I've run into 3 problems building DBI-0.71 and DBD-Oracle-0.36. (The requirement for 5.003 may mean I'm SOL on NT for now....) Problem #1 ========== In proc.mk, CCFLAGS gets defined by the included file: include $(ORACLE_HOME)/precomp/env_precomp.mk to the value: CCFLAGS= -Xc -xstrconst -xcg92 -xF -mr -K PIC -DSLXMX_ENABLE -DSLTS_ENABLE -D_REENTRANT During make, I see: cc: Warning: multiple use of -K option, previous one discarded. Makefile.PL appends a -Kpic (from config) to these flags. I reconfigured and rebuilt perl with -K PIC. (If not, the more stringent -K PIC would be overridden by the later-occurring and less stringent -K pic.) Correcting to -K PIC still leaves the compile error. Problem #2 ========== The compile of Oracle.c fails with the following (inter alia): "/scratch/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.003/CORE/perl.h", line 1367: undefined or not a type: sigjmp_buf To fix the compile error, I manually removed -Xc from CCFLAGS (this also comes from env_prcomp.mk). I'll look at how to get Makefile.PL to do this now that I know the problem. Problem #3 =========== The next problem is libclntsh.so is not found at runtime. I don't know why LD_RUN_PATH is being ignored during the build--I tried both csh and sh. I'll try to figure out how to get -R $(LIBHOME) into the link command tomorrow. I have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get the tests to pass, or patch the link command with -R $(LIBHOME). Here's the requested log of the make (before removing -Xc) and perl -V (before rebuilding with -K PIC instead of -Kpic): fox@jade 46 % perl Makefile.PL Configuring DBD::Oracle ... >>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file!

any mailing list on the internet, you should expect that if you send mail to the -request address for that list, you will at least get mail back containing instructions on how to unsubscribe. 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 <13521-6@oink>; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 03:28:02 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 837050606:08647:3; Thu, 11 Jul 96 03:03:26 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa08321; 11 Jul 96 3:02 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id SAA11520 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 10 Jul 1996 18:56:34 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from fruitbat.mcqueen.com (pillshovel.mcqueen.com [194.72.106.246]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id SAA11516 for ; Wed, 10 Jul 1996 18:56:32 -0700 Received: (from descarte@localhost) by fruitbat.mcqueen.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id CAA29448; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 02:47:13 +0100 From: Alligator Descartes Message-Id: <199607110147.CAA29448@fruitbat.mcqueen.com> Subject: Re: Having problems getting DBD to work To: CGOODRIC@us.oracle.com (CGOODRIC) Date: Thu, 11 Jul 1996 02:47:13 +0100 (BST) Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com In-Reply-To: <199607110050.RAA26681@mailsun2.us.oracle.com> from "CGOODRIC" at Jul 10, 96 05:45:01 pm X-Pants: ** The return address of this email should be: descarte@hermetica.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1205 > I can get everything to compile but during the tests, the dynamic loader > complains that it can't find the object "osnptt".

Upgrade gcc. You can get the latest which is 2.7.2 from prep.ai.mit.edu, or your nearest GNU mirror. I'm going to make the sweeping comment that the gcc version *may* be the problem since osntab.o is in the link line.

Well how about my standard mantra about including *all* the information the README asks for? :-) Specifically, did the MakeMaker output say "Linker: /usr/ccs/bin/ld"? Other than that, Alligators comments about it not being a Solaris 2 version of Oracle (or at least the libraries) sound plausable.

Sorry, I didn't want to make the mail any more confusing than I already had. I'll include the new log to show that LD_RUN_PATH is being set in the link command. Duh...I just figured out the problem. We have a non-standard installation of GDBM, which requires perl to build with -R to be able to dynamically load GDBM, and gives the following link command: LD_RUN_PATH="/gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib:/lib" ld -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so -G -L/scratch/local/lib -R /scratch/local/lib Oracle.o dbdimp.o /gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib/__fstd.o -L/gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib -lclntsh -lsql -lsqlnet -lncr -lsqlnet -lclient -lcommon -lgeneric -lsqlnet -lncr -lsqlnet -lclient -lcommon -lgeneric -lepc -lnlsrtl3 -lc3v6 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 -lsocket -lnsl -lm -ldl -lm From the Solaris 2.5 AnswerBook for C: -Rdir[:dir] (Solaris 2.X) If both LD_RUN_PATH and the -R option are specified, the -R option takes precedence. Is there an overriding reason to favor LD_RUN_PATH for Solaris rather than adding a -R$(LIBHOME) to the ld command? =Jim Fox ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <17052-1@oink>; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 18:01:00 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 837091786:09624:3; Thu, 11 Jul 96 14:29:46 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa09494; 11 Jul 96 14:29 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id GAA12279 for dbi-users-real; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 06:25:19 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from gateway.novasoft.com (gateway.novasoft.com [208.195.229.2]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id GAA12275 for ; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 06:25:16 -0700 Received: (from binkley@localhost) by gateway.novasoft.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) id JAA03832; Thu, 11 Jul 1996 09:19:23 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 11 Jul 1996 09:19:23 -0400 (EDT) From: "B.

Oxley (binkley)" I'm writing a CGI::MiniSvr/Oraperl application for Oracle access from the web, but am hitting a rather nasty snag. I run out of open cursors in Oracle after a while of running my mini-server. This makes it seem like the classic case of a leak in my code (since cursors are automatically closed when they go out of scope), so I arranged to do this: All cursor access goes through wrapper routines that store/refer to the last-opened cursor as a private global in the mini-server, like this: OraFetch (...); is a wrapper for: ora_fetch ($server->PrivateOraCursor, ...); where "$server->PrivateOraCursor" is just an access method to the previously stored cursor from your call to ora_open. Fine, this seems to work quite ok, and relieves my other programmers from needing to keep track of things; they can just use the wrapper access methods my server's API provides. But... after running for a long while, I run out of open cursors. So--methought--a leak! Well, my mini-server does everything via an event loop, looking for new HTTP requests, so I arranged to do this: At the end of each handled HTTP request, I explicitly close the globally stored cursor, like this: while (some-test-goes-here) { # process request ... my $cursor = $server->PrivateOraCursor; ora_close ($cursor); } I thought this would do the trick for sure... but it doesn't. So I considered that maybe I really was running out of open cursors. We have the database tuned to provide 1000 cursors. This seems like plenty (*crosses fingers*). How can I get DBI/DBD to tell me about opening/using/closing cursors? Is there something else besides "$cursor->debug (2)", which might be quite enough, but I haven't tried it yet since I need to arrange for debug output to show up in my server's log files, and not elsewhere. Oh, I almost forgot: DBI 0.69; DBD 0.32; Perl 5.002_01. Any suggestions?

OK, this attached hacked script ( including Tim's hated DBI->install_driver() call. Hi Tim! 8-) ) *may* show up your problem. It didn't with me. I may have the semantics wrong, as per usual. Basically, this extracts the session ID of the session that's hopefully running this script ( this bit's serious crap ). It'll then recursively open and close a cursor that shows the open cursors for that session. In your case, it'd imply that number keeps increasing. On mine, as expected, it's always one. Anyway, try it and see. You'll need to change some obvious bits in the code for your setup. It's raw DBI. Oh, and if this inadvertantly destroys your database, I take no responsibilty, but can be contracted at UKP750/day to fix it. 8-) -----------------8<---------------------8<--------------------------- use DBI; $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' ); $dbh = $drh->connect( "YOURCDESC", "sys", "YOURPASSWORD" ); if ( !defined $dbh ) { die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr\n"; } $cursor1 = $dbh->prepare( " SELECT saddr FROM v\$session WHERE osuser = 'UNIXUSERNAME'" ); if ( !defined $cursor1 ) { die "cannot prepare cursor1: $DBI::errstr\n"; } $cursor1->execute; ( $saddr ) = $cursor1->fetchrow; $cursor1->finish; undef $cursor1; for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 100 ; $i++ ) { $cursor = $dbh->prepare( " SELECT saddr, user_name FROM v\$open_cursor WHERE saddr = '$saddr'" ); if ( !defined $cursor ) { die "cannot prepare cursor: $DBI::errstr\n"; } $cursor->execute; print "OpenCursors:\n"; while ( ( $saddr2, $username ) = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print "\t$saddr2\t$username\n"; } $cursor->finish; undef $cursor; } $dbh->disconnect; ----------------8<---------------------------8<------------------------- > --binkley > -- Alligator Descartes | "You fuckoffeh?"

I need to be able to access the Oracle7 database remotely from the web server box, and wanted to use perl to do it. I built DBI 0.69 with no problems, then built DBD::Oracle 0.32. To do the latter I mounted the ORACLE_HOME from the remote machine onto the web server, added an appropriate login with the proper oracle environment, and let her rip. All went well there too. However, when I attempt "make test", I am given error ORA 12203, ORACLE_HOME not set. As I said, I am using the proper environment, so ORACLE_HOME is definitely set correctly. Also, when I exported the remote filesystem I was sure to set the default uid as the oracle DBA login, which, of course, also has the proper ORACLE_HOME. The output from the "make test" follows this letter. For the sake of information, I am using DBI v. 0.69, perl 5.002, oracle 7.1.6, and DBD::Oracle 0.32. The remote database instance runs on an SGI Challenge S server running IRIX 5.3; the web server box is an SGI Indy running IRIX 5.3 also. perl (and the modules) run on the Indy, while Oracle runs on the Challenge S.

I think MakeMaker would have done 'the right thing' if there was no space between the -R and the path. Try it. It's a MakeMaker bug.

I had been storing a copy of the cursor as an instance variable in my server object, and apparently I'm leaking references to the server object. I'm a little annoyed that at this, but who can I blame but myself? Because of the extra references, DBI/DBD was too smart to actually close the cursor, I surmise. I'm now using a file-scope global to refer to the current open cursor, and--voila!--no leakage of references. And now the cursor is nicely closed when I explicitly close it. Many thanks to Mr. Descartes for the script/suggestion to examine v$open_cursors as the SYS account so that I could watch in real-time my cursory habits. :-) Without this, I could not verify the problem nor the fix.

Okay, how about this... re-implement your ODBC code as a DBD. Use the DBD::DB2 module as a guide (DB2's interface is very close to ODBC's). Once it's working as a DBD we can look at tighter integration into the DBI. Interested?

I've started the first few steps writing a perl extension for a lean mean inexpensive database called Solid (see www.solidtech.com), which uses ODBC as its native API. I think it's time to participate in the discussion about the future of the DBI. In the mean time, would you be willing to share your work? That would help me a great deal (the NT ODBC stuff doesn't seem to be written in XS, just raw C++, which makes it a bad starting point).

But "make test" after "make" output the following messages: ARGV;' t/*.t t/base..............install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load './blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: dynamic linker: /usr/bin/perl: relocation error: symbol not found: sys_nerr at /usr/local/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pmline 140. at blib/lib/DBD/Oracle.pm line 24 DBI::install_driver called at t/base.t line 16 FAILED tests 4-5 Failed 2/5 tests, 60.00% okay Test returned status 2 (wstat 512) Failed 1 test script, 0.00% okay. 2/5 subtests failed, 60.00% okay. *** Error code 2 (bu21) make: fatal error.

