Hi, In my application, I am using perl version 5.6.1. I am currently using Oracle 9i database and I am using DBI and DBD modules for connecting the application to Oracle . Current Configuration of DBI and DBD: DBI v1.28 DBD-Oracle v1.15 Now I need to migrate my application to Oracle 10G. I would like to know, whether is it necessary to install the latest DBD (DBD-Oracle v1.18a) to connect to Oracle 10G or is it fine to use the current version itself. Also, please let me know, if DBD-Oracle v1.18a is supported with perl 5.6.1 or is upgradation really required. Thanks in advance. VenkateshThread Next
