As we are beginners with HTML and the whole stuff of WWW and databases, please can you give us some usefull places on the web or elsewhere where we can find more information? Some data about our ideas for our site: ------------------- The site exists of several pages (HTML-documents). On one page there is a link to a page with a form where the user can fill some data: f.e. type of manufacturer, type of model, max. price and so on. Now (which way I even don't know how) a query must be started with this data and after the query has ended the set of resulting records are shown on another page (dynamical build HTML-document). Thats all. The database consists of only 100-1000 records and has to be updated one time a week. ------------------ I think up to the point after filling the form we know how to manage the thing. But - please give us some hints what to do after that. Do we need a "real" (SQL-?)database? Do we need programming with CGI? In which language, C, PEARL or another language? Then, is it possible to test all the thing local (incl. the CGI-queries and output) on my windows computer and then put it easy to the UNIX-server? Perhaps so many questions, but after searching some weeks in the web I have a lot of material, but do not know where to start at all. We have a good knowledge in programming pascal and delphi and programming would be no problem if I knew only which progs, tools and apps I have to use to build the car database on the web.

It's almost impossible to do anything with a reported core dump problem without either a stack trace or a small test case which I can reproduce. Your problem is that you are calling ora_open or ora_bind with a bad cursor. You can confirm this by adding the following line *above* your use Oraperl line BEGIN { $Oraperl::safe = 1 } In other words it's a problem in your script. I've just added the following lines to Oraperl.pm: # Help those who get core dumps from non-'safe' Oraperl (bad cursors) use sigtrap qw(ILL); $SIG{BUS} = $SIG{SEGV} = sub { print STDERR "Add BEGIN { \$Oraperl::safe=1 } above 'use Oraperl'.\n" unless $safe; goto &sigtrap::trap; }; I'm very tempted to make safe=1 the default (as mentioned in a recent message). Can someone do some benchmarks with/without safe=1 for me?

I am hoping that you can shed some light on my problems and help me get unstuck. In one situation, I am calling a stored pl/sql procedure (or function) that is stored within an Oracle database. I do this by using the &ora_open command. The problem lies in that I would like the stored pl/sql procedure to return a value (i.e. return code) to a variable within the Oraperl script, to be used elsewhere within the Oraperl script. Is this feasible? Or am I just dreaming. In another situation, I am trying to run Oracle reports 2.5 (motif) from the command line within a Oraperl script. This I can accomplish easily with a straight unix script, however I am trying to use Oraperl. I use the &ora_login command and then call the Oracle reports runtime by using the system command (i.e. system(r25runm ...)). This results in a "REP-0001 Unable to access message sub-system" error. Any idea on how to resolve this? It has been noted, that the environment variable TWO-TASK gets deleted during the running of an Oraperl script. I wonder if this could be the cause. Well that's the problems that I'm trying to overcome, and any help what so ever would be greatly appreciated. If need be, I would be willing to give you a call in order to further discuss this.

I then generated a reply page. This system worked really well until the database exceeded 800-900 records. It then became a muscle problem and the interface was just too slow. The best part about this though, is that there are enough templates/examples and what have you out in the web that it is fairly easy to figure out what needs to be done. We kept the database updated by exporting a new database file at the end of the business day and transfering it to the unix host. fenris (@solon.com) We live not alone in the present but also in the past and future.

I'm not doing DBD::Ingres any time soon. Some else (I forget who, sorry) did offer but I've heard nothing since. Note that IngPerl only works with perl4, and any future DBD::Ingres would only work with perl5.

I tried adding: BEGIN { $Oraperl::safe = 1 } at the beginning of my script to see where the problem is, and, voila!, with that line in place, the script no longer core dumps! When I take it out of the script, it once again core dumps. I haven't done thorough testing yet to make sure all of my other scripts will be so magically fixed. Does safe=1 provide some benevolent side effects? The one question I had to your response, is why I would see intermittent problems with this (it doesn't seem to be consistent where it bombs in the script). Is there some "garbage collection" of out-of-scope cursors (either on the DBI/DBD layer or Oracle layers) that may be kicking in too early?

Try manually setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the full path of the directory holding the libclntsh.so.1.0 file. See the ld unix man page for more info. I'm assuming your perl isn't set-uid. I think I forgot to suggest that earlier. Sorry. I'd be happy to persue this on the dbi-users mailing list (CC'd).

For any mailing list, the -request address is always made up of the mailing list name, followed by -request, followed by the `@' character, followed by the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which that list resides. In the case of dbi-users@fugue.com, the mailing list name is dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the -request address is dbi-users-request@fugue.com. If you wanted to unsubscribe to, e.g., risks@csl.sri.com, you would send mail to risks-request@csl.sri.com. This is very consistent across most mailing lists you will encounter, although sadly there are some mailing lists where the maintainer has been too lazy to set up -request addresses. Still, you should try the -request address first. Now, having explained all that, in order to avoid being flamed to a crisp when you get the response from dbi-users-request and realize that there's another step, I will tell you that what the dbi-users-request address actually does is to send you instructions saying, essentially, that you should go to http://www.fugue.com/dbi with your favourite web browser (I recommend Netscape or Lynx) to unsubscribe. _MelloN_ ----- End Included Message ----- ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <13565-11@oink>; Tue, 18 Jun 1996 07:08:13 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 835057925:15850:2; Tue, 18 Jun 96 01:32:05 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa15590; 18 Jun 96 1:31 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id OAA16637 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 17 Jun 1996 14:05:26 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-2.mail.demon.net (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id OAA16633 for ; Mon, 17 Jun 1996 14:05:20 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-2.mail.demon.net id aj23248; 17 Jun 96 21:39 +0100 Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id ab18011; 17 Jun 96 21:33 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <11664-0@oink>; Mon, 17 Jun 1996 21:30:21 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA00202; Mon, 17 Jun 1996 21:30:14 +0000 Date: Mon, 17 Jun 1996 21:30:14 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9606172030.AA00202@toad.ig.co.uk> To: T.L.Priest@urlabs.com Subject: Re: DBI-0.70 + DBD-Oracle-0.32 Problems Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 1613 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: Travis L Priest > > Mon, 17 June 1996, Tim Bunce wrote: > > > > > From: Travis L Priest > > > DB: Oracle 7.3 > > > > 7.3.?.?.? > > Err, Oracle 7.2.2.3 Release of Sun SPARC Solaris2.