True enough, but it doesn't explain why he's getting the same error, *exactly*, as I am -- and I'm using proc.mk.

I don't think so... proc.mk is the makefile for precompilers, so Oracle will not deliver it with a workgroup distribution which does not contains precompilers...

Firstly, you're mixing the oraperl and DBI interfaces to Oracle. The 'ora_bind' is equivalent to the 'execute', so the 'ora_bind' call is actually inserting your data into the database. Second, if you use 'bind_param', you need to use it for all three bound values. You should be able to insert LONG values using 'execute' or 'ora_bind' without explicitly setting the type attribute. It's only RAW and LONG RAW values that require the use of 'bind_param', so something like: $sth = $lda->prepare ("INSERT INTO bulletins VALUES (:1, bulletin_seq.nextval, :2, SYSDATE, :3)") or die ...; $sth->execute($Q::head_code, $Q::title, $Q::content) | die ... ; should work. Alternatively, you can bind each of your values using 'bind_param' and call 'execute' with no parameters.

Anyone who knows the ODBC API can use this to access the iODBC Driver Manager from perl. Because it is so much like the C-iODBC API it isn't very perlesque. That is where the ODBC DBD could come in. Once the ODBC Extension Interface is working well, I could write the DBD. What do you think of this?

I am quite new to Informix and also to DBI/DBD, but I am giving it a try anyway... I am running Sun Solaris 2.5, perl 5.002, DBI 0.69, and Informix 7.1 (to the best of my knowledge). I downloaded DBD-Informix-0.20pl1 and was successful in creating a makefile and running the 'make install'. Where I am running into problem is in trying to run the test.pl script. Each time I run the script I get the following error: not ok: Database not found or no system permission. Database handle DBI::db=HASH(0xcd414) DESTROY ignored - never set up. Testing: $drh->connect( 'dbhost', $dbname, 'dbuser', 'dbpass' ): I attempted changing the test script to use valid host, db, user, and password information and still received the same error message. I attempted to chase down the error and found that the script died in the connect method in Informix.pm. Specifically when it calls 'DBD::Informix::db::_login(...)'. I do not know if this problem is a configuration related problem, or if I am missing something, or what... I would appreciate any help you can provide in resolving this problem. Thanks in advance.

Either that, or the database you've given in doesn't exist. The hostname, username and password arguments are dummy.

The way I have used it (successfully) is: $offset = 0; $chunksize = 10000; $buf = $cursor->blob_read(row[0], $offset, $chunksize); Note that I've had problems reading a LONG when it wasn't the first element of the returned row (i.e. row[0]). Note also that you never get back more than $chunksize, so if you're LONG is larger, you have to loop. I used: $buf = $sh->blob_read($row[0], $offset, $chunk); while (length($buf) == $chunk) { $offset += $chunk; $blob .= $buf; $buf = $sh->blob_read($row[0], $offset, $chunk); } $blob .= $buf; Ciao, AndyB ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <07311-59@oink>; Fri, 19 Jul 1996 07:40:57 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 837739614:17992:5; Fri, 19 Jul 96 02:26:54 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa17849; 19 Jul 96 2:26 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id SAA27905 for dbi-users-real; Thu, 18 Jul 1996 18:21:54 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from ws5.justintime.com (ws5.justintime.com [205.149.189.36]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id SAA27901 for ; Thu, 18 Jul 1996 18:21:52 -0700 Received: (from ml@localhost) by ws5.justintime.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA16078; Thu, 18 Jul 1996 18:23:03 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 18:23:03 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199607190123.SAA16078@ws5.justintime.com> To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Making DBD::Oracle, linking with __fstd.o Cc: ml@justintime.com From: ml@justintime.com I'm still having trouble making DBD::Oracle, transcript below.

Here's the snippet of code that works in Oracle but doesn't in Informix: $drh = DBI->install_driver( xxx ); $dbh = $drh->connect( ... ); $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select * from some_table" ); $cursor->execute(); @fieldnames = @{$cursor->{'NAME'}}; print "fields = @fieldnames\n"; If I run it in Oracle, the @{$cursor->{'NAME'}} returns an array of string representing the column names. If I run it in Informix and try to print the contents of the array, I get a segmentation fault core dump. Is the {'NAME'} attribute specific to Oracle? If it is, are there any plans to support it in Informix? Any insight would be very much appreciated...

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 <02606-3@oink>; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 12:18:46 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838118188:20803:1; Tue, 23 Jul 96 11:36:28 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa20524; 23 Jul 96 11:35 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id DAA06848 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 03:30:51 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from www.usrconsult.be (www.usrconsult.be [193.74.142.250]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id DAA06844 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 03:30:48 -0700 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by www.usrconsult.be (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA19414 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 12:30:43 +0200 (MDT) Received: from gate-usrco(193.74.142.129) by scorpion via smap (V1.3) id sma019412; Tue Jul 23 12:30:32 1996 Received: from usrco (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by usrco.usrconsult.be (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA20401 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 12:30:31 +0200 (MDT) Message-ID: <31F4A9C6.2F1C@usrconsult.be> Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 12:30:30 +0200 From: Christian LEMER Organization: USRConsult X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5aGold (X11; I; IRIX 5.3 IP22) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: DBI-Users mailing list Subject: Speed improvements by fetchall Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I'm using DBI and DBD:Oracle for some days now and all works fine, but I'm a little bit disappointed by the speed performance. #!/usr/bin/perl -wxs my $driver = DBI->install_driver('Oracle'); my $db; $db = $driver->connect( ... , ... , ...); my $select = $db->prepare("select the_column from the_table"); $select->execute; my $elem; my $n_elems; while($elem = $select->fetchrow){ print $elem."\n"; } $select->finish; $db->disconnect; takes 6'30'' on a table of ~ 15000 items, it means an order of magniture more than in a terminal based db interface.

[sample code and comments deleted...] You may find that most of the performance penalty is because of start-up and connection costs (ie loading the drivers and connecting to Oracle ) especially if you are doing this over a network. To find out if that is the case, change your script to just connect to the database, print something out and then exit. If it is almost as slow as it was when you were trying to do some work then the problem is start-up and connection costs.... One way we have found to deal with this problem with very good results is to turn your perl script into permanently running server process(es) which has all the drivers loaded and the connection with Oracle established. To speed things up even further you could also have all your perl application code already loaded which may include prepared cursors etc... Setting up servers is not exactly trivial but if speed is important it is a way to achieve much better results. Any other ideas?

While reading comp.infosystems.webauthoring.cgi I came across your database interface, and also somebody suggested using CGI.pm from http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/pub/software/WWW/ as the front end for HTML Forms. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions: (1) Do you see any problems with this combination. (2) On dowloading version 0.71 of your software the README suggested that the software is going to undergo a dramatic change and you are contemplating a connection using ODBC? So is it that the current software should not be used, and we might wait or look for some other solution? What is the confidence level of the Software? (3) I tried to use JDBC as a connection method, and got a JDBC driver from weblogic. I am a little bit confused as to the approach to take. Is Java/JDBC a superior method to the current CGI/Script methods? I can see that they have classes like Connection, ResultSet. There was a memory problem with the weblogic driver, and I am still debating which way is really better for short term. I would appreciate if you could give me some of your thoughts on item 3. Anyway thanks a lot for taking the time to put out the DBI software. regards, -Ven ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <16299-25@oink>; Thu, 25 Jul 1996 02:22:01 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838246996:29895:0; Wed, 24 Jul 96 23:23:16 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa29436; 24 Jul 96 23:22 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa02886; 24 Jul 96 23:20 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA10447 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 09:49:51 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from charon.agents-inc.com (charon.agents-inc.com [206.139.194.10]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA10443 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 09:49:49 -0700 Received: from big-man.agents-inc.com (big-man.agents-inc.com [206.139.194.100]) by charon.agents-inc.com (8.7.1/1.0mlbarrow@agents-inc.com) with ESMTP id MAA02290 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 12:47:04 -0400 Received: from [204.27.201.52] (astro.agents-inc.com [204.27.201.52]) by big-man.agents-inc.com (8.7.1/1.0mlbarrow@agents-inc.com) with ESMTP id MAA21546 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 12:44:43 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: phensley@agents-inc.com Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 12:49:45 -0400 To: dbi-users@fugue.com From: Pat Hensley Subject: support for blobs in DBD::Oracle I would like to use DBD::Oracle as a DB loading tool, however, I've encountered the same 2000 character limit on INSERT/UPDATE as some other users.

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 <21129-0@oink>; Thu, 25 Jul 1996 14:27:20 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838300225:22486:1; Thu, 25 Jul 96 14:10:25 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa21883; 25 Jul 96 14:09 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id FAA12746 for dbi-users-real; Thu, 25 Jul 1996 05:59:16 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from bbnplanet.com (poblano.near.net [198.114.157.116]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id FAA12742 for ; Thu, 25 Jul 1996 05:59:14 -0700 Received: from poblano.near.net by poblano.bbnplanet.com id aa24388; 25 Jul 96 8:57 EDT X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.7 5/3/96 To: Filip Bovyn cc: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Re: Trouble building DBD-Informix-0.20pl on AIX In-reply-to: Your message of Thu, 25 Jul 1996 11:24:44 +0200. <9607251006.AA33356@rs009> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 08:57:33 -0400 Message-ID: <24383.838299453@bbnplanet.com> From: Bill Nugent Howdy, I don't think you will be able to get this to work with Informix 4.

In-Reply-To: <31F7AA89.79BB@geocities.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi. Hopefully someone can help me out with a small question. I need to know the syntax to connect to a remote Oracle server from a webserver. Previously the webserver and the oracle database were always on the same machine, so the below statements would work, but now we are moving the database to another machine, so that the webserver and the database will be on seperate machines, and I am not clear on what the syntax to connect the two machines might be. I have tried all of the combinations that I thought would work to no avail, and this does not seemed to be covered in the faq.

I had the same problem with HP/UX 9.03 -- everything compiled and installed fine, and the tests appeared to run OK. But I got the same "can't fine loadable object" error that you did. I messed around with file locations and permissions for a while, but that wasn't it. What I did notice was a "warning, must compile static in HP/UX 9.x" message during the DBD::Oracle 'make test'.

I didn't get that error at all, but when I used the above routine to build a new version of perl with DBD::Oracle statically linked in, things began to work OK. Note -- I'm using and testing only Oraperl at the moment, haven't tried any of the fancy new stuff yet. I'm running an old version of Oracle, 7.0.16. The DBI itself seems to be OK as a dynamically-loading module.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated... Josh Oh joh@mmts.eds.com ---------------------------- Hi, Is it possible to obtain column names from a cursor object after having executed a select statement? Here's the snippet of code that works in Oracle but doesn't in Informix: $drh = DBI->install_driver( xxx ); $dbh = $drh->connect( ... ); $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select * from some_table" ); $cursor->execute(); @fieldnames = @{$cursor->{'NAME'}}; print "fields = @fieldnames\n"; If I run it in Oracle, the @{$cursor->{'NAME'}} returns an array of string representing the column names. If I run it in Informix and try to print the contents of the array, I get a segmentation fault core dump. Is the {'NAME'} attribute on the cursor specific to Oracle? If it is, are there any plans to support it in Informix? Any insight would be very much appreciated...

