Chris:
Thanks for your response. The reason I think this might be a DBI/DBD
question is that the SQL works in under 1 second from locally-connected
SQL*Plus, remote-connected SQL*Plus, and TOAD. Only in Perl is it going
away and never returning. I have tried setting SQL_TRACE; no joy. I've
tried setting TraceLevel => 2 (or 4); no joy (lots of information, but no
joy).
Thanks,
Mike
