Subject: Errors in OCIServerAttach not being caught
Attempting to connect to Oracle using DBI->connect, I get an ORA-24327 "need explicit attach before authenticating" error from the Oracle client. From a DBI trace, I can see that OCIServerAttach failed but the error was not detected. It was the next call, OCISessionBegin, that failed and generated the ORA-24327 error. The effect is that the actual connection error from the OCIServerAttach call is not reported. I should underline that there is some kind of underlying Oracle error unrelated to DBD::Oracle. However I cannot determine what it is because DBD::Oracle is not trapping the error. The full tracefile is attached, and the most relevant section is pasted below: OCIServerAttach(27d47e0, 27d4128, "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(HOST=destination-host)(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DESTINATION-SID)))", 92, mode=DEFAULT,0)=ERROR OCIAttrSet(27d4048,OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, 27d47e0,0,Attr=OCI_ATTR_SERVER,27d4128)=SUCCESS OCIHandleAlloc(27914d0,272efd0,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,0,0)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(27d38d8,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, 25cef00,11,Attr=OCI_ATTR_USERNAME,27d4128)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(27d38d8,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, 25643a0,8,Attr=OCI_ATTR_PASSWORD,27d4128)=SUCCESS OCISessionBegin(27d4048,27d4128,27d38d8,1,mode=DEFAULT 0)=ERROR OCIErrorGet(27d4128,1,"<NULL>",7fff793dcf0c,"ORA-24327: need explicit attach before authenticating a user ",1024,2)=SUCCESS The test script itself is very simple: use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:host=destination-host;sid=DESTINATION-SID;port=1521', 'userid/pwd', '') or die "Error: $DBI::errstr"; Using DBI 1.616, DBD::Oracle 1.28 under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1