I know that Oracle has partly solved the problem with their WebServer 2.0 technology, by using PL/SQL, but the problem is that I hate PL/SQL, and comparing it to Perl is like comparing a potato with a Ferrari. At first, I thought that I could write some sort of socket-based server in Perl that would connect to the DB, and then sits there and wait for SQL queries from clients. However, socket-based communication is not very fast, and even slower when we include "handshaking" between the client and the server. Next, I thought about SysV-IPC, but I'm not too familiar with that stuff. Would it be a good idea? Is there anyone out there with some sort of solution that is faster than the simple connect/query/process/log-off cycle? ...David -- // d a v i d l e b e l http://www.socom.com/~lebel/ // analyst / system administrator / hacker socom technologies, inc. // " thoughts from above hit the people down below, people in this world, we // have no place to go.

I've got SQL*Net V2 and the tcp/ip adapter protocol up and running fine on the database and the listener is accepting remote connections from select outside sites properly. However, when I went to build DBI 0.71 and DBD 0.36 (the only two versions that I know of which support Oracle 7.3.x and its Pro*C libs), I was able to successfully build the DBI, but received a fatal error during the 'make test' of the DBD 0.36 build and the process does a core dump. Everything appeared to be fine up to this point (including the entire DBI build and the first two stages of the DBD build). Here's what it looks like: # make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -I./blib/arch -I./blib/lib -I/usrt t/base..............1..5 ok 1 ok 2 ok 3 ok 4 ok 5 ok All tests successful.

Stop. To me, the error looks like the result of the inability to connect to the database properly, as I sorted through the lines of code from the modules listed above. My question is this -- has anyone else had similar problems to the ones listed above or is anyone familiar with building DBI/DBD under AIX4.x for Oracle7.3? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, I have a problem with socket-based communications. It's not directly related to the socket themselves, but to the fact that to be performant, you need to fork the server to process each client in a timely and elegant manner. Now, this is not really a problem by itself, but when I connect to the DB at the start of my program, it doesn't seems to me that Oracle likes to be called from the same connection by multiple subprocesses. E.g. (in perl-pseudo-code): my $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' ); my $dbh = $drh->connect( 'socom', 'xxx', 'yyy' ); die unless $dbh; # ... create socket code ... while(!terminated) { while(accept()) { spawn session_handler; } } $dbh->disconnect; sub session_handler { # ... some session-related code ... my($sth) = $dbh->prepare($q); $sth->execute; my(@t) = @{$sth->{'NAME'}}; while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow ) { # ... fetching ... } $sth->finish; # ... end of session-related code ... } Now, this works the first time, however, the second time I get the following error: "ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure (DBD: oopen error)". Is this because the $dbh handle can't be shared across the childs?

So it's nothing to do with sockets. Anyway, don't fork, if the requests are _really_ going to take so long to process that you can't serialise them in one daemon then have a pool of daemons and forward the request to the first available one.

Note that the header files are in the 'demo' subdirectory of rdbms. That says a great deal about Oracle's approach to interfaces. I recently did the same thing (today, er, yesterday - it's been a very long day...) and hit the same problem. I copied just the header files over and DBD::Oracle built okay but would core dump looking up oracle messages. Since I'm in a big rush I didn't have time to look into it further so I just mounted the other system and built DBD::Oracle from that In related work I did fix a core dump that might have been the one I saw earlier... So, grab the recently released DBD::Oracle 0.37, copy the header files you need over from the rdbms/demo directory and give it a go. If it works let me know. If it doesn't then you'll have to install more of Oracle till it does.

I have a server that operates like modern web servers: it manages a pool of children which connect to a database, respond to a configurable number of queries, and then exit. The clients are almost exclusively CGI scripts and direct-connects from the HTTP server, and I find that response times are more than adequate. d. ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <18580-0@oink>; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 10:42:50 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838631245:14996:2; Mon, 29 Jul 96 10:07:25 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa14204; 29 Jul 96 10:05 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id CAA20524 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 02:02:56 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from goggins.uio.no (6089@goggins.uio.no [129.240.201.2]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id CAA20520 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 02:02:54 -0700 From: rune.froysa@usit.uio.no Received: from ulrik.uio.no by goggins.uio.no with local-SMTP (PP) id <23624-0@goggins.uio.no>; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 11:02:15 +0200 Received: by agnar.uio.no ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 11:02:14 +0200 Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 11:02:14 +0200 Message-Id: <199607290902.LAA03206@agnar.uio.no> To: Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk CC: dbi-users@fugue.com In-reply-to: <9607261235.AA29524@toad.ig.co.uk> (message from Tim Bunce on Fri, 26 Jul 1996 13:35:31 +0000) Subject: Re: Running DBD-Oracle compiled under SunOS on Solaris [Tim Bunce:] >> Oraperl test application $Revision: 1.21 $ >> Can't load '../DBI-0.71/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so' for module DBI: ld.so.1: ../perl/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: _sv_undef: referenced in ../DBI-0.71/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so at /local/www/tools/ub/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 140. >That looks like you've built it using Perl5.002 or earlier and you're >running it on Perl5.003.

I only have the traditional fork/serve/exit daemon in Perl. (I'll have to do a version of the server-pool daemon in Perl since many of my developers prefer Perl, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.) Be that as it may, I'll post what I *do* have: C routines for both fork/serve/exit and server-pool daemons, and a Perl library for fork/serve/exit-only. I use these routines on Solaris-2.4 (x86 and Sparc) and on SGI (irix-5.3). The server pool daemon relies on semaphores to keep track of the number of active servers, so the code won't be of much use on machines without SYSV-IPC. I got most of the ideas (and some of the code) for the basic daemon from _Unix_Network_Programming_ (W. Richard Stevens, ISBN 0-13-949876-1), but I did the server-pool-manager myself, based on guesses about how httpd works (I was too lazy to actually look at the Apache or NCSA code). For those of you who'd rather do it yourselves, it's pretty easy. There's only a few things you need to do to make a well-behaved daemon; most of the complexity is a result of trying to do the Right Thing on different systems. Here's the main things to do: * chdir( "/" ) -- you don't want to tie up any filesystems with your cwd. * ignore or catch signals * CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR CHILDREN! d. begin 664 daemon.tar.gz M'XL( -;M_#$ ^P]:W?;MI+]2OX*Q&D=R95DR<]MG.36L11'NXZ<(]EM>F][ M=2@2DKCF0^'#CK?-_O:=&0 42)'.._=N*YVFDH"9 3 YDVYM>U8W ^#[6^^ MW*O=WFL?'N[#>WNGLW.([^W.WAZ]R] M_P)CM#OM]L'!7L7^[^SOM'>R_3_8Q?[./D!^T_X"&S/;AH_R\_??FR>O7F6?A\>#L_Y3_!99@>=.

You need to do the same as when munging Oracle stuff from SCO on Linux. Get hold of idld from a SCO box, and you can link SCO libraries on Linux in a.out format. That's easy with gcc. > Nigel. -- Alligator Descartes | "You fuckoffeh?" "Eh?" "Coffee? You for coffee?" Anathematician | "Ohhh!

I've been reading the mail here, and the archives, and checking many cross-references and links and FAQs, but I haven't seen anything recent about Sybase and/or sybperl and Perl 5. Is there active work on the sybperl DBD? It seemed to be version 0.01 from many months ago. Is it realistic for me to try to use Perl 5 as a gateway to a Sybase database for writing production scripts? Any pointers on web access to Sybase would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've already built and installed DBI-0.71, and am trying to build DBD-Oracle-0.35 (I know there's a newer version). Specifics for build: Solaris 2.5 gcc 2.5.6 (old, I know) sqlnet + ProC from 7.3.2 Oracle CD perl 5.003 perl Makefile.PL builds the Makefile w/o errors...however, I'm unsure as to what opts to include for compilation w/gcc.

How do I say this to MakeMaker? ie. perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc LINKOPTS=-L$ORACLE_HOME/lib/__fstd.o ???? (I'm a relative newbie to some of the more advanced features of perl makefiles,etc.) That aside, gcc won't finish the build because I hit: In file included from Oracle.c:19: Oracle.h:30: oratypes.h: No such file or directory Oracle.h:32: ocidfn.h: No such file or directory Oracle.h:35: ociapr.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Oracle.o' Where do oratypes.h, ocidfn.h, and ociapr.h come from?

Specifically, I have found and downloaded the libraries themselves, but do not see documentation on the function calls and interface etc. Should I assume that I just use standard calls used in Oracle itself? This is also my first exposure to Oracle. I suppose what I was hoping for is a document describing how to go about accessing a database etc. The actual database that I am dealing with is quite simple so it shouldn't be too bad. So to some up everything: where is a good place to start? I do have "Programming Perl" and "CGI Programming" by O'Riley and have just recently picked up a book on Oracle but so far haven't seen much on what I am doing. thanks, Chris Conover ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <07892-5@oink>; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 15:05:15 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838820637:15406:3; Wed, 31 Jul 96 14:43:57 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa14235; 31 Jul 96 14:43 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id GAA26753 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 06:13:30 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from proxy.midamerican.com (firewall-user@[208.128.122.130]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id GAA26749 for ; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 06:13:29 -0700 From: sjhoutkooper@midamerican.com Received: by proxy.midamerican.com; id IAA22354; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 08:11:18 -0500 (CDT) Received: from mailgate.midamerican.com(10.48.0.12) by proxy.midamerican.com via smap (V3.1) id xma022349; Wed, 31 Jul 96 08:11:02 -0500 Received: by sic001.midamerican.com; Wed, 31 Jul 96 8:13:05 CDT Date: Wed, 31 Jul 96 8:11:41 CDT Message-ID: X-Priority: 3 (Normal) To: dbi-users Subject: unsubscribe SJHoutkooper@midamerican.com X-Incognito-SN: 1127 X-Incognito-Format: VERSION=2.01a ENCRYPTED=NO unsubscribe sjhoutkooper@midamerican.com /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Steve Houtkooper \ \ | | | / / SJHoutkooper@MidAmerican.com | | Woody@Pionet.net (.)