That would be rather strange. > I have had a few different examples of crashes with some of my scripts. For the backtrace that I originally sent you, you were right, I did find a cursor referenced that had not been properly initialized. Another script, however, gave intermittent "bus errors" when I ran it prior to setting safe = 1. After setting safe =1, I cannot reproduce the problem. I did not change any of the code. This is an intermittent problem, so I am wondering if there are any known unix environment issues (e.g., disk space, memory, system kernel parameters, etc) that might affect this. In the short run, I will continue to run with safe=1 and see if the error resurfaces. I did save the core file for the last time it crashed in this context, but for that core dump, I cannot even obtain a decent backtrace (below). I have sent you a separate message re: your advice to T.L. Priest about recompiling with improved diagnostics, perhaps you can send me the same file. By the way, I think some of my intermittent bus errors may be related to what T.L. Priest and David Lebel have reported; I have seen bus errors occur on "exit" after a successful &ora_logoff.

The only thing I know about is the DBD link on the DBI home page. I've run into a bug in Oraperl and it's not listed on that DBD page. Basically, I get an array back from ora_fetch, assign an array reference to it, and then try to refer to that reference after exiting a block. Turns out that the array has been garbage collected when I exit the block. If I copy the array inside the block and make a reference to the copy, then I can refer to the array outside the block.

I checked some search engines and found that libthread seems to be the culprit. Apparently this is a known problem with perl5.002. One solution is to add "-lthread" to the file ext.libs in the perl distribution and recompile. That made DBD and DBI work for me with my Oracle installation, but not all tests are passing (for perl that is -- namely magic is failing now.) Someone alluded to writing fake stubs for the functions in libthread as a work-around. But they pointed to a "SunSolve bug database" which I don't have access to :-( Now my oraperl script runs but complains at the end: Bad free() ignored during global destruction.

Hmmm, this sheds a bit more light on the problem. I, as yet, haven't had time to upgrade my Solaris box to look at the problem, so I'm wondering if Sun have unbundled threading out of the linker by default. In 2.3 and 2.4, libthread was sorta tacked on the end, although there were stubs in libc which would stop linkage failure. A brain-damaged solution, since all thread code failed miserably, with often no reason why, until you looked closely at your link line. They may have done the same again, although, since Solaris threads are now a wrapper to POSIX-compliant threads, I wonder if adding libthread explicitly is solving the problem. I'd recommend it. I wouldn't recommend using ldd to see what's failed to link. It sort of lies. If someone else could confirm or deny, much appreciated.

Does it 'bad free' only if the connect works, or fails, or either? (And then try it using the 0.33 I've just released. See the notes in the README.) I'm almost certainly going to need a stack trace to track this down (as per previous mail). At the end of the day I suspect it'll be an Oracle library bug. Sigh.

Try using DBD::Oracle 0.33 (just released). If it core dumps then rebuild the Makefile using perl Makefile.PL -g rerun it and get a stack trace from the new core file.

Do not upgrade to this version unless you have an existing build or core dump problem with DBD::Oracle. Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.33 (Oraperl 1.27), 19th June 1996 Added Makefile.PL -g option to enable debugging. Added Makefile.PL -s symbol_name option to search for symbols. Added README notes about -g option, core files and stack traces. Reorganised the way Makefile.PL uses MakeMaker liblist code. Oraperl defaults to the 'safe' (normal) mode of using the DBI. Oraperl uses sigtrap on SEGV & BUS to give a perl stack trace. Small change to $dbname/$user/$passwd logic in connect. This release should fix the libclntsh.so not found problem. It _may_ also fix others (but more by luck than judgement). It's been uploaded (63875 bytes) to ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBD/Oracle/DBD-Oracle-0.33.tar.Z and should find it's way to CPAN via PAUSE over the next day or so.

To convince yourseld that the hint is passed to the server, just set sql_trace to true and look at the trace file. Phil.

I installed DBI 0.70 and DBD 0.33 yesterday and they work fine for Oracle 7.3.2 Solaris 2.5 with some extra help. To make them work (just in case anyone else needs to do this): 1) We recompiled Perl with -lthread as suggested earlier 2) We installed DBI just fine 3) We installed DBD changing the test script to ignore bad free warnings (as also suggested earlier) because it was still complaining. It works just fine in the tests I have done so far except for one thing. If I have the environment variable ORA_NLS32 set (right now it is set to: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/7.3.2/ocomon/nls/admin/data), then DBD::Oracle crashes with the following error: Can't call method "prepare" without a package or object reference at /opt/gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/Oraperl.pm line 102. unsetting the environment variable causes the script to execute normally.

If you still get a core dump rebuild DBD::Oracle with debugging enabled by executing: perl Makefile.PL -g (note the -g option) then rerun the code to get a new core dump file, finally use a debugger (gdb, sdb, dbx, adb etc) to get a stack trace from it.

There are gzip'd tar files in the Perl DB archive which cover just about everything: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBI/perldb-interest/ It starts on 16 Oct 1992. It totals over 2Mb _gzipped_!

If desparate try: make perl; ./perl script; echo '$c' | adb ./perl core ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle 7.3 on Solaris 2.5 (maybe others): libc internal error: _rmutex_unlock: rmutex not held. - Try passing explicit db sid name to ora_login or connect. - Try removing clntsh from the list of libraries to link to (edit Makefile). - Try adding -lthread to the list of libraries to link to (edit Makefile). If any of these work please let me know (include full version info). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bad free() warnings: These are generally cause by problems in Oracle's own library code. You can use this code to hide them: $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn $_[0] unless $_[0] =~ /^Bad free/ } But please let me know if you have this problem (include full version info). Rather than simply hiding it it would be much better to help me fix it! Follow the instructions in step 5 above (for generating a version of DBD::Oracle with debugging enabled) and then use the following code to generate a core dump at the point the bad free happens. $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { $_[0] =~ /^Bad free/ ? dump : warn $_[0] } Follow the instructions in step 5 above for getting a stack trace from the core file and then send it to me along with the other information requested in the 'If you have problems' section. > Also, is there an archive of this mailing list somewhere that I > could get and comb thru old messages? Thanks, Bill Rodgers, Sirius > Inc., Denver CO. There are gzip'd tar files in the Perl DB archive which cover just about everything: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBI/perldb-interest/ It starts on 16 Oct 1992. It totals over 2Mb _gzipped_! I think there's a WWW archive somewhere but I can't remember where. It'll probably be listed at http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI.

