-24327: need explicit attach before authenticating a user (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin) at Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl line 134. FYI: line 134 is above - "{ AutoCommit=>0, RaiseError=>0, PrintError=>0, ora_check_sql=>0 }) or die "Could not connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;" -So, after double-checking that I was using the correct SID, and banging my head against the wall ;-), I commented out the 'use DBI;' and the section above, and just tried to go straight to it, command line, and do it this way instead: my $tempCmd = "sqlplus /nolog \@" .