It is a straight forward, easy to understand toolkit. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with. 1 - I've successfully downloaded DBI v0.71 and DBD v0.36 and installed them. I also downloaded the API Specification for DBI. It seems as though the description of the DBI functions don't match what I see in examples I've found (e.g. the spec mentions db_connect() whereas in code I've seen and used object notation $drh->connect(). Is there an up-to-date specification? 2 - I've successfully loaded the Oracle driver, connected to the database, and issued a query. But, when perl hits the $dbh-disconnect statement it complains. The message I get is: Bad free() ignored at test.pl line 39. test.pl is my perl script. This script is to pull data from a simple database and display the results in an html page. I get the above message if I run the script from the command line. If I try and load the CGI script into my browser (Netscape Gold 3.0beta), I get a Server Error telling me to look at the error log. The log says: failure: for host my.ip.address trying to GET /cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl, cgi-parse-output reports: the CGI program /tssg/ns-http/cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl did not produce a valid header name without value: got line "bad free() ignored at /tssg/ns-http/cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl line 39.") The generated HTML looks fine, so I assume that when I get rid of this error all should work fine. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Below is a copy of my script. - Dave Price (rfsis.dprice@capital.ge.com) #!/usr/bin/perl -w use DBI; MAIN: { $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = '/data2/oracle/7.2'; $ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} = 'dev03'; $drh = DBI->install_driver('Oracle'); print "ERROR : install driver failed\n" unless $drh; $dbh = $drh->connect('dev03', 'dprice', 'meghan'); print "ERROR : Unable to connect to database.\n" unless $dbh; $cursor = $dbh->prepare("SELECT table_name FROM user_tables"); if (!defined($cursor)) { print "ERROR : Unable to prepare SQL statement.\n"; die; } $cursor->execute; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "\n"; print "Some title\n"; print "\n"; while ($field = $cursor->fetchrow) { print "Field: $field\n"; } print "No more found.\n"; print "\n"; $cursor->finish; $dbh->disconnect; } exit; OUTPUT....

Can someone explain what these Bad Free's > really mean? Has Oracle introduced a memory leak into 7.3.2? Not a leak. They (I think) are calling free with a bad value (probably a null). I've got purify installed now... but no time to use it. One day soon (ish). Since I'm using 7.3.2 now the Bad free's are starting to bug me so I'm more likely to try to do something about it. But it's quite possible, even probable, that it's an Oracle problem I can't do anything about. Note that Perl5.003_01 will include a patch of mine which will allow you to silence perl's malloc via an environment variable. If you want to you could apply the patch now: diff -c2 ./malloc.c.2 ./malloc.c *** ./malloc.c.2 Thu Mar 28 10:17:44 1996 --- ./malloc.c Thu Mar 28 10:29:39 1996 *************** *** 273,276 **** --- 273,283 ---- #else if (op->ov_magic != MAGIC) { + static bad_free_warn = -1; + if (bad_free_warn == -1) { + char *pbf = getenv("PERL_BADFREE"); + bad_free_warn = (pbf) ? atoi(pbf) : 1; + } + if (!bad_free_warn) + return; #ifdef RCHECK warn("%s free() ignored", Tim. ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <11042-6@oink>; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 22:45:38 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 838843720:16070:1; Wed, 31 Jul 96 21:08:40 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa15256; 31 Jul 96 21:07 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id KAA27479 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 10:16:14 -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 KAA27475 for ; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 10:16:12 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id aa26276; 31 Jul 96 17:16 GMT Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa11236; 31 Jul 96 18:11 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <09466-0@oink>; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 18:10:38 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA22288; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 18:10:24 +0000 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 18:10:24 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9607311710.AA22288@toad.ig.co.uk> To: groenvel@cse.psu.edu, cmice@mfg.mke.ab.com Subject: Re: Bad free's w/ DBD-Oracle-0.37 with 7.3.2.2 Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 1197 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: Christopher Ice > > At 11:10 AM -0400 7/31/96, John D Groenveld wrote: > >Umm, ok DBI-0.71/DBD-Oracle-0.37 builds out of the box with gcc2.7.2, > >perl5.003, Oracle 7.3.2.2.

Thanks in advance for any help you can >give me. >- Dave Price (rfsis.dprice@capital.ge.com) That sounds right to me. I'll bet that the message you see: Bad free() ignored at test.pl line 39. is actually going to STDERR (rather than STDOUT) since these two filestreams are not necessarily in synch with each other (or because your http server is set up to sniff out anything on STDERR) it is generating the result you see via the browser. Depending on what interactive shell you use you could redirect these output streams and verify my speculation. However, that is no reason that the call to the $dbh->disconnect; method should cause this trouble. I would look into that module to see what might be wrong (perhaps add some diagnostic print; statements). Also, I note that on CPAN the most recent version of DBI is DBI-0.71.tar.gz and you might want to upgrade to that if you have not already done so. I have CCed my response to you to the dbi-users@fugue.com list in the hope that anyone there might be able to assist you further with this problem.

So, both modules improve performance of dynamic/interactive web documents by taking advantage of the Apache API and provide an alternative to coding in C. Not to start a language war, but one advantage of mod_perl to me is simply being able to use the Perl scripting language. To someone else, one advantage of mod_php might be it's scripting language. It looks like php/fi does lots of great stuff, but as the name (personal homepage/form interpreter) implies, it provides a solution to a specific arena. The perl C modules simply provide a general framework for embedding the interpreter and providing a Perl interface to the Apache API. Perl modules and scripts using this interface can then provide more specific functionality. For example, you could write an Apache module in Perl that provides functionality similar to php/fi. I see you've cc'd the dbi list, how do I use dbi from php? Or any perl module for that matter? How do I write a module in the php scripting language? I think the answer to these questions is "you can't". This is fine, just pointing out some differences. So, unless there is a major difference performance wise, it's hard to say what the advantages are of one over the other (without starting a language war), it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com Dear Mr. Descartes, I am building an application based on the Web and on Oracle. I'd like to use Oraperl and Perl 5. I've been looking for a version of Oraperl which I can build and run with Perl 5. I suspect that there is no such version of Oraperl, that it's buildable only with Perl 4. However, I can't seem to find anything yet which specifically says that. The closest I've come to this information is with the Oraperl emulation through DBD::Oracle. Please let me know if this is the only option available. I am also sending this request to dbi-users@fugue.com in case the developers there also may know the answers and may respond sooner than you are able. I appreciate any response. I have yet to inspect the recent CPAN and other sources.

When I do a 'select Today from some_table', it only returns the first four characters of the date (i.e. '08/0') instead of all characters (i.e. '08/02/1996'). When I do a 'select coltype from syscolumns', it only returns the first two characters of the SMALLINT datatype value. While this woks out to be okay when the value is less that 100, it does not bode well for values greater than 99. Has anyone else run into the same problems? If yes, is there a fix for it? If not, is it some sort of configuration that I am missing or doing wrong? Any help in resolving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

I took off the '-ansiposix' flag on the 'cc' step and that seems to have resolved my compile time problems... One more thing... For those of you using ESQL 7.20 and higher, I ran into a linker error after I got past the compiler errors. Something about 'unable to resolve symbols'... As it turns out, Informix started supporting multiple languages with the new version of ESQL, and so you need to add the gls (global language support?) libary in your link step. When I added '-lgls' to the link step, I got another 'unable to resolve symbol' error. I had to add '-lgen' again after '-lgls' in order to get past all the linker errors... So in all, the libaries needed are '-lsql -lasf -lgen -los -lgls -lgen -lm'. That order seems to work for me in the SGI-IRIX 6.2 setup.

(conjecture) Performance-wise, once your Perl interpreter is up and running, Perl is quite a bit quicker than PHP. For simple SSI type stuff, doing it in mod_php as opposed to forking an external Perl program is much faster. However, with mod_perl available, this distinction gets muddied a bit. At this point you have to look at your needs. If you just want to send the odd SQL query to a database and have the results show up in your web page with a bit of conditional logic and some regular expressions, then mod_php is most likely sufficient. mod_perl does not provide significant performance gains. And, you have to look at the server resources involved. An Apache server with mod_perl and the DBI stuff dynamically loaded is going chew up quite a lot of memory. An Apache server with mod_php is significantly smaller. Where mod_perl will show significant performance gains is in scripts that loop through a large number of iterations. Perl has a nice internally compiled format which makes this extremely quick. PHP does not have this same bit of magic. However, if you do have such a heavy looping script, you still have to decide whether you want to compile mod_perl into your Apache, or if you will just run your script as an external CGI. Another difference is that mod_php is HTML-centric while mod_perl is Perl-centric. That is, when you write a page for mod_php, you write it in normal HTML and toss in a few PHP tags. When you write a page for mod_perl, you write it in Perl and toss in a few HTML tags. This distinction also highlights the different targets of the two packages. mod_php is good for simple scripting while mod_perl is probably more appropriate for larger scripting projects. The PHP language will never approach the complexity and completeness of Perl. After all, there is only one Larry Wall. -Rasmus ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <28412-23@oink>; Mon, 5 Aug 1996 07:44:37 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839111437:02677:3; Sat, 03 Aug 96 23:30:37 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa02431; 3 Aug 96 23:30 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id PAA29171 for dbi-users-real; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 15:25:15 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from eve.speakeasy.org (brett@eve.speakeasy.org [199.238.226.1]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id PAA29167 for ; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 15:25:14 -0700 Original-Received: (from brett@localhost) by eve.speakeasy.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id PAA06737 PP-warning: Illegal Received field on preceding line Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 15:24:56 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199608032224.PAA06737@eve.speakeasy.org> From: Brett McCormick To: apache-modules@zyzzyva.com Cc: Doug MacEachern , dbi-users@fugue.com, php-list@holli.com, modperl@listproc.itribe.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Performance/Feature comparision of PHP vs. mod_perl In-Reply-To: <199608031458.JAA03979@sierra.zyzzyva.com> References: <199608031458.JAA03979@sierra.zyzzyva.com> I would suspect that there is a substantial difference in speed.

As usual, Rasmus has cut right to the chase. I like php because I can dance in and out of the two domains - html & programming - at will, allowing me to integrate the application & the interface very tightly. This, of course, tends toward custom coding of everything, which is not good if you plan to use the same application for multiple customers. Also, since a number of my database maintenance & data upload pages have ended up in the 300+ line area, I should probably move some of this stuff into perl. But I may hit the database 5 or 6 times from a single page ('cause I can, natch!) to look up stuff. If I were using perl, this fine granularity would be difficult. Whichever I use, maintaining a good understanding of the entire site and standardizing variable names is necessary to avoid insanity. 'Cause the entire site IS the application. ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <20844-0@oink>; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 05:27:53 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839382594:25890:2; Wed, 07 Aug 96 02:49:54 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa25415; 7 Aug 96 2:48 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id SAA00481 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 18:31:49 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from gw.home.vix.com (gw.home.vix.com [192.5.5.1]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id SAA00475 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 18:31:41 -0700 Received: by gw.home.vix.com id MAA16012; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:59:23 -0700 (PDT) X-btw: vix.com is also gw.home.vix.com and vixie.sf.ca.us Received: from rmh (h96-179.ccnet.com [192.215.96.179]) by ccnet.ccnet.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA22949 for ; Tue, 6 Aug 1996 12:59:01 -0700 Message-ID: <3207A297.12CB@ccnet.com> Date: Tue, 06 Aug 1996 12:52:55 -0700 From: Rich Holoch Organization: Pathfinder Solutions X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01KIT (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Rounding in Perl5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit How can I round the results of my math in Perl to 2 decimal places?

The format of the data that we are receiving demands that we need to do approximately 18000 updates overnight. The current configuration we are using is Solaris 2.5 Oracle 7.3.2 Perl 5.003 DBI 7.1 DBD-Oracle 0.37 Prior to starting the update, I have a simple DBPerl script that performs over 50000 queries and 120000 inserts in 2.5 hours. The update script currently achieves 1000 updates per hour. The main reason for the poor performance of the update is the size of the table, > 260000 records and growing. In ProC it is possible to use Arrays to perform efficient batch updates of data to an Oracle database. Is there a similar feature in DBPerl, or does anyone know of any tricks to achieve a significantly greater performance. The problem is not related to indexing. Any ideas ??

