Subject: describe function is broken with latest DBI
The /describe function is incompatible with recent releases of DBI (tested under 1.48) which apparently have changed the number of parameters needed. DBI::Shell: describe failed: DBI column_info: invalid number of arguments: got handle + 3, expected handle + between 4 and 5 Usage: $h->column_info($catalog, $schema, $table, $column [, \%attr ]) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/DBI/Shell.pm line 1409. Thanks, William

According to the docs, the $column parameter was never optional. However DBI seems to have started to enforce this only at some version between 1.40 and 1.48. Show quoted text

Yep. The correct fix is to add '%' as the last parameter.

Looks like this was resolved in version 11.95.
