Just to close the loop on this. We found the problem with DBD::Oracle1.15
on perl 5.8. It is unrealeated to the Patch suggested by Tim Bunce on the
DBI mail list. After pursuing that Non-domestic fowl for a while, we
noticed that the oci.def file included with the source contains no reference
to "OCILobWriteAppend". so:
Remove liboci.a (created when you run "perl Makefile.pl", but not removed
on "clean").
Add: OCILobWriteAppend to the oci.def file.
and everything should work. ( at least it does for us)