There are so many variables, especially database configuration, hardware, sql statement design, number of indexes on tables, triggers, etc. The only thing within DBI itself that I have ever noticed really makes a difference is making sure you don't parse the same statement over and over. Parse once, bind repeatedly (same for OCI or ProC or anything, not really specific to DBI) I just clocked simple DBI inserts at a rate of 400/sec. Your 120,000/2.5 hours is 13/sec. Obviously something is different, but it's probably not DBI per se. In any case, there is no analog in DBI for ProC host arrays. But my first guess would be that is not what you need. (and you should hope it's not, since it doesn't exist). > reason for the poor performance of the update is the size of the > table, > 260000 records and growing. This is a (common) misundertanding. Oracle's insert rate is almost completely independent of size of table. I insert on multi-million rows tables at exactly the same rate as empty tables. > DBPerl, or does anyone know of any tricks to achieve a significantly > greater performance. I know many techniques. But they are Oracle techniques, not DBI techniques. However, I couldn't even being to offer suggestions without a better sense of what you are trying to do. You might want to check out the various oracle newsgroups too, as dbi-users is not the best place for Oracle performance discussions, if not related specifically to DBI. If you submit some sample DBI code, various people here could probably tell quickly whether you have something to be addressed in DBI or in Oracle.

Well, if my guess is right you are missing DBD-Informix to enable Perl5 interface with your I-ONLINE... i.e with the above setting you can write limited SQL statement embeded in your PERL5 scripts.

Would anyone care to put them in the FAQs ?. regards, Binh Thanh Nguyen CERFnet Inc. ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <29927-9@oink>; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 07:45:08 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839461164:07772:4; Thu, 08 Aug 96 00:39:24 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa07258; 8 Aug 96 0:38 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id MAA15792 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 12:28:25 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from nh.etak.com (fw.nh.etak.com [206.33.243.34]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id MAA15788 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 12:28:23 -0700 From: kketchum@sover.net Received: from sioux.nh.etak.com by nh.etak.com (8.7.2/Gateway-2.0) id PAA04217; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 15:26:50 -0400 (EDT) Received: from etna (etna [89.5.5.5]) by sioux.nh.etak.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA27812; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 15:19:13 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 7 Aug 1996 15:26:45 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: kketchum@sover.net Subject: Newbie Informix ?

I am sure many of you have done something like that or wanting to do something like that. I am using DBD-Oracle-0.35 and DBI-0.71 on Solaris 2.5 Before I proceed, many thanks to Tim Bunce, Alligator Descartes, and others at Hermatica for developing DBD/DBI. I want to pose some newbie questions to experienced users, at the same time share a couple of useful things which I got to work Here is something useful for other people also starting to do what I am trying (build a web-browser(Netscape 2.0 or >)/Oracle connection not using oraperl emulation) and of course not wanting to buy an Oracle or any other commercial solution Q: How can we execute queries and display results on a WebBrowser? Answer: Here is a "SELECT empno,ename,job,mgr,sal FROM emp" done from scott.emp; This is a very vanilla cgi script ============================================================ use DBI; #!/usr/local/bin/perl use DBI; $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = 'YOUR HOME'; # please substitute $ENV{'TWO_TASK'} = 'YOUR TWO TASK'; $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' ); $dbh = $drh->connect( '', 'scott', 'tiger' ); die unless $dbh; $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT empno,ename,job,mgr,sal FROM emp" ); $cursor->execute; &print_results($cursor); $cursor->finish; $dbh->disconnect; exit; sub print_results { local($cursor); ($cursor) = @_; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "\n"; print "Query Result\n"; print "

Select All Records in scott.emp

\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "\n"; for ($i=0; $i < $cursor->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} ; $i++) { print ""; } print "\n"; while ( @row = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print " \n"; foreach $cell (@row) { printf(""); } print "\n"; } print "
",$cursor->{'NAME'}[$i],"
$cell
\n"; print "
\n"; print " \n"; } Q : How do we make the cells editable on the browser? I have not indicated another cgi script which is going to update the records in the database, but here is a way in which you will have editable text fields. The print_results subroutine is now: sub print_results { local($cursor); ($cursor) = @_; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "\n"; print "Query Result\n"; print "

Select All Records in scott.emp

\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "\n"; for ($i=0; $i < $cursor->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} ; $i++) { print ""; } print "\n"; while ( @row = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print " \n"; foreach $cell (@row) { printf("\n"; } print "
",$cursor->{'NAME'}[$i],"
"); } print "
\n"; print "
\n"; print " \n"; } ==================================================================== Some comments and problems: (1) $cursor->{'NAME'}[$i] gives the name of the columns in the statement. If I look at DBI.pm, it talks about the following variables $sth->{NAME} (\@) $sth->{NULLABLE} (\@) $sth->{TYPE} (\@) $sth->{PRECISION} (\@) $sth->{SCALE} (\@) $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} ($) $sth->{NUM_OF_PARAMS} ($) out of these I could not get at least $sth->{PRECISION}, $sth->{SCALE} to work ^^^^^^^ DBI::st=HASH(0x15ebe0)->{SCALE}: unrecognised attribute at scott.pl line 29. ?? So here is something I would like to know: How can I know all methods and variables in DBI::st? especially since there is no other updated API. I don't know much of perl5 but have used perl4 before I did something like this use DBI; require "dumpvar.pl" &dumpvar('DBI'); Can't read $DBI::errstr, lost last handle at /ford/cc0224/u/vsriniv1/Perl-5/lib/perl5/dumpvar.pl line 272. @EXPORT = ( empty array ) $VERSION = 0.71 Can't read $DBI::err, lost last handle at /ford/cc0224/u/vsriniv1/Perl-5/lib/perl5/dumpvar.pl line 272. $_dbistate = 1419912 @EXPORT_OK = ( 0 'neat' 1 'neat_list' 2 'dump_results' ) Can't read $DBI::state, lost last handle at /ford/cc0224/u/vsriniv1/Perl-5/lib/perl5/dumpvar.pl line 272. ................................................? So can someone point out a way of knowing which ones of these exist? $sth->{NAME} (\@) $sth->{NULLABLE} (\@) $sth->{TYPE} (\@) $sth->{PRECISION} (\@) $sth->{SCALE} (\@) $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} ($) $sth->{NUM_OF_PARAMS} ($) BTW: If there is something obviously wrong why I could not access $sth->{SCALE} also please let me know? ===================================================================== The next couple of things may also be useful for new users ===== This will print all tables you have ================= $cursor = $dbh->prepare('select * from tab'); $cursor->execute; while ( @row = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print @row,"\n"; } $cursor->finish; ============= for creating and inserting values into a table ==== use DBI; $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = 'YOUR HOME'; $ENV{'TWO_TASK'} = 'YOUR TWO TASK'; $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' ); $dbh = $drh->connect( '', 'scott', 'tiger' ); die unless $dbh; $cursor = $dbh->do('create table person (name varchar2(20), id number(5))'); $cursor = $dbh->do('insert into person values (\'mary\',10)'); $cursor = $dbh->do('update person set id=20 where name=\'mary\''); $dbh->disconnect; exit; Question: How do we do error handling? $cursor does return undef for a statement like $cursor = $dbh->do('create table person (name varchar2(20), id number(5))'); if executed second time. After some stumbling I found that print $DBI::errstr had the following error string ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object (DBD: possibly parse error at character 14 of 52 in 'create table person (name varchar2(20), id number(5))') Question: Is there a nice way of doing error handling, or do we have to look at $DBI::errstr and parse it to get the oracle error? I can't get to print any of any of these ( from DBI.pm ) $dbh->{Error} normally use $db_error $dbh->{ErrorStr} normally use $db_errstr $dbh->{ROW_COUNT} normally use $db_rows mentioned in DBI.pm On executing the following code segment: $cursor = $dbh->do('create table person (name varchar2(20), id number(5))'); print $dbh->{Error}; print $dbh->{ErrorStr}; print $dbh->{ROW_COUNT}; I got Can't get DBI::db=HASH(0xf7838)->{Error}: unrecognised attribute at test.pl line 12. (comes back to the question of knowing which variables are accessible in the package) ============Question on prepare ==================================== I tried something like this: $cursor = $dbh->prepare('describe person'); $cursor->execute; while ( @row = $cursor->fetch) { print @row; } $cursor->finish; $dbh->disconnect; but got this error ============== Can't call method "execute" without a package or object reference at w4.pl line 13.??? How would somebody get results for a describe person oracle sql statement? ========================================================================== I tried something like this $cursor = $dbh->tables(); while ( @row = $cursor->fetchrow ) { print @row,"\n"; } This seemed to give all the tables in the system SYSTEMMENU_B_INFOTABLE SYSTEMMENU_B_OBJ_TEXTTABLE SYSTEMMENU_B_OPTIONTABLE ................................................................... $cursor = $dbh->tables('user_name'); does not work? I felt that this would be useful in giving tables owned by a user? Question: What is the difference between $cursor->fetchrow and $cursor->fetch? =========================================================================== Well I could go on and on with other questions, but can somebody answer these? I hope answers to some of these problems would be of general interest to newcomers. regards, Ven Srinivasan ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <29832-41@oink>; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 07:47:27 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839464371:08058:6; Thu, 08 Aug 96 01:32:51 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa07935; 8 Aug 96 1:32 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id NAA16663 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:26:51 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from paradigm.webvision.com (paradigm.webvision.com [204.33.249.66]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id NAA16659 for ; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:26:50 -0700 Received: by paradigm.webvision.com (940816.SGI.8.6.9/940406.SGI) id NAA04339; Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:26:48 -0700 Date: Wed, 7 Aug 1996 13:26:48 -0700 Message-Id: <199608072026.NAA04339@paradigm.webvision.com> From: dave madden To: dbi-users@fugue.com CC: dmoellen@clarify.com Subject: Re: Rounding in Perl5 =>From: Dave Moellenhoff =>... =>Or an even more tasteful solution: => =>$rounded = int($unrounded*100 + 0.5)/100 => =>Not that this was really a PerlDB question in the first place...

