Re: DBD::Teradata and Teradata V2R5.1by jarich (Curate) |

I'm afraid that you're not giving us a lot to go on NateTut. Teradata is a database well outside of my experience. What version of Teradata were you using when your Perl code used to work?
Are you sure it's a Perl issue? Could the upgrade have deprecated a bunch of username/passwords including the one(s) that your script is using? Can you connect to the database using the same username and password that the script is using? A simple google search for: has given me the following information.
Teradata Database Utilities - Gateway Control Release V2R5.1 introduces the Encryption feature. The following table provides information about the option used to control encrypted logons in the Gateway Control utility
Option: Note: Deprecated logon is a clear text.
Description: To enable deprecated logons, use the -b option as follows: allows the gateway to accept deprecated and encrypted logons. ensures that the gateway accepts only encrypted logons. The default is NO.
Comments: You can read more about all of this kind of thing at http://www.teradataforum.com/teradata_pdf/b035-1098-083a.pdf It doesn't look like a Perl issue at all. Perhaps it's advice to Upgrade client software to latest version is the way to go... Of course, for some bizarre reason the writer of DBD::Teradata has chosen only to sell the later versions and you may not be able to afford the US$2695.00 ... but I can't help you with that. Check that the newest version of DBD::Teradata handles encryption before you spend your money on it though. Hope this helps. jarich
