Subject: Class::DBI::Sybase segfaulting
Date: Feb 28 2005 5:44PM

Cross posted from Class::DBI list:

Here is a fairly trivial DB and script. What am I doing wrong?

OS is Solaris 5.8 and Sybase version 12.5.1

Class::DBI version 0.96
DBI version 1.47
DBD::Sybase version 0.95
Class::DBI::Sybase version 0.31
Perl 5.6.1


================================
create table TEST 
(
  nurgle  integer,
  foobar  varchar(20)
)

insert into TEST (nurgle,foobar)
values (1, 'Dingbat')


================================
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use warnings;

package Test::DBI;
use strict;
use base 'Class::DBI::Sybase';

__PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:Sybase:server=SERVER_TST;database=TESTING2','tst2','tst2');

__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('TEST');

package main;
use strict;

my $foo = Test::DBI->search( nurgle => 1);

for (qw/nurgle foobar/) {
        print $foo->$_,"\n";
}

I've traced it to Class::DBI::Sybase line 86, where it is trying to
retrieve the results from the procedure sp_help $table. It's actually
segfaulting in Carp::Heavy, probably on account of some dodgy SV that
DBD::Sybase has returned.

Any idea how I would go about tracking this down further?

Any thoughts?
