Imagine the following objects: > - Database objects (allows login, etc) > - Table objects (created by queries or pre-existing) > - Field objects (contain data, but also have 'metadata' properties) Umm, looks like another standard to me! You seem to be addressing high-level concepts here. I'd be *very* happy for you to, for example, reimplement the Rogue Wave db++ class library in perl. Seriously, *that* would be a *very* useful project. Note that one of the reasons the DBI has taken so long is that it has been trying to define a new standard. Sure, parse/execute/fetch is easy but once you've done that it gets much harder to create a _good_ standard (neatly demonstrated by ODBC itself :-). It'll be *much* easier to piggy-back the low-level code onto ODBC and then concentrate on defining an easy to use library on top - and that's the plan. > ---------------------------------- Dan's DBI Commandments: > The DBI base package should: > [...] Umm. ------------------------------------ Tim's DBI Commandments: The new DBI will: - Implement a very thin and very fast interface to ODBC functions. - Support all ODBC functionality (if you can do it in C you can do it in Perl). - Simplify API calls by deleting redundant parameters such as string length. A small set of calling convention simplifications will be consistently applied across the API. - Implement handles as objects. - Be supplied with a library of high-level methods to simplify common database coding idioms. For example: $sth = $dbh->prepare("..."); $sth->execute; while(@row = $sth->fetch) { ... } (I have already said that I think the ODBC API ugly and verbose.) The library will be as compatible as possible with existing DBI code. If you didn't see my "New directions for DBI" message let me know and I'll send you a copy. Work commitments will keep me away from this work for a couple more weeks. Then sparks will fly (famous last words :-).

I tried both as follows: version 1 using one login, the script read in the rows properly, reported no errors, and finished but the table supposedly filling with inserts was still empty. version 2 used two logins, using one for selecting and the other for inserting and... perl core dumped. Rather than clobber your eyes, the two versions are available for perusal as version1 & version2 Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

You just said you *did* have a database to connect to, in the first paragraph, and now you're saying you don't? Anyway, you can create an mSQL database with the DBD::mSQL driver, although, you have to be the mSQL 'root' user to do so, and the database must be local to the machine you're running the script on. Please see: http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI for more information. Also, read the test.pl and extratests/*pl scripts to see how the various functions work.

Of course, you can do that, but it would give a whole new meaning to 'inefficient' for non-trivial queries. Oracle can't offer the row count for a given cursor before fetching all the data from it.

Below is a subroutine I use with Oraperl to return the number of rows in a given query. You can pass it a complete query or a "from table..." type statement. You can use it like this: $sel = "select * from dept where deptno = 10"; if (&get_nrec($sel) > 0) { ...do something } or $nrec = &get_nrec("from emp where empno > 5000"); ----------- David Hiltz dhiltz@whsun1.wh.whoi.edu ccMail: David Hiltz Unix System, Network and Oracle DB Administrator Northeast Fisheries Science Center ######&@&###### #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sub get_nrec { local($selstr) = @_; local($csr); local($nrec); # Remove everything up to first "from" keyword. @parts = split(/from/i,$selstr); # break out parts around "from" keyword shift(parts); $selstr = "from" . join("from",@parts); # Get a record count using "select count(*)" and "from ..where" clause. $csr = &ora_open($lda,"select count(*) $selstr") || die $ora_errstr; ($nrec) = &ora_fetch($csr, 1); &ora_close($csr); return($nrec); } ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <11458-16@oink>; Tue, 16 Jan 1996 07:08:17 +0000 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 821741760:28909:1; Mon, 15 Jan 96 21:36:00 GMT Received: from frigate.doc.ic.ac.uk ([155.198.191.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id af28659; 15 Jan 96 21:35 GMT Received: from toccata.fugue.com by frigate.doc.ic.ac.uk with SMTP (PP); Mon, 15 Jan 1996 18:36:20 +0000 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA16775 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 09:43:29 -0800 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay.inferentia.it (dns.inferentia.it [151.99.220.4]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA16771 for ; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 09:43:27 -0800 Received: from yquem.inferentia.it (yquem.inferentia.it [194.184.62.17]) by relay.inferentia.it (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id SAA07019 for ; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 18:44:39 +0100 Posted-Date: Mon, 15 Jan 1996 18:44:39 +0100 Received: by yquem.inferentia.it with Microsoft Mail id <01BAE37A.3CFAE1E0@yquem.inferentia.it>; Mon, 15 Jan 1996 18:49:45 +-100 Message-ID: <01BAE37A.3CFAE1E0@yquem.inferentia.it> From: Davide Migliavacca To: "dbi-users@fugue.com" Subject: RE: Determining no. of rows using Oraperl Date: Mon, 15 Jan 1996 18:49:44 +-100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Actually, basing on my experience, select count(*) may prove = inefficient, while select count() il always very fast. As for the previous comments, it is true that you must execute the = select to determine the number of rows, but also that statement cache = management usually allows the subsequent "real" execution of the EXACTLY = SAME (case and whitespace-sensitive) statement ro avoid a lot of work on = behalf of the server engine. So, while not recommended, if you're really desperate and your SQL area = is large enough, you may resort to the orrible trick. In this case, try to generalise your count statements using host = variables, since that allows for caching of parameterized statements, = while dynamically creating the SQL string will forfeit the cache.