I'll leave this to other people trying to install DBD::Oracle because I don't want to reinstall stuff now that it works!

You were correct, I was not checking to see if ora_login failed. However, once I added error checking, the following line: $lda = ora_login($mysid, $myname, $mypass) || die $ora_errstr; dies with the following error: ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side (DBD: login failed) at ./oratest.pl line 10. unsetting the ORA_NLS32 environment variable lets it work again.

I did this as a test because of Solaris bug #1224467 (found in the Installation Notes for Solaris 2.5). This is what it says: "If you use -lthread, your program can cause a core dump.

But didn't your ld complain about the -mt flag? Umm, perhaps it read it as -m & -t (both valid flags). Could you retry (make clean etc) with _just_ removing -lthread. That way we'd know for sure. Once I hear confirmation from you I'll make another DBD::Oracle release with that workaround in it. Meanwhile others with the _rmutex_unlock problem might like to try the same thing (edit Makefile and delete all instances of -lthread).

Helps? It nails it on the head! Thank you. I hope one of the Oracle people on this list can get this logged as a bug (at a high priority). Or maybe tell us what version it was fixed in. There is really no excuse for a company like Oracle shipping code which does bad free's. Tools like Purify and Pure Coverage should make this kind of bug a thing of the past. I'll see if I can put in a workaround. What I'm thinking of will only work if you actually call the Oraperl ora_logoff() function. I note that you're bad free just might not be the same as some others have reported so I'd still like to have some other people (especially 7.3 users getting Bad free's) do the same as Dan so I can see what's happening on your setup and compare them. Thanks again Dan.

More a case of being too busy. I'd certainly be very grateful if someone did a DBD::Ingres, even it it was only just sufficient to implement an Ingperl emulation layer (a _vital_ thing to have). It should not be very difficult to do a basic DBD::Ingres. Find an existing DBD that's based on embedded SQL (if any?) and copy it.

Thanks. This sounds like a good solution but it also sounds like it's specific to sun's own C compiler (the ld linker doesn't have a -mt option). Can you get the compiler to show you what args it's passing to the linker with and without -mt? That way I might be able to replicate the change via Makefile.PL. Can someone see if Sun have generated a patch for this bug yet? > I still have the "Bad free() ignored during global destruction." error. See my reply to Dan Smith's mail.

I've not had time to get back to you yet because I've been too busy (mainly fighting Solaris -lthread and Oracle Bad free() problems for dbi-users people). The Makefile.PL prints the message: Remember to actually *READ* the README file! The README asks for some specific information which you've not given. Especially the version of DBD::Oracle you used. You should be using at least 0.32. 0.33 is out and worth a try if you have library problems. 0.34 will be out very soon (mainly for Solaris -lthread bugs). The $MK{mkver} is not set when using Oracle 7.3 and that does not cause any problems for newer versions of DBD::Oracle so I guess you've an old one. The fact it can't find libocic.a is strange (since DBD::Oracle reads Oracle own makefiles). The fact you've not included the build log which the README asks for means I can't help you any more right now. Please get the latest version from ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/DBD/Oracle (go for 0.33, or 0.34 if it's there by the time you take a look) and then send any problems (with full information) to the dbi-users mailing list and I, or someone else, will help you ASAP.

With many thanks to James Taylor. Further additions to the README about Bad free()'s. Added 'Bad free()' warning suppression to ora_logon and ora_logoff(). Setting the DBD_DUMP environment variable will trigger a (handy for me) core dump if a Bad free warning is detected. This version is recommended for those using Solaris 2.5 and/or Oracle 7.3. Others are welcome to try it. It should be stable. Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual (64825 bytes). On CPAN in a day or two.

I have Oracle on a machine named yoda. I have a web server with a CGI script that needs access to yoda's data (server name is busboy). Since busboy does not run Oracle, it does not have the SQL*NET installed. It's actually running a different OS than yoda. Can I use DBI in a CGI script on busboy to talk to Oracle on yoda? I realize that compiling DBD::Oracle requires the Oracle libraries, so I'm pretty sure I'm out of luck (since I don't have libraries for busboy).

My reading of all this -lthread and mutex error business (on Solaris 2.5) is that if you dynamically load a shared object into an executable then either both or neither should be linked with -lthread. For the time being deleting -lthread from DBD::Oracle's library list seems to be a viable way forward. That's what v0.34 does. At some point MakeMaker's liblist function could be modified to automatically delete -lthread from a liblist if perl is not linked with -lthread, and automatically add -lthread to a liblist if perl was built with -lthread but the liblist doesn't include it. I'm sure they'll be many other threading issues to address in time but this has certainly bitten us. CC'd to the makemaker mailing list.

If the database happens to go down and be brought back up during that time, it looks like any attempted operations on the connection return either ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel or ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE So I can then close the connection and re-open it, and things work fine. In fact, I can even do a `dummy' operation (like SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL) to see if the connection is still open, before doing any `real' retrievals. My question is: is there a better or more `approved' way to find out if an Oracle connection is still really connected to the database?

Using Oraperl and Perl5 I wrote, on DEC OSF1 Alpha machine, a daemon which logs once to Oracle, handles database querries which come from another machine and sends results back. Everything is fine, roughly, with an exception of one nasty gotcha. The daemon is loosing around 150K of memory per incoming request. I checked my code for possible "lost references" and rewrote it a bit to make sure that memory is not kept that way. It did not help. So I rewrote the daemon using Perl4 and oraperl 2.4 - which I stil have. (This turned out to be more laborious than expected; one is getting used to good things really fast :-). That new daemon not only does not have a memory leak, but it also has quite a bit smaller footprint, which is not without signifince in a program of such kind. Surprise, as in an old oraperl everything is linked statically. The daemon does not fork any subprocess to handle incoming connection. This is done on purpose as to "serialize" responses. Currently it seems likely that a queue on a socket should be more than enough to handle congestions in an incoming traffic. A kind of a "companion daemon", also written in Perl5 but which runs on Linux machine and which, obviously, does not use Oraperl, does not show any memory leaks and in general behaves like one would want it to. These two things (oraperl 2.4 and Linux) together seem to indicate that the problem is indeed inside Oraperl/DBI, but make your own interpretations. I have installed currently DBD-Oracle-0.34 and DBI-0.70 but I have seen exactly the same thing with DBD-Oracle-0.32 and DBI-0.69. Details of my Perl configuration are included below. So, the question is - can anybody shed a light on what is going on? Similar experiences or experiences to the contrary?

