With Oracle 8.1.6 (Solaris 2.6 sparc) I don't have problem to logon as external user "/" in sqlplus. However when I tried to logon in same way from
Perl, I got error (we don't have sqlnet.ora file at all).:

DBI->connect failed: ORA-01004: default username feature not supported; logon
denied (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin) at p.pl line 6 Connect Error

This the source code is:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use DBI;
$dbHandle = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:ustatsam','/'); if(!defined $dbHandle)
{
die "Connect Error\n";
}

I tried also set sqlnet.authentication_services=(none) in sqlnet.ora and it did
not work either (even sqlplus / didn't work !).

Does it mean Perl doesn't support Oracle external user like "/" Received on Wed Aug 01 2001 - 13:11:36 CDT