On that note you probably want to upgrade DBI/DBD (under ftp://nearest.CPAN.site/authors/id/TIMB/DBD). Now, on to your question whether "Am I doing something dumb?"--I bet you're making the common mistake of not realizing that your server scripts are run with a minimal environment. Try unsetting all of your environment variables and see if your script runs. I bet you'll find that your CGI script needs some Oracle variables (ORACLE_HOME, TWO_TASK, ORACLE_SID, or TNS_NAMES).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Greetings Gurus: (Initial newbie warning) I just started using DBI, CGI, Perl, and find it all lots of fun. My main goal in this excercize was to get my web server spewing forth query results. The following script works off the command line i.e. the output is correct. When I run it from an html document, it starts off fine, but I never get any output from oracle on my browser I tracked the problem down to the prepare statement. I get output before the prepare statement, but never after. Am I doing something dumb? I'm running Perl v 5.001m, DBI v0.64, DBD-Oracle 0.26, and UIUC httpd 1.4.2 on a Unixware 2.01 box. The script i'm running is #!/opt/bin/perl push(@INC,'..'); require CGI::Form; require DBI; $ENV{DBPERL_PATH}='/opt/lib/perl5.001m/DBD'; $dbname = "****"; $query = new CGI::Form; print $query->header; &print_head; $drh = DBI->install_driver('Oracle'); $dbh =$drh->connect($dbname,'*****','*****'); print '

connected to database'; # works up until this point. All of the above html will output correctly # on my browser $sth = $dbh->prepare("select * from words where descr = 'TEDS'"); print '

query prepared'; $sth->execute; while(@fields = $sth->fetchrow){ print "

"; print "@fields\n"; } $sth->finish; &print_tail; sub print_head { print < Example Oracle Interface

I would concur, from previous tests that I have done, that counting a primary key column (or in fact any indexed column) is faster than count(*), but only by ~10%. I know of others who have had similar results as well, although I have never seen an explanation of why this is so. In any case, the "why" is only of academic interest. One thing is clear however: Oracle does not store a row count anywhere for immediate access. It counts up the rows each time you ask, regardless how you ask (e.g. count(pk), count(*), count(1), count(rowid), etc.) This means a full table scan, or perhaps a scan of the index. Accordingly, elapsed time is going to be roughly linear to the number of rows in the table. So, "very fast" to one person may be very slow to another. It just depends upon how fast your machine is, how many rows in the table, and of course, how significant this elapsed time is to your application. One quick test I just did took 4.06 seconds to count ~200,000 rows using a "count(pk)" on an otherwise near idle Sun Sparc1000 running Oracle 7.1. > As for the previous comments, it is true that you must execute the = > select to determine the number of rows, but also that statement cache = > management usually allows the subsequent "real" execution of the EXACTLY = > SAME (case and whitespace-sensitive) statement ro avoid a lot of work on = > behalf of the server engine. It's true that the statement will be cached, but the parse time on a simple one-liner SQL statement like "select count(pk) from table" is neglible compared to the execution time for anything but a table with a trivial number of rows. In fact, one might argue that the parse time for such a statement is neglible in absolute terms. In the sample test I did, the parse elapsed time was 0.03 secs, which isn't much in absolute terms, and is more than 2 orders of magnitude smaller than the elapsed execution time (which is really pure I/O).

