Hi all, Any Perl hackers/mongers out there? Is there a way to do a savepoint natively in DBI/DBD::Oracle? Currently, we have implemented a savepoint via call to PL/SQL stored object. Problem is, this PL/SQL object is called *frequently*. And I was doing performance profiling, and my #1 wait is 'SQL*Net message from client', attributed to this PL/SQL call! So, the call of Perl->PL/SQL->SQL->savepoint is causing significant latencies. I'm thinking Perl->savepoint would be more efficient, with far less context switch overhead. So, does anyone know if there's a "native" method to execute a savepoint from Perl DBI? Thanks, -Mark PS We are using DBD 1.34 and DBI 1.609. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