If any of you have similar configurations and have either experienced these problems or avoided them, I would appreciate any advice. The current configuration we are using or planning to use is Solaris 2.5 Oracle 7.3.2 Perl 5.003 Built, but uncertain about its soundness. DBI 0.71 Not yet built. DBD::Oracle 0.37 Not yet built. Question 1: Is it necessary to use Perl 5.003 to build DBI 0.71 and / or DBD::Oracle 0.37? If not, I may be able to avoid any additional problems in trying to build Perl 5.003. (See Question 2) I have Perl 5.002, but built at another site. Question 2: To build Perl 5.003, I am using the Cygnus gcc compiler, rev 2.3.3. The problems that I've had compiling Perl have been overcome (maybe) by taking the following steps. Using the advice in README.solaris2 written by Kevin Kunzelman (kkunzelm@match.com). Specifically, to enhance the hints file for solaris_2 to include d_odbm='undef' i_fcntl='define' d_vform='undef' nativegcc='undef' libs='-lsocket -lnsl -lm' Setting the gcc compiler flags to -fpcc-struct-return -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__ -fno-builtin And finally, to avoid a problem compiling POSIX support, I set useposix=false in the hints/solaris_2.sh modified file. The make ran to completion, however it reported problems in running AutoLoader.pm. The statement eval { require auto/dynaloader/autosplit.ix; } resulted in a false evaluation, however, the autosplit.ix file is present at that location. Is this a problem? The make test ran to completion, with no reported errors. The make install also ran to completion, problems seem to have been reported, but I haven't studied them yet. I suspect that these problems are caused by my using the relatively old C compiler? Any opinions? I'm still kinda new at this. I realize that the quality of the advice I might get from this community depends on the quality and quantity of information that I provide. The Solaris system where I'm building these tools and the PC where I have my Internet access are 80 miles apart, and it's logistically difficult for me to transfer files from the Solaris to my PC. I appreciate any advice you may provide. Thank you all very much! 8-) Lou Henefeld ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <09718-0@oink>; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 07:40:52 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839545825:01731:2; Fri, 09 Aug 96 00:10:25 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa01452; 9 Aug 96 0:09 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa03064; 9 Aug 96 0:08 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id NAA07631 for dbi-users-real; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 13:05:26 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from paradigm.webvision.com (paradigm.webvision.com [204.33.249.66]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id NAA07627 for ; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 13:05:25 -0700 Received: by paradigm.webvision.com (940816.SGI.8.6.9/940406.SGI) id NAA12415; Thu, 8 Aug 1996 13:05:18 -0700 Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 13:05:18 -0700 Message-Id: <199608082005.NAA12415@paradigm.webvision.com> From: dave madden To: dlincke@bandon.unisg.ch CC: dbi-users@fugue.com In-reply-to: <199608081925.AA138052303@bandon.unisg.ch> (message from David-Michael Lincke on Thu, 8 Aug 1996 21:25:03 +0200) Subject: daemon.tar.gz I've heard from a couple of people that the sample network daemon code I posted didn't uudecode properly, so I've made it available for ftp from Again, this contains a Perl library that provides routines for implementing a traditional accept/fork/serve/exit daemon, and C functions for both traditional and server-pool daemons.

Date: Fri, 09 Aug 1996 01:27:57 -0500 From: Scott Lystig Fritchie Greetings -- Poking through source code with eyes that should've been in bed a couple of hours ago (gosh darn it, havin' too much fun), I think I can answer my own question, but here is is anyway. The document http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/doc/dbispec/3.html mentions a method called "titles": @ary | $rv = &db'titles($sh); $sh -- a statement handle @ary | $rv -- returns array of column names or number of columns In an array context &db'titles returns an array of column names. In a scalar context it returns the number of columns. Returns () or 0 if $sh is not a select statement. If the engine does not provide column names then the module will return ('col1','col2','col3') etc. It doesn't seem to exist. Am I overlooking something? A related question: Has anyone wished that "fetchrow" would return something more intelligent/friendly/object-oriented than a simple array? (Disclaimer: I'm not a big DBI user, but I probably will be soon.) I've wondered if something like this wouldn't be really useful: $cursor = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM tablea, tableb WHERE x > y"); while ($r = $cursor->fetchrowandincludecolumnnames) { printf "(x, y) = (%d, %d)\n", $r->x, $r->y; } ... rather than relying on knowing that x's column will be at offset 3 in the array "fetchrow" returns. Is there such a way to kludge something like that together? (I'm experimenting with DBI 0.71 and DBD for Informix 0.20pl1.) How likely is it I've just volunteered to delve into PerlGuts to implement something like this? :-) -Scott --- Scott Lystig Fritchie, Network Engineer MRNet Internet Services, Inc. fritchie@mr.net, PGP key #152B8725 Minnesota Regional Network v: 612/362.5820, p: 612/637.9547 2829 University Ave SE http://www.mr.net/~fritchie/ Minneapolis, MN 55414 ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <13156-2@oink>; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 10:08:46 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839575395:27644:1; Fri, 09 Aug 96 08:23:15 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa27234; 9 Aug 96 8:22 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id AAA17092 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 00:15:50 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from auspex-gw2.auspex.com (auspex-gw.auspex.com [144.48.1.1]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id AAA17088 for ; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 00:15:49 -0700 Received: from auspex.auspex.com ([144.48.8.10]) by auspex-gw2.auspex.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA16561; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 00:15:40 -0700 Received: from nova.auspex.fr by auspex.auspex.com (8.7.2/) id AAA07017; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 00:15:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from kstock@localhost) by nova.auspex.fr (8.6.9/8.6.9) id JAA07001; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 09:15:45 +0200 Date: Fri, 9 Aug 1996 09:15:45 +0200 Message-Id: <199608090715.JAA07001@nova.auspex.fr> To: dbi-users@fugue.com, mabdulr@bit.csc.lsu.edu From: KStock@auspex.com (Kevin Stock) Organisation: Auspex Systems European Technical Support Centre Phone: +33 1 46 29 99 37 Reply-To: KStock@auspex.com > Hi, I am getting an error while running make test phase of building oraperl. > I am attaching the logfile showing the error. i will appreciate if someone can > tell me the cause of the problem.

It would be nice if you can give me answers for some of the problems listed below. I have not gotten any response from others. I feel these are perfectly legitimate questions, and would help users in general. Please indicate if you are very busy and cannot answer. but in either case let me know. $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT some columns from atable" ); $cursor->execute; (1) $cursor->{'NAME'}[$i] gives the name of the ith column statement. How do I get the width of the ith column? Which of the following things in DBI.pm work, and is there a work around for getting these values $sth->{NAME} (\@) $sth->{NULLABLE} (\@) $sth->{TYPE} (\@) $sth->{PRECISION} (\@) $sth->{SCALE} (\@) $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} ($) $sth->{NUM_OF_PARAMS} ($) (2) How can I know all methods and variables in DBI::st? especially since there is no other updated API, and Database Interaction Functions at Hermetica are quite out of sync. A perl hack is fine, I indicated how I was using debug.pl which did not work? (3) Question: How can we get error messages returned by oracle? Is $DBI::errstr the only way? Which of the following in DBI.pm work and what is the work around? $dbh->{Error} normally use $db_error $dbh->{ErrorStr} normally use $db_errstr $dbh->{ROW_COUNT} normally use $db_rows (4) How would I execute something like this $cursor = $dbh->prepare('describe person'); $cursor->execute; while ( @row = $cursor->fetch) { print @row; } $cursor->finish; $dbh->disconnect; Since describe is not a select kind of statement, I am getting an error? (5) $cursor = $dbh->tables('user_name'); does not work? Is there any intended purpose of $dbh->tables();? (6) What is the difference between $cursor->fetchrow and $cursor->fetch? (7) Once I execute a do->('satement'); Is there a way of looking at results (like 20 rows updated in the database?) I don't know what other folks think, but most of the mail in dbi-users@fugue.com is instalation related like "cannot get this version to compile on this configuration". Can we have a different mailing list like dbi-installation@fugue.com for all kinds of installation problems, and have only usage queries on dbi-users@fugue.com? regards, Ven Srinivasan ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <14362-0@oink>; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 18:16:30 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839610588:13791:2; Fri, 09 Aug 96 18:09:48 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa13365; 9 Aug 96 18:09 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id KAA25413 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 10:04:43 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from bit.csc.lsu.edu (bit.csc.lsu.edu [130.39.130.15]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id KAA25409 for ; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 10:04:39 -0700 Received: by bit.csc.lsu.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA16804; Fri, 9 Aug 1996 12:05:49 -0500 Date: Fri, 9 Aug 1996 12:05:49 -0500 From: mabdulr@bit.csc.lsu.edu (Murad Abdulrehman) Message-Id: <9608091705.AA16804@bit.csc.lsu.edu> To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: DBD installation.

Unless I read the attributions incorrectly, Mark Dedlow replied to Mike Linksvayer's question about speeding up DB access from a CGI script by reposting an announcement I made for some network daemon reference code. To forestall questions ("What does one have to do with the other?") let me clarify: A while ago, somebody asked more-or-less the same question, which boils down to "what do I do about Oracle logins taking so long?" I (and others, as I recall) answered that you have to keep a live DB connection going from a program whose job is to serve requests (from, in this case, CGI scripts). The advantage is speed: it's much faster than having the script log into the database, process the request, log out, and terminate. Unfortunately, you have to do user authentication yourself. Mike's idea: =>> ...writing a daemon to keep a user's =>> oracle session open... is interesting, but I suspect difficult to implement because HTTP makes it hard to know whom you're talking to, whether you've talked to him before, and whether you can expect to talk to him again. (Getting even further off topic, I've got a pretty good kludge for making this easier; see the docs in for details.) Anyway, if you can modify your cgi script to use a "generic" database connection (perhaps by passing the user ID in with each request?) then you'll win by writing a daemon server. Our application, incidentally, mostly requires SELECTs from the DB, so the server I wrote simply opens the DB and waits for client connections on a socket. The client sends an SQL statement, and the server executes it and returns any results as text strings. Security is provided by the fact that the DB user as which the server logs in has no UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE priveleges. Yes, we're open to a denial- of-service attack (somebody could swamp the server with "SELECT * FROM SOME_BIG_TABLE" requests), but OTOH the port that the server operates on is filtered by our routers, and we trust our internal users. d. ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <23241-23@oink>; Mon, 12 Aug 1996 07:44:03 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839697349:09938:3; Sat, 10 Aug 96 18:15:49 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa09642; 10 Aug 96 18:15 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA14941 for dbi-users-real; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 09:57:47 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from zu.zdk.com (ron@zu.zdk.com [199.183.114.2]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA14937 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 09:57:45 -0700 Received: (from ron@localhost) by zu.zdk.com (8.6.9/8.6.9) id MAA06911 for dbi-users@fugue.com; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 12:57:39 -0400 From: Ron Schmidt Message-Id: <199608101657.MAA06911@zu.zdk.com> Subject: unsubscribe To: dbi-users@fugue.com Date: Sat, 10 Aug 1996 12:57:37 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 12 unsubscribe ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <23154-58@oink>; Mon, 12 Aug 1996 07:44:57 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839745605:03277:2; Sun, 11 Aug 96 07:40:05 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa03034; 11 Aug 96 7:39 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id XAA00150 for dbi-users-real; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 23:18:55 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from mail1.best.com (mail1.best.com [206.86.8.14]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id XAA00146 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 23:18:53 -0700 Received: from constitution.hotmail.com (constitution.hotmail.com [206.86.127.195]) by mail1.best.com (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id TAA20779 for ; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 19:07:10 -0700 Received: from constitution.hotmail.com by constitution.hotmail.com id <504415(2)>; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 15:54:22 -0700 Received: from 206.86.127.204 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Sat, 10 Aug 1996 15:54:20 PDT From: Holly Troy To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Placement of DBI code in Perl Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <96Aug10.155422pdt.504415(2)@constitution.hotmail.com> Date: Sat, 10 Aug 1996 15:54:20 -0700 Are there any placement issues when using DBI in a Perl script?