I figured others may find this useful as well (would also help Tim ward off the 10+ posts a week from people who can't figure out how to compile DBI :-) Thanks -- James BTW, I'm doing this for a few other lists as well, such as mod_perl, postgres95, and fastcgi.

For any mailing list, the -request address is always made up of the mailing list name, followed by -request, followed by the `@' character, followed by the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which that list resides. In the case of dbi-users@fugue.com, the mailing list name is dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the -request address is dbi-users-request@fugue.com. If you wanted to unsubscribe to, e.g., risks@csl.sri.com, you would send mail to risks-request@csl.sri.com. This is very consistent across most mailing lists you will encounter, although sadly there are some mailing lists where the maintainer has been too lazy to set up -request addresses. Still, you should try the -request address first. Now, having explained all that, in order to avoid being flamed to a crisp when you get the response from dbi-users-request and realize that there's another step, I will tell you that what the dbi-users-request address actually does is to send you instructions saying, essentially, that you should go to http://www.fugue.com/dbi with your favourite web browser (I recommend Netscape or Lynx) to unsubscribe. _MelloN_ ----- End Included Message ----- ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <02974-0@oink>; Tue, 25 Jun 1996 16:32:00 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 835711680:04029:2; Tue, 25 Jun 96 15:08:00 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa03397; 25 Jun 96 15:07 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id GAA07961 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 25 Jun 1996 06:55:21 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-2.mail.demon.net (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id GAA07956 for ; Tue, 25 Jun 1996 06:51:48 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-2.mail.demon.net id ak12275; 25 Jun 96 14:42 +0100 Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa05829; 25 Jun 96 12:50 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <01978-0@oink>; Tue, 25 Jun 1996 12:50:30 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA04963; Tue, 25 Jun 1996 12:50:21 +0000 Date: Tue, 25 Jun 1996 12:50:21 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9606251150.AA04963@toad.ig.co.uk> To: dbi-users@fugue.com, michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca Subject: Re: Memory leak X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 2515 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca (Michal Jaegermann) > > I wonder if somebody knows something about the following problem. > > Using Oraperl and Perl5 I wrote, on DEC OSF1 Alpha machine, a daemon > which logs once to Oracle, handles database querries which come from > another machine and sends results back.

A handy trick, which has worked well for me in the past, is to let the program leak till it's very large, then core dump it (kill -QUIT pid). You can then use strings and/or a binary file viewer (less is good) to simply look at the bloat in the core file (about 75% of the way through). You'll have to do this yourself as it's simply not possible for me to find a leak without a small test case. *If* you can give me a small test case that demonstrates that my code leaks I'll fix it at once. Till then you're the only person reporting a memory leak with the current release and, given the amount, I find it hard to believe that it's the fault of the DBI or DBD::Oracle.

No, an amount of data returned varies. In limit cases it may range from 0 (plus small identifying header not coming from a database) to around 1 Meg in practice (in theory this is limited only by a size of the table in question). > How many queries are there per incoming request? One, but repeated as many times in a loop a number of time intervals present (typically five). > > Take that code and add the line > > eval 'use Oraperl; 1' || die $@ if $] >= 5; > > and then see if it leaks under Perl5.

Currently no driver exists for Postgres95, although one is planned for development this summer. If you want, email Paul Walmsley (ccshag@cclabs.missouri.edu), and tell him you're interested in hearing about updates. Otherwise stick with the pg95perl interface for Postgres. It works just fine. But I use Oracle and Postgres, and would like to have a common interface for both. Paul is a *bright* fellow, and knows his way around Postgres95 pretty well (he did the IRIX port). So I expect a driver sometime this summer. Cheers, -- James .........................................................................

http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/DBD/index.html#Oracle Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I apologize if this problem is not relevant to this list. I recently upgraded from Oracle 7.0.16 to 7.2.3 using Perl 5 and Oraperl Emulation. It worked fine under 7.0.16 but now I am having problems - inconsistently. I have some scripts that work always and some that hang for a minute - always - and then fall thru sucessfully ... no errors - no warnings - just SLOW success. I am setting ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID and using those in my ora_login function. I've found a few messages with a similar problem - but no solution yet.

Are you setting %ENV in Perl? It looks like Perl/Oraperl is unhappy, for some strange reason, if you set %ENV yourself before including Oraperl. It's actually much faster to write a five-line shell program that sets the environment, and then calls the Perl/Oraperl program so that %ENV inherits the right values from the parent shell process.

That should make a difference and I'd be interested in how much. It would also be worth compiling a perl with the DBI, DBD::Oracle and the oracle libs statically linked into it (like oraperl 2.4 has). That would be *especially* important if you have more than one perl + DBD::Oracle loaded at one time. When you rerun the benckmark please just send the 2nd and 12th (say) ps lines for each config. The other significant difference is that I've not got around to implementing a row cache for DBD::Oracle (oraperl v2.4 has one). I plan to implement a row cache in a month or two (no promises). > Now, an intereresting question is what was leaking in the original. :-) Good question.

I am using Perl version 5.0 patch level 2. I have successfully installed DBI-0.70 with no problems. The problem arises when trying to install DBD-Oracle-0.35. Everything goes well until the make test, when tests 4 and 5 fail trying to install a driver. I have read some of the old mailing lists I found on the net and others seem to have had similar problems, but none of the fix-its have worked!!

