DBD::O...ng::Sun(3pm)

💖 DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Sun 💖

okay bestie, so this is the DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Sun page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — it's your lil' survival guide for making DBD::Oracle behave on Sun (iykyk, Solaris girlies rise 🫶). Tips and hints only, no cap.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.83 — yeah, that's the one, don't @ me.

✨ General Info ✨

So picture this: you're on a Solaris 9 and 10 box and the universe hits you with

"Outofmemory!
 Callback called exit.
 END failed--call queue aborted."

literally iconic in the worst way 😭

The solution may be as simple as not having your ORACLE_HOME defined in the environment.

It seems that having it defined will prevent the error.

ngl bestie that's the whole note — that's what it says, so that's what you get 💅

🦋 Setting library load path for instant client libraries 🦋

Usually you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the location of your Oracle Instant Client (you need to do this when building DBD::Oracle). However, afterwards it can be a pain to keep ensuring this is set — and changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your Perl script does not work (needs to be done beforehand) because the dynamic linker caches its value. rude of it honestly 💀

An alternative under newer versions of Solaris is:

root>  crle -u -l /youroracledir/lib/instantclient_11_2

however, make sure you check the crle options as you may need to set the architecture etc as well. (do your homework, queen 👑)