Well, why not write some more new stuff? The main documentors are myself and Tim, and as you've probably noticed, we quite regularly make two-word replied to questions, not because we're particularly obnoxious, but mainly because we don't have large quantities of time to spare to write all that sort of stuff. There are haven't been any volunteers to document this stuff, if memory serves, nor have their been many people wishing to volunteer code examples.

Yes, and a lot of installation problems are caused by not consulting the README files packages with the drivers, or the extra documentation at Hermetica. In fairness, there are weird problems on certain setups, but I'd estimate the majority are caused by not following explicit instructions. > Ven Srinivasan -- Alligator Descartes | "You fuckoffeh?"

Palmer" Subject: Re: DBI:ORACLE DBD for NT I use Oracle on NT for Intranets. Here is my $0.02 worth: Perl 5 for NT is still a little rough around the edges. Perl 5.001 build 107 and 109 have memory leak problems and it seems that garbage collection in these versions of perl can eventually thrash so much that the programs actaully stop doing real work. Admittly this is for large datasets and programs that run for long periods of time (relative to cgi). Short cgi programs are okay but I don't trust Perl 5 (for NT) yet for production work. Today, I'm actaully rewritting some statistical analysis programs from 5 to 4 to improve performance and reliability. As to DBD - I don't think its ready for Perl 5 on NT Oracle or otherwise. Anyone know something different? There is a Perl5 NT ODBC interface that I have tested a little and on the surface it seems good (except for core perl 5 problems). It was written by Dave Roth. Thanks Dave, Good Work. If you use perl 4 you can access Oracle using oraperl. Lets see, urls for this stuff, <... looking around ...> perl5 for NT http://www.perl.hip.com/ NT ODBC ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-authors/Dave_Roth/ oraperl for NT perl 4.036 ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/Oracle/OS/MS/NT/ntoraperl.zip I'd stay with oraperl (perl 4.036) until perl 5 is at 5.003.

Something does eat blanks in SQL statements. Around version 0.29 I reported a problem, twice and together with a test program, with deletes by names of constant width (CHAR type field in Oracle 7, not VARCHAR2). It looked like trailing blanks, used to fill strings into a required form, were vanishing somewhere. I do not know what happened to my report as I never got a word that somebody seen it and/or confirmed on another platform. I tried a bit to look for a real cause, but I gave up; would have to learn a lot about guts of everything before things will start to make sense. In that aspect an old 'oraperl' was much easier to deal with. :-) This is not a show-stopper for me and left it alone. > Can you confirm that that actual script behaves diferently when run against > the same database using perl4 oraperl? Yep, the same test case runs correctly with an old 'oraperl' and fails flat with 'Oraperl'.

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 <09545-0@oink>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 02:06:42 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839976469:12542:5; Tue, 13 Aug 96 23:47:49 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa10285; 13 Aug 96 23:44 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id MAA20194 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 12:02:50 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from mail-e2b-service.gnn.com (mail-e2b-service.gnn.com [204.148.102.170]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id MAA20190 for ; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 12:02:48 -0700 Received: from 69-51.client.gnn.com.

(My thanks to Tim Bunce and Alligator Descartes for their prompt advice. It immediatly solved my prior problems building these tools. Their advice to me was to get and use the gcc compiler, version 2.7.2. That worked! 8-) My configuration is that I'm running the Netscape Commerce Server and Sun's firewall software on a Sun Netra, and a Sun Ultra 1 which hosts the Oracle instance containing my database. When I run my CGI script on the Netra, the Perl program invoked hangs at the first &ora_login call. This is a hard hang: CNTL-C does not affect the program. To kill the program I have to send a kill -9 signal to it. When I run the same program on the Ultra, the program works. Prior versions of the program, invoking SQLPlus, worked correctly. Therefore, SQL*Net is correctly working between the two systems, and communications on the designated port are happening through the firewall. I suspect that I am missing one or more libraries: shared, link, or include, which DBD, DBI, or Perl need to run this program. This is probably because the Netra is configured lean, and is not intended as a development environment system (eg it doesn't have make). However, it might also be caused by a lack of Oracle libraries on the Netra system which are needed by DBD::Oracle. My two avenues to solve this problem are: 1) To copy the necessary libraries over to the Netra; 2) To rebuild Perl, DBI, and DBD so as not to require dynamic linking. If any of you have any insights into this problem, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks a lot!

This rings a bell. The 'problem' is that DBD::Oracle binds placeholders with an oracle type of 1 (VARCHAR2) whereas oraperl-2.4 used 5 (STRING). I think the change was made primarily so binary data (with nulls) could be bound to placeholders. Reading the manual (OCI, Chapter 3) I see that the VARCHAR2 type strips trailing spaces on input if a length is specified. If a length is not specified then Oracle looks for a null char and doesn't strip spaces. Sigh. > I do not know what happened to my report as I never got a word that > somebody seen it and/or confirmed on another platform.

I seem to recall someone, maybe me, pointing out that you can do $oraperl_type = { ora_type => 5 }; $sth->bind_param(1, $value, $oraperl_type); to get the old behaviour. I don't know why Davide Migliavacca's patch (which I've not tested - no time) might work. It would appear that obndra() does not do the trailing space stripping normally applied to VARCHAR2 if a length is specified. The OCI manual defines the VARCHAR2 space stripping behaviour for obndrn() and obndrv() but not obndra(). I would be very grateful if someone at Oracle could comment on this since I'd rather not commit to using poorly defined behaviour. Perhaps someone with a more recent OCI manual (mine's 7.0!) could check it for more detailed docs. Michal, please try Davide's patch and let me know if it works for you. Tim. p.s. Thanks for the patch Davide. ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <09743-23@oink>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 02:16:59 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 839984465:05157:5; Wed, 14 Aug 96 02:01:05 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa04255; 14 Aug 96 1:58 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id PAA23793 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 15:27:37 -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 PAA23781 for ; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 15:27:32 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id ae10130; 13 Aug 96 22:27 GMT Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa20507; 13 Aug 96 23:23 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <08281-0@oink>; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 23:02:02 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA16568; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 23:01:49 +0000 Date: Tue, 13 Aug 1996 23:01:49 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9608132201.AA16568@toad.ig.co.uk> To: thayer@metrobeatdb, sjm@alexpress.fi Subject: Re: solaris 2.5 Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 1295 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sami_J=2E_M=E4kinen?= > > On Tue, 13 Aug 1996, Charles Thayer wrote: > > Hello, I'm not a regular reader of this list. > > I sent some mail here a month or two ago and found that many > > folks were having trouble with DBD::Oracle under solaris 2.5 with > > the latest versions of Oracle.

After developing an understanding of how this all really works, I hope to submit a number of code samples to the mailing list for other new users. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <12653-0@oink>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 07:35:52 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840001283:22041:5; Wed, 14 Aug 96 06:41:23 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa20961; 14 Aug 96 6:38 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id WAA04728 for dbi-users-real; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 22:32:22 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from astor.mediabridge.com ([208.192.224.65]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id WAA04723 for ; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 22:32:11 -0700 Received: from mediabridge.com (thayer@localhost) by astor.mediabridge.com (8.7.3/8.6.9/sed) with ESMTP id BAA06192; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 01:31:46 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199608140531.BAA06192@astor.mediabridge.com> To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sami_J=2E_M=E4kinen?= Cc: Charles Thayer , dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Re: solaris 2.5 In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 13 Aug 1996 20:21:32 +0300."

The Oracle libraries don't allow a zero-length string to be bound using obnd*(), so Oraperl's &ora_bind() code explicitly replaces a zero-length string with a string containing a single space. Maybe this is relevant here.

The stripping behavior is not explicitly described for obndra(). Hopefully someone from Oracle can speak to what it is supposed to do.

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. NOTE: I may not be able to help you much without a stack trace! It is worth fetching and building the GNU GDB debugger (4.15) if you don't have a good debugger on your system. If desparate try: make perl; ./perl script; echo '$c' | adb ./perl core Do that.

I really need to get off the crack, but I think I was commenting on the test.pl output, hence Read The Freakin Ouptut. test.pl tells you a lot of valuable stuff including which variables need to be set to make connection with the database.

I've played with it using miniSQL and MqlPerl. You can't share a single connection among multiple processes (because of the concurrency problem you note above), but you can keep a connection open for the lifetime of a single server process (which, in Apache, serves multiple requests). Something like sub handler { if (! $dbh) { $dbh = DBI->connect(blah, blah, blah); } # now use $dbh } in your handler routine works well. You have to check each time since there's no way to tell if you are in a new server process or an old one. __________ J.A.K.E. void star http://www.vivid.com/vividians/bios/jake.html ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <17381-2@oink>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 23:08:10 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840043090:05406:1; Wed, 14 Aug 96 18:18:10 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa05330; 14 Aug 96 18:17 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa12165; 14 Aug 96 18:16 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id KAA15124 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 10:12:39 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from mail-1.mail.demon.net (mail-1.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.211]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id KAA15119 for ; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 10:12:35 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by mail-1.mail.demon.net id ae12982; 14 Aug 96 18:12 BST Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa05711; 14 Aug 96 18:10 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <16385-0@oink>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 18:10:14 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA21665; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 18:10:02 +0000 Date: Wed, 14 Aug 1996 18:10:02 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9608141710.AA21665@toad.ig.co.uk> To: thayer@mediabridge.com Subject: Re: solaris 2.5 Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 163 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: Charles Thayer > > gdb doesn't recognize my core file as a core file You probably need to upgrade your gdb (to >= 4.15).

I'll try, though my luck seems to be bad this morning. gdb doesn't recognize my core file as a core file and adb actually dumped core on me. I did discover though that forgetting to &ora_close() before &ora_logoff() also generates a core dump. I'll try Devel::CoreStack next.

Indeed, in production programs, there should be many(!) such status checks. Hint 2: In learning interfaces (as ro03868 seems to be), that's where I'll often use the old printf debugging method, if you modify your script apporiately, it should tell you where the script is not behaving as you expected. $sql = "SELECT * FROM V$DATABASE"; print "About to prepare SQL: <$sql>\n" if ($opt_d); >$cursor = $dbh->prepare( $sql ); print "Got(?) cursor: <$cursor>\n" if ($opt_d); >$cursor->execute; >while ( $field = $cursor->fetchrow ) { > print "Field: $field\n"; >} >$cursor->finish; >p.s.