HP-UX 10 and Oracle 7.2.x do work together when creating dynamic libraries. The problem was older Oracle libraries were built without the +z flag to cc, and were therefore position-dependent libraries that can't be linked dynamically. Newer Oracle releases don't have this problem and it may be possible to even use the newer Oracle libraries under HP-UX 9. Oracle 7.3 will ONLY work under HP-UX 10, however. tog -----------------------------v------------v------------------------------ Onsite @ Lockheed Martin | Terry | Encompass Technologies z50816@mip.mar.lmco.com | | terry@encompasstech.com http://www.lmco.com | Greenlaw | http://www.encompasstech.com -----------------------------^------------^------------------------------ ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <11714-0@oink>; Mon, 1 Jul 1996 17:50:47 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 836239664:27007:4; Mon, 01 Jul 96 17:47:44 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa26850; 1 Jul 96 17:47 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA24036 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 1 Jul 1996 09:40:40 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-4.mail.demon.net (relay-4.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.108]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id JAA24032 for ; Mon, 1 Jul 1996 09:40:35 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id af29901; 1 Jul 96 16:40 GMT Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa04697; 1 Jul 96 17:13 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <11472-0@oink>; Mon, 1 Jul 1996 17:12:59 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA19833; Mon, 1 Jul 1996 17:12:46 +0000 Date: Mon, 1 Jul 1996 17:12:46 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9607011612.AA19833@toad.ig.co.uk> To: hfalken@x4u2.desy.de Subject: Re: can't build DBD on HP Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 382 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: Harald Falkenberg > > Hi, > > I followed your advice, but there are still problems during the 'make test' > step for DBD 0.35 on our HP/UX (OS 9.05).

My latest experience (trying to bring up a minimal Oracle installation to test Oracle 7.3.2 and Solaris 2.5) suggests that you need SQL*net, Pro*C, AND the rdbms to BUILD the DBD. You would think that you would only need SQL*net and Pro*C, but the build seems to need an include file from rdbms/demo. I don't have my notes, but I think that it was oratypes.h that the build couldn't find if the rdbms tree was not installed. After the DBD module is built, I would think that you would only need SQL*net and the OCI libraries, but I HAVE NOT VERIFIED THIS. It would be nice to see a good answer as to what you need as a minimum to both BUILD and DEPLOY.

Basic Information & Information Sources 1. What is DBI, DBPerl, Oraperl and oraperl? 2. Where can I get it from? 3. Where can I get more information? 2. Compilation problems or "It fails the tests!" + DBI + Oracle + mSQL + Informix 3. Further Information _________________________________________________________________ 1.1 What is DBI, DBPerl, Oraperl and oraperl? To quote Tim Bunce, the architect and author of DBI: "DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for the Perl Language. The DBI API Specification defines a set of functions, variables and conventions that provide a consistent database interface independant of the actual database being used." In simple language, the DBI interface allows users to access multiple database types transparently. So, if you connecting to an Oracle, Informix, mSQL, Sybase or whatever database, you don't need to know the underlying mechanics of the 3GL layer. The API defined by DBI will work on all these database types. A similar benefit is gained by the ability to connect to two different databases of different vendor within the one perl script, ie, I want to read data from an Oracle database and insert it back into an Informix database all within one program. The DBI layer allows you to do this simply and powerfully. DBPerl is the old name for the interface specification. It's usually now used to denote perl4 modules on database interfacing, such as, oraperl, isqlperl, ingperl and so on. These interfaces didn't have a standard API and are generally not supported. However, some DBI modules have DBPerl emulation layers, so, DBD::Oracle comes with an Oraperl emulation layer, which allows you to run legacy oraperl scripts wihtout modification. The emulation layer translates the oraperl API calls into DBI calls and executes them through the DBI switch. _________________________________________________________________ 1.2. Where can I get it from? DBI is primarily distributed from: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db Unfortunately, this site tends to be clogged most of the day. A mirror site has been set up at: ftp://ftp.mcqueen.com/pub/databases/DBI which currently is more accessible. The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network resources should be used for retrieving up-to-date versions of the drivers, since local mirror sites usually lag. For more specific version information and exact URLs of drivers, please see the drivers list and the DBI Switch pages. _________________________________________________________________ 1.3. Where can I get more information? There are a few information sources on DBI. * DBI Specification http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/doc/dbispec The DBI Specification lays out the DBI interface. It should be noted that some modules, notably DBD::mSQL and DBD::Informix, vary from this occasionally. This document should be regarded as being of historical interest only and should not serve as a programming manual, or authoratative in any sense. * Oraperl POD documentation For users of the Oraperl emulation layer bundled with DBD::Oracle, typing: perldoc Oraperl will produce an updated copy of the original oraperl man page written by Kevin Stock for perl4. The oraperl API is fully listed and described there. * Rambles, Tidbits and Observations http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/index.html#tidbits There are a serious of occasional rambles from various people on the DBI mailing lists who, in an attempt to clear up a simple point, end up drafting fairly comprehensive documents. These are quite often varying in quality, but do provide some insights into the workings of the interfaces. * The DBI driver If you locate the driver file DBI.pm in your perl library directory, at the end of that file, the DBI interface is listed with correct invocations. * Mailing Lists http://www.fugue.com/dbi There are three mailing lists for DBI run by Ted Lemon. These are: + dbi-announce This mailing list is for announcements only. Very low traffic. The announcements are usually posted on the main DBI WWW page. If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner: Email: dbi-announce-request@fugue.com with a message body of subscribe + dbi-dev This mailing list is intended for the use of developers discussing ideas and concepts for the DBI interface, API and driver mechanics. Only any use for developers, or interested parties. Low traffic. If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner: Email: dbi-dev-request@fugue.com with a message body of subscribe + dbi-users This mailing list is a general discussion list used for bug reporting, problem discussion and general enquiries. Medium traffic. If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner: Email: dbi-users-request@fugue.com with a message body of subscribe * Mailing List Archives http://www.coe.missouri.edu/~faq/lists/dbi.html Searchable hypermail archives of the three mailing lists, and some of the much older traffic have been set up for users to browse. _________________________________________________________________ 2.1. Compilation problems or "It fails the test!" First off, consult the online information about the module, beit DBI itself, or a DBD, and see if it's a known compilation problem on your architecture. These documents can be found at: http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI If it's a known problem, you'll probably have to wait till it gets fixed. If you're really needing it fixed, try the following: * Attempt to fix it yourself This technique is generally not recommended to the faint-hearted. If you do think you have managed to fix it, then, send a patch file ( context diff ) to the author with an explanation of: + What the problem was, and test cases, if possible. + What you needed to do to fix it. Please make sure you mention everything. + Platform information, database version, perl version, module version and DBI version. * Email the author Do NOT whinge! We tend to have real jobs to do, and we do read the mailing lists for problems. Besides, we may not have access to and couldn't be of any assistance anyway! Apologies for sounding harsh, but that's the way of it! However, you might catch one of these creative genii at 3am when we're doing this sort of stuff anyway, and get a patch within 5 minutes. The atmosphere in the DBI circle is that we do appreciate the users' problems, since we work in similar environments. If you are planning to email the author, please furnish as much information as possible, ie: + ALL the information off the README file in the problematic module. And we mean ALL of it. We don't put lines like that in documentation for the good of our health, or to meet obscure README file standards of length. + If you have a core dump, try the Devel::CoreStack module for generating a stack trace from the core dump. Send us that too. Devel::CoreStack can be found at ftp://ftp.mcqueen.com/pub/research/Devel-CoreStack-1.3.tar.g z + Module versions, perl version, test cases, operating system versions and any other pertinent information. Remember, the more information you send us, the quicker we can track problems down. If you send us nothing, expect nothing back. * Email the dbi-users Mailing List It's usually a fairly intelligent idea to cc the mailing list anyway with problems. The authors all read the lists, so you lost nothing by mailing there. 2.2 DBI Compilation Problems Here are some of the most common DBI compilation and test failure problems. _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ © 1995 Hermetica Alligator Descartes - Hermetica -- Alligator Descartes | "You fuckoffeh?"

