Rich!

Take the ending semi-colon off. It's not SQL, but a end-of-statment flag to Sqlplus, which you are not using.

Hey all,

I'm trying to get a simple query running in Perl 5.6.1, DBI 1.30, DBD::Oracle 1.14, Oracle 8.1.7 on HPUX 11.0 talking to a 9.2.0.4 RAC DB on Linux (whew!). Here's the pertinent part of the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_types);

my ($dbh, $sth);

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:mysid","myuser","mypass");

$sth = $dbh->prepare(q{

SELECT machine, program, SYS_CONTEXT(:userenv, :ipaddress), SYS_CONTEXT(:userenv, :osuser)

FROM v$session VS;
});

At this point, I get an "ORA-911: invalid character" on the prepare. I thought perhaps the "$" was hosing me in "v$session", so I tried escaping it to "v\$session" (along with the underscores and parens) and using "qq" instead of "q", but to no avail.

I knew I shouldn't have unsub'd from the DBI mailing list...

Anyone?
TIA,
Rich