For instance, if your = table contains a BLOB, my rule of thumb is never use anything another = than the keys. But I admit this will generally be evident with complex = statements and particularly for joins; for example, sometimes I add a = (otherwise useless) "order by" clause on a pk in order to force Oracle = in using the index when scanning the table, which it wouldn't do without = the clause.

Bad free's are nearly always Oracle's fault. Code quality is not Oracle's strong suit. Line 99 is the call to logon to the database.

Is oraperl simply perl4 with the DBD stuff compiled in? Also, what can one do with Oracle (via perl) that one cannot do with the mSQL DBD interface? Do you have access to all the Oracle bells and whistles, or are you restricted to a common subset of standard sql procedures? Is it worth getting the oracle/perl stuff up and running?

The bad free's are usually Oracle's fault but sort out the other issues first.

I installed the DBI (v0.65). Once again, no errors during the make, testing, or install. Now the fun part begins. The make for the mSQL DBD (v0.60pl9) failed with syntax errors in dbdimp.h (lines 96, 106, 132) and dbdimp.c (line 32). A few minutes' research revealed that the problem was in fact in dbdimp.h: cc didn't like the type specfier "signed". I prepended a #define to set "signed" to "", and it compiled with no errors after that. So now, full of high hopes, I ran "make test".

Clearly it's not completely hosed, because install_driver and _ListDBs both worked OK. The named line of test.pl just calls DBI::connect(), and the 'DESTROY ignored' error looks like it's coming from DBI - but that installed and tested without error. Help! Did my #defining "signed" screw things up? Why did cc complain about it anyway? Also, I tried recompiling with gcc, without redefining "signed". It errored in the same place.

I have seen the same behavior when the NLS_LANG environment variabale is not properly set, usuallly when I need something done non-interactively. While you are at it you should also check if your backups (if you use export to backup) contain the ISO characters. I know of a case where export was the only backup and just by accident the sysadm noticed the total 7-bit-ness of the exports, before disaster struck. I would consider this a bug in Oracle but other might not, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect your backups to be backups and not some mutilations of your data.

We have our home grown SGML kind of parser and manipulation system, which we have adapted to scan HTML (and cope with the HTML cheats) and then substitute value attributes into the input and select tags. So we have a kind of forms handler/query by example. We use perl functions matching the tag names to do the manipulation of the parse tree, so we can use lots of luvly perl to mangle the data.

You'll also need DBD::Oracle built in. Build (static) and install the DBI module (which copies DBI.a to the library). Build DBD::Oracle, then say 'make perl' and presto!, a new perl appears in your directory which has DBI.a linked in (because it was installed) and Oracle.a because that's the module you're in when you said 'make perl'. All the magic's done by MakeMaker. Read the MakeMaker docs for more info. I strongly recommend you switch to perl5.002beta2 - much better docs. (you'll need to hack the $VERSION line in DBI.pm as pre a recent message of mine).

This probably qualifies as a stupid mistake on my part, but it's the kind that I would expect other newbies might make as well. When I compiled and installed mSQL, I altered the default msql.acl in a few places - in addition to giving root exclusive read/write access, I also removed the "host=*" line and replaced "access=local,remote" with "access=local", since I only intended on accessing the database from the local machine.