I am running Perl 5 and the DBI database connectivity on a Sun system to talk to an Oracle Database, the Web server I am using is the Oracle Web Server. I have Perl 5 with the Oracle bits and pieces up and running and it works well,from a terminal session (Sun Solaris 2.5) I can run Perl programs and access the Oracle database with no problems. The problems start when I try and do the same from the Web Browser. A straight Perl progam works with the Web with no trouble but as soon as I put in the line: use DBI; the Oracle web browser gives me an error message, the error message is: The server had an internal error and could not process the request. Which is not a lot of help. If I comment out the Oracle connectivity stuff it works fine and the Oracle stuff works fine if I run the perl program from a terminal session! Any ideas?? I have tried setting the environemtnal variables in the Web session to be the same as the terminal session using the $ENV variable (eg; $ENV{"HOME"} = "/dir/dir/home";) but to no avail. If anyone has any ideas could they please mail me direct to: s.bainbridge@aims.gov.au or reply to the group.

The core dump occurs when executing the insert (the `prepare' works fine). Note that there is no problem with the insert statement, and none of the a table integrity constraints are violated by the data I'm inserting. I've attached the `perl -V' output and will follow up with a stack trace (once I work out how to get one). The current installation of DBI and DBD passed all tests. The problem occurs with our previous installation as well (DBI v0.68, DBD v0.28). I'm currently scouring the DBI and DBD code to see if I can find the problem. It appears that there is an array overflow happening somewhere. I'd appreciate any suggestions about where this overflow is occuring.

This means that the CGI program exited with non-zero status. Usually, it's because of perl giving some compilation error, and this is particularly likely if it's failing when you add a "use" line. You should be using perl -w, and preferably "use strict" too, but it's often a good idea to check the program with perl -c from the command line before invoking it with via a browser. For what it's worth, here's Steve's Oracle Webserver Checklist. For the most part, they assume that you're trying to invoke PL/SQL procedures directly through Oracle's PL/SQL Agent, rather than just calling a Perl CGI script, but I've found that I've had to use both Perl and PL/SQL, so perhaps you will too. :-) Symptom: When attempting to access URLs such as: http://host:8080/ows-bin/service/owa/pkg.proc the server responds with "Request failed. We were unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later." Cause: (i) The listener can't read the configuration file owa.cfg. (ii) The listener is attempting to invoke the PL/SQL procedure named, but can't, for some reason. Fix: (i) Make sure that /home/oracle/owa2/admin/owa.cfg is readable by the user that the listener runs as. (ii) (a) Check that the Oracle user for the listener has the permissions to invoke such functions: do "pkg.proc" in sqlplus. There won't be any output, but it should say that it ran ok. (b) Make sure that the names of the input fields in the form match up exactly with the names of the parameters in the script. There must be a one-to-one mapping. (c) If you've got multiple-value fields, such as SELECTs, make sure they're of the right type (defined in the OWA_UTIL package), and that there's an extra value supplied by a hidden field to force at least one value to be selected. (iii) If all else fails, the procedure is probably raising an exception. Put OTHERS exception handlers around everything and print out error messages in them. Symptom: When attempting to access URLs such as: http://host:8080/ows-bin/service/owa/pkg.proc the server responds with "Requested URL was not found on this server". Cause: This is due to there not being a mapping in the service listener's Virtual Directory Mappings configuration, of the form: /home/oracle/ows2/bin/ CN /ows-bin/service/ so the "owa" program isn't found. Fix: Create the virtual directory mapping, halt the listener, and restart it. ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <22111-1@oink>; Mon, 8 Jul 1996 12:13:22 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 836817508:18513:1; Mon, 08 Jul 96 10:18:28 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa17723; 8 Jul 96 10:17 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id CAA05413 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 8 Jul 1996 02:09:56 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net (relay-1.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.140]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id CAA05409 for ; Mon, 8 Jul 1996 02:09:54 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id ae21211; 8 Jul 96 10:09 +0100 Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id ab12574; 8 Jul 96 10:09 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <21401-0@oink>; Mon, 8 Jul 1996 10:08:26 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA21851; Mon, 8 Jul 1996 10:08:18 +0000 Date: Mon, 8 Jul 1996 10:08:18 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9607080908.AA21851@toad.ig.co.uk> To: mhm@austin.ibm.com Subject: Re: DB2 disconnect problem Cc: ric@cais.cais.com, dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 767 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: mhm@austin.ibm.com > > Tim Bunce writes: > |> > |> > From: Ric Foster > |> > > |> > I assume that close is accomplished by $cursor->finish. > |> > |> Yes.

