Bug #35285 for DBD-MaxDB: issue with MaxDB interface and MaxDB 7.6

Hi I'm using DBD-MaxDB-7.7.05.00 to interface PERL scripts with MaxDB. My script contains the following: use DBI; $dbMAXDB = DBI->connect("dbi:MaxDB:$o_nodename/$o_SID",$maxdb_usr,$maxdb_pwd, \%dbi_attr) or die; The values for the variables are supplied. When this connects to a 7.5 MaxDB instance everything works correctly. When I try and connect to a 7.6 instance it fails with SQL -4008 error, DBI connect('.........') failed: POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination However, using dbmcli confirms the username/pwd is correct. It makes no difference if I supply username and passwword in upper/lower/combo of both. I'm running PERL 5.8.8 on CENTOS 5. My MaxDB instances all run on HP-UX, and are non-unicode. Any ideas as to what the issue might be? thanks, Stephen This communication is for use by the intended recipient and contains information that may be Privileged, confidential or copyrighted under applicable law.