Shure, lots of. But you didn't supply sufficient background to decide what is the right one. First of all: You have a CGI problem, not a perl or dbi problem. Following my sig is the advice Tom Christiansen collected for people with this kind of probs. He called it "The Idiot's Guide to Solving Perl CGI Problems". You can find it at http://www.perl.com/perl/faq/idiots-guide.html, too. sebastian -- __o Sebastian Meyer Tel: 0421/22095-32 | megatel GmbH _ \<,_ eMail: meyer@megatel.de | Wienerstr. 3 (_)/ (_) [http://muffin.physik.uni-bremen.de/] | D-28359 Bremen ~~~~~~~~~~ "To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer" =============================================================================== From: Tom Christiansen Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi,comp.lang.perl.misc Subject: The Idiot's Guide to Solving Perl CGI Problems (update) Followup-To: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi If you're like most people on the newsgroup, you've presented us with the clasiqumsimo CGI problem: "it doesn't work", without providing us sufficient background to divine what the real problem is. This is infuriating, because is makes you come off like some drooling idiot begging for free consulting help without having done any investigation on your own part. This drives people away who could otherwise help you and impoverishes the Net by exacerbating the already annoyingly low signal-to-noise ratio. For a start, you need to look through the checklist below for a few simple questions that need answering. While some sample answers are provided, you'll have to figure them out on your own. ========================================================================= Who owns the script? e.g. I do. What are the script's permissions? e.g. 0755 Is your script in the right directory? e.g. No, I forgot to put it in /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/. Is CGI execution enabled in your server for that directory and/or file suffix? e.g. No, my sysadmin forgot to configure it that way. Under what uid does the server runs its CGI programs? e.g. wwwuser (Oops, it can't write my files or directories.) Can the server's uid write any files you're trying to write? e.g. Nope -- I own the files, but it doesn't run as me and the permissions are 0600 instead of 0666. I guess that's why it can't open my own files. What happens when you run it interactively? e.g. I didn't know you could run these interactively because I never bothered to read the documentation for the CGI.pm library. What's in the server error log? e.g. I never thought to look. Oh, there it is -- never mind. Where's the server log? (No way to know -- it's system dependent. Check with your admin if you can't find it in /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs/error_log) What's the Perl version and OS version? (try perl -v and uname -a) e.g. Perl version 5.002, SunOS version 4.1.3 (if your Perl is below 5.002 in version, *UPGRADE NOW*) What's the library version? e.g. grep -i version in the library, or for CGI.pm, do this: $ perl -le 'use CGI; print $CGI::VERSION' 2.21 What's the path to your perl executable on the server? e.g. /contrib/bin/perl What's the path to your perl executable specified in your script? e.g. /usr/bin/perl (oops, of course it can't find it) What's the http daemon server's version number so people who might help you have a better clue about your local environment? e.g. NCSA 1.5 What happens when you add Perl's -w flag? e.g. It tells me about my silly mistakes that are listed in detail in the perldiag manpage where I diligently looked them up. What happens when you add Perl's -T flag? e.g. It tells me about security problems as described in the perlsec man page, which I've carefully read and understood. I even read the CGI Security faq in http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/WWW/faqs/www-security-faq.html What happens when you add `use strict'? e.g. It makes me declare my variables and quote my strings and finds all these silly errors which I've carefully corrected using my() declarations and quotes. Did you remember to flush STDOUT via $| = 1 at the top of your script? e.g. Nope; gosh, no wonder it doesn't get out before it bombs. What happens when you check return values of EACH AND EVERY ONE of your syscalls, probably with something like open(FILE, ">some_file") || die("can't write some_file: $!"); e.g. it show that $! contains "Permission denied" or "No such file or directory". Did you use the standard CGI.pm module to do this for you instead of parsing by hand (which would be a really idiotic idea) or use the more limited cgi-lib.pl library? e.g. No, I didn't know I didn't have to recreate the wheel (badly) and that I could get the neat CGI module from http://www.perl.com/cgi-bin/cgi_mod?modules=CGI If you used a library, did you type "make install" to place it in the proper system directory (somewhere in @INC, probably a lot like /usr/local/lib/perl/site_perl/CGI.pm) so it can be properly found and have its set permissions to 0644, or did you just blindly do a manual copy and screw up the path, permissions, or both? e.g. What's make? Looks like I just misinstalled it myself by a silly copy to cgi-bin and then I made it mode 0700. I guess that doesn't work at all, does it? Did you remember to post to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.misc, instead of blasting the comp.lang.perl.* groups with questions that aren't related to Perl in the least? e.g. Nope -- is that why I don't get any useful answers but just a bunch of flames instead? If you're running some brain-dead, bondage-and-discipline pseudo- operating system from The Evil Empire, did you bother to read what the Windoze Perl FAQ says about the Web? e.g., No, I didn't know about http://www.perl.hip.com/PerlFaq.htm Did you avoid placing an interpreter in your cgi-bin the way CERT and http://www.perl.com//perl/news/latro-announce.html warn you about? e.g. No, what's wrong with that? (noise of disk grinding to dust after corporate secrets stolen heard in the background) ========================================================================= Odds are that if you'd merely answer these questions and carry out the specified steps, you yourself would solve your very own problem without having to come begging for help and pissing off the Net. Once you have thoroughly investigated *ALL* of these matters on your own and perhaps even asking your buddy in the next cubicle whether he's seen anything like it, should you find that it's still a problem, then by all means please go ahead and post, but do make sure you give us plenty of details, including your own answers to all (or at least most) of the questions listed above. On the other hand, if most of those questions don't even begin to make the least bit of sense to you, you're already in way over your head. If this should be the case, you'd better hold off on CGI programming and go find yourself a local guru and check out some of the many books listed at http://wwwiz.com/books/cgi-perl.html IM!HO, the Addison-Wesley and O'Reilly books tend to be the most thorough, but there are so many out there that you'd do well to look them over yourself.

If not then install it. It's required. The real problem (apart from Oracle changing their makefiles with the phases of the moon) is that MakeMaker's getting indigestion when given a full library path. Here's a Makefile.PL workaround you can try: # get a cut down $linkwith to pass to MakeMaker liblist my $linkwith_s = expand_mkvars($linkwith, 1, 1); + # convert "/full/path/libFOO.a" into "-L/full/path -lFOO" + $linkwith_s =~ s!([/\w.]+)/lib(\w+).a!-L$1 -l$2!g; Let me know if it works ASAP and I'll drop it into the next release ASAP.

I noticed reports of success using the Oraperl interface on the mailing list, but I'm constrained to use DBI. When trying to insert a string into a long raw column, I get the following Oracle error message from the DBI `execute' function: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column (DBD: oexec error) I've tried the following variations with no success: 1. $sth = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO $table ($colname) VALUES (?)") (a) $sth->execute ($string) # -- string contains raw data (b) $sth->execute ($hexidecimal_string) # -- hexidecimal for raw data 2. $sth = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO $table ($colname) VALUES (HEXTORAW(?))") $sth->execute ($hexidecimal_string) # -- hexidecimal for raw data From reading the interpretation of this error from the Oracle messages and codes manual, it seems that either DBD-Oracle is forcing the type to 'LONG' when binding the variable, or that Oracle is getting confused about LONG and LONG RAW columns. From a search through the 'dbdimp.c' source, I can't find any obvious problems. Note that example 1(a) above works fine for LONG columns (and our interim solution is to change the type of the columns to LONG). Any comments or suggestions appreciated. I'm happy to test code changes if access to Oracle is a problem. Ta.

The work around is, instead of relying on `execute' to bind parameters (which gives them a VARCHAR2 type by default), use the `bind_param' function to bind them manually with explicit type attributes, e.g. $attrib{'ora_type'} = 24; # -- 24 is LONG RAW type code $sth->bind_param(1, $string, \%attrib); # -- must pass reference to attrib $sth->execute; # -- no parameters to execute In order for this to work, a bug in the DBD-Oracle `dbdimp.c' code had to be fixed. Context diffs are attached. From reading the code, it seems that the `bind_param' function with non-null attributes is untested (apart from my minimal testing). Use it with caution ...

The problem is the same with oraperl 2.4 and Perl5 w/oraperl emulation (DBD-Oralce). If we rebuild oraperl with the 7.0.16 libs - it works fine with the new oracle - but we hate to keep the old libs around. Some people advised me that that The problem with the "slow connects" was traced to the use of a putenv() call in our application code; apparently part of Oracle's code was getting confused if the environment section of a process was getting changed at all. The work around suggested was setting the ENV variables seperately. This can be done by using a seperate shell script (setting env) and then running the ora-perl scripts. It does work but the problem we have is, we are using the ora-perl scripts to access the Oracle database thru the WEB. and running the shell scripts to set env variables every time an ora-perl script is called to be executed. Is there simple way to set ENV variables using the shell scripts once ? Thanks in advance.

I was compiling it for Perl 5.003 under HP-UX version 10.01. You can see from the diff output below that the 'Makefile.PL' that comes with DBD::Oracle 0.35 refers to '$Config{osver}', but should refer to '$Config{osvers}'. The result is that 'Makefile.PL' thinks that the OS version is undefined. So the check to see if the version of HP-UX is less than 10 will always evaluate to true. This causes the static linking of the Oracle lib's into the Perl interpreter even though dynamic linking would work. Here is the diff output: # diff Makefile.PL Makefile.PL.broke 114,115c114,115 < if ($Config{osname} eq 'hpux' and $Config{osvers} < 10) { < print "Warning: forced to build static not dynamic on $Config{osname} $Config{osvers}\n"; --- > if ($Config{osname} eq 'hpux' and $Config{osver} < 10) { > print "Warning: forced to build static not dynamic on $Config{osname} $Config{osver}\n"; Hope this helps...

OK, what you want to do is explicitly name each column, for a start, eg, if the table 'cori' contains 2 fields called 'name' and 'number', then: $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select name, number from cori" ); if ( !defined $cursor ) { die "prepare failed: $DBI::errstr\n"; } $cursor->execute; while ( ( $name, $number ) = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print "Row: name = $name\tnumber = $number\n"; } $cursor->finish; undef $cursor; There is a way to do it groovily with a SELECT *, but I can't remember how I did it.

Apparently, the script I've written only works if I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Otherwise, it give me the following error: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/opt/local/perl5/lib/site_perl/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: /opt/local/bin/perl: fatal: libclntsh.so.1.0: can't open file: errno=2 at /opt/local/perl5/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 140. at /opt/local/perl5/lib/site_perl/DBD/Oracle.pm line 24 DBI::install_driver called at xx.pl line 7 This is not a problem when I ran my perl scripts by hand because I can set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable but I don't see a way to do this with CGI/Perl. BTW, I have tried to use $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'}=$ORACLE_HOME/lib but I haven't had any luck getting it to work. Is there a way around this error or procedure so that I don't need to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? Are there any compiler flags such as -R that will help this problem?

Your patch is just fine (I forget from time to time that hv_fetch needs an actual string length and won't work it out itself like many other perl functions). It'll be in the next release. And what a joy it is to receive a patch rather than bug report :-) Tim. ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <05375-27@oink>; Wed, 10 Jul 1996 03:03:11 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 836963083:20654:2; Wed, 10 Jul 96 02:44:43 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa20234; 10 Jul 96 2:43 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id SAA09263 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 9 Jul 1996 18:35:48 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from cs.pdx.edu (xuhao@cs.pdx.edu [204.203.64.22]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id SAA09259 for ; Tue, 9 Jul 1996 18:35:47 -0700 Received: (xuhao@localhost) by cs.pdx.edu (8.7.3/CATastrophe-2/10/96-P) id SAA28910; Tue, 9 Jul 1996 18:35:45 -0700 (PDT) for From: xuhao@cs.pdx.edu (Hao Xu) Message-Id: <199607100135.SAA28910@cs.pdx.edu> Subject: Question To: dbi-users@fugue.com Date: Tue, 9 Jul 1996 18:35:44 -0700 (PDT) Cc: xuhao@cs.pdx.edu (Hao Xu) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL13] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, there, Thanks for all the help from you. Now, I have nearly finished compiling, but whenever I run a DBperl script, there is 'Bus Error(core dump)' *after* the script is executed. I.E., things work now, but the last message of core dump frustrates me a lot, though it seems to be not prevent me from working:-> I found that the core dump is due to "eval 'use Oraperl; 1' || die $@ if ] >=5;" Could you give me any hint on this? This is my problem of installation or your bug? Thanks a lot, -Hao p.s.: besides, i didn't find the core file after all. ---+++---