Did you do the 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1'? >However, I am able to execute the following SQLPLUS statement on my >shell prompt, >maui> sqlplus abhati/amit@oradev >and it connects successfully to my database. >Why does &ora_connect fail? Make sure the SQLNet alias can be resolved from the TNS_ADMIN file (if your tnsnames.ora is in Oracle's expected location, you won't need to set that env var). Since you can use sqlplus, I would assume it's set correctly but so much of what oracle does seems to be in shadows. These are what I always use to test basic connectivity when I have trouble with DBD-Oracle's 'make test': ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl BEGIN { $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = '/opt/oracle'; $ENV{'TNS_ADMIN'} = '/opt/oracle/network/admin/tnsnames.ora'; $ENV{'TWO_TASK'} = 'test'; } use DBI; # Tim, this was your recommended call method for a while, right? with the # future being ODBC, I assume that's why you began re-emphasizing Oraperl # emulation mode for the time until ODBC is finished(started:)? # DBD-Oracle DBD-Msql $dbh = DBI->connect('', # Database host, '' for localhost 'scott', # User database 'tiger', # Password not used 'Oracle', # Driver '', # Optional Attributes ); warn "1: Could not open database" unless $dbh; $dbh->disconnect; # DBD-Oracle DBD-Msql $dbh = DBI->connect('test', # Database host, '' for localhost 'scott', # User database 'tiger', # Password not used 'Oracle', # Driver '', # Attributes (optional) ); warn "2: Could not open database" unless $dbh; $dbh->disconnect; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- or ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl BEGIN { $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = '/opt/oracle'; $ENV{'TNS_ADMIN'} = '/opt/oracle/network/admin/tnsnames.ora'; $ENV{'TWO_TASK'} = 'oraprd1'; } use Oraperl; $lda = &ora_login( '', 'scott', 'tiger' ); warn "1: Could not open database" unless $lda; &ora_logoff($lda); $lda = &ora_login( 'oraprd1', 'scott', 'tiger' ); warn "2: Could not open database" unless $lda; &ora_logoff($lda); ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having installed Term::Readline, etc, I also find it easy to just do a 'perl -de 0', and begin typing in trials (some output removed): % perl -de 0 DB<1> use Oraperl; DB<2> $lda = &ora_login( '', 'scott', 'lion' ); print $lda DB<3> $lda = &ora_login( '', 'scott', 'tiger' ); print $lda DBI::db=HASH(0x393940) DB<4> &ora_logoff($lda) DB<5> % On the (similar) topic of oracle environment vars/etc, here is a message I saved from a while ago, does anyone know of cases wher ethe following is not true?: # To: dbi-users@fugue.com From: Terry Greenlaw Subject: Re: DBD::Oracle failed on make test -- ora_login fail [sql*net info deleted] >Finally, on a client, there is an env variable to sort of serve the >function of ORACLE_SID for remote connections.

TWO_TASK = P:sid will use the pipe driver for local connections SQL*Net 1.x TWO_TASK = T:machine:sid will use TCP/IP (or D for DECNET, etc.) for remote SQL*Net 1.x conn. TWO_TASK = dbname will use the info stored in the SQL*Net 2.x configuration file for local or remote connections. ORACLE_HOME can also be left unset if you aren't using any of Oracle's executables, but error messages may not display, and the current DBD::Oracle generates a warning message (can this be disabled Tim ?). I've found discouraging the use of ORACLE_SID makes it easier on the users to see what is going on. I just wish that TWO_TASK could be renamed, since it makes no sense to the end user, and doesn't have the ORACLE prefix on it.

All the stuff below is from freshly installed DBD-Oracle-0.37 with DBI-0.71 and perl 5_003. This platform is Alpha running Digital UNIX V3.2C and Oracle 7.1.4 (they should and may upgrade one day). In case you wonder what I am using for this test run - this is slightly modified mkdb.pl test from an original 'oraperl' suite. Tim should have a copy and if anybody else wants it just drop me a line. Here is how test output looks like when 'Name' field is of VARCHAR2 type (we inserte some records and later we try to remove some of them by name). This is without the patch and this is what is expected. 2 fields, lengths 10, 40 types 1, 2 types character array, number Name Ext =3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D angela 208 arnold 305 catherine 201 julia 292 larry 424 nonumber <-N randal 306 <-NULL-> 999 <-NULL-> <-N 2 fields, lengths 10, 40 types 1, 2 types character array, number Name Ext =3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D larry 424 nonumber <-N randal 306 Now, the same stuff with type CHAR.

However, I want to install the modules on our web server (ie. Sol2.5, no ProC, no SparcWorks). So, I did a full build, make test, make install on the small box and everything went fine. Tar'ed up the DBD and DBI dirs complete...and moved everything to the web server. Make test/install for DBI(0.71) went fine. However, when I do a make test of the DBD(0.37), it fails. Seems to be looking for a library from ProC. So, my questions are: 1) can I do what I'm trying to do? 2) what is libclntsh.so.1.0 3) Do I have to have ProC installed on the box I'm using the Oracle DBD on?

First I sent it originally to dbi-dev. But it seems the list is dead, or no one there wanted to comment. Second I have released the alpha of my core iodbc extention for perl, and the following will provide some background for it's release. I have uploaded iodbc_ext_0_1.tar.gz to CPAN under the /authors/J_Michael_Mahan/ directory. Something I'd really like to see get done is a dbm module that uses this extention. Whether someone else does it or not. First I'd like to see how well this release works. J. Michael Mahan wrote: > > Tim Bunce wrote: > > > > > From: "J.

I think the url for that is: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/J_Michael_Mahan/iodbc_ext_0_1.tar.gz (but use one of the mirrors). --ed ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <04611-2@oink>; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 20:05:52 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840222304:25424:4; Fri, 16 Aug 96 20:05:04 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa25262; 16 Aug 96 20:04 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id IAA02550 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:24:08 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from mail.tolcontainers.com ([166.90.210.2]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id IAA02546 for ; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:24:07 -0700 From: Daniel_Saw@tolcontainers.com Received: by mail.tolcontainers.com; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA28032; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:22:21 -0700 Date: Fri, 16 Aug 96 08:09:21 PST Message-Id: <9607168402.AA840209100@ccmail.tolcontainers.com> To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: unsubscribe unsubscribe ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <07194-1@oink>; Sat, 17 Aug 1996 14:09:16 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840222434:09745:1; Fri, 16 Aug 96 20:07:14 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa09053; 16 Aug 96 20:06 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa02852; 16 Aug 96 20:05 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id IAA03056 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:59:07 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from voro.lbl.gov (voro.lbl.gov [131.243.240.19]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id IAA03052 for ; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:59:06 -0700 Received: from voro.lbl.gov (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by voro.lbl.gov (8.6.12/G) with ESMTP id IAA18013; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:58:56 -0700 Message-Id: <199608161558.IAA18013@voro.lbl.gov> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.2 7/18/95 To: reaten@pcii.net cc: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Re: question/how to In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 16 Aug 1996 12:20:23 -0000." <9608161120.AA29533@toad.ig.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 08:58:55 -0700 From: Mark Dedlow > Forwarded to dbi-users. > > ----- Begin Included Message ----- > > From reaten@pcii.net Thu Aug 15 19:41:09 1996 > Date: Thu, 15 Aug 1996 13:38:16 -0600 > From: Reaten > Organization: http://users.mwci.net/~reaten/index.html > Mime-Version: 1.0 > To: Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk > Subject: question/how to > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > I need a program that will query a Microsoft Access database from the > Web.

Win32::ODBC has been out for a while, and is based on NT::ODBC. The advantage of the ODBC extensions is that they provide an extension interface to ODBC directly, and not through the isqlish hack that I did. Nevertheless, the IODBC.EXE (isql clone) included with the above distribution is still pretty useful. I also encourage you *not* to use the sql.pl included in that distribution; it really was an example program that should never have been written.

I can have all the input required from the keyboard stored in a file and just feed that as 'input' to the perl script. Do you think we can achieve this?

Sure, many people here could help you but you are being selfish by abusing _everyones_ time just to save yourself a little. It would not be quite so bad if the question was _remotely_ difficult.

With SQL*Net V2, connecting to a remote machine "requires" the "@dbname" suffix to the end of a login. If you're logging into the local host (where the database resides physically), you don't need the suffix and you'll default to connecting to the database specified by $ORACLE_SID. (Assuming, of course, that $ORACLE_SID is defined in your environment.) This is the same behavior as we see with Oracle 7.2.3 under HP-UX 9.01 and, as far as I've been able to discern with our "resident" Oracle consultants, this is just how things go. -- Tim Irvin, HP-UX System Administrator / Oracle DBA Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space, Sunnyvale, California e-mail: irvin@lmsc.lockheed.com voice: (408) 742-0440 ************ all standard disclaimers apply ************ ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <22141-0@oink>; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 07:35:53 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840516147:17934:3; Tue, 20 Aug 96 05:42:27 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa17695; 20 Aug 96 5:41 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id VAA13637 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 21:32:03 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from gonzo.tamu.edu (gonzo.tamu.edu [165.91.72.200]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id VAA13633 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 21:32:01 -0700 Received: from gonzo.tamu.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by gonzo.tamu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.5) with ESMTP id XAA27822; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 23:31:53 -0500 (CDT) From: pckizer@tamu.edu (Philip Kizer) To: Amit Bhati cc: dbi-users@fugue.com (DBI:DBD Mailing List) Subject: Re: connect problem...

Sounds about right, that's why you have to set TWO_TASK instead of ORACLE_SID for SQL*Net connections.

But could be... Well, since it seems some are using oracle 7.3.x, it should be guaranteed they are using SQL*Net V2 as V1 wasn't supposed to be supported after 7.2. As I quoted before: From: Terry Greenlaw Subject: Re: DBD::Oracle failed on make test -- ora_login fail [ ... ] ORACLE_SID is really unnecessary to set since TWO_TASK provides the same functionality in addition to allowing remote connections. TWO_TASK = P:sid will use the pipe driver for local connections TWO_TASK = T:machine:sid will use TCP/IP (or D for DECNET, etc.) for remote SQL*Net 1.x conn. TWO_TASK = dbname will use the info stored in the SQL*Net 2.x configuration file for local or remote connections. If anyone has any evidence that this is not the case, please let me (us) know; similarly, let me know if anyone can confirm this info. -philip ____________________________________________________________ Philip Kizer ___ Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix ( 409.862.4120 ) pckizer@tamu.edu ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <22141-4@oink>; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 07:36:13 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840518657:03087:1; Tue, 20 Aug 96 06:24:17 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa02782; 20 Aug 96 6:23 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id WAA14318 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 22:15:57 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from voro.lbl.gov (voro.lbl.gov [131.243.240.19]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id WAA14314 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 22:15:55 -0700 Received: from voro.lbl.gov (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by voro.lbl.gov (8.6.12/G) with ESMTP id WAA01180; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 22:15:50 -0700 Message-Id: <199608200515.WAA01180@voro.lbl.gov> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.2 7/18/95 To: Amit Bhati cc: dbi-users@fugue.com (DBI:DBD Mailing List), Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk Subject: Re: connect problem...

Without a connect string (@db_alias) following the user/pass, the behavior of Oracle is: 1) check TWO_TASK for connect string, else 2) connect via ORACLE_SID to a local database If ORACLE_SID (and correct ORACLE_SID) does not match a running database on the local machine when there is not @db_alias and no TWO_TASK env var, you'll get the semget error. Note that this behavior is in no way unique to DBI; it is the same for all Oracle client programs (whether from Oracle Corp., or elsewhere (linked with Oracle libraries)). To better understand the behavior, you should read the Oracle docs, e.g. "Understanding SQL*NET", et. al.

I've looked at this problem a bit, but I don't know enough about Oracle (I guess) to decide what 'select' it is looking for. Is it an oracle symbol or the select in or maybe something else. And if it is from Oracle then there are many libraries containing it, one of which is libora.a which i'm already linking with. An obvious problem might be that something is wrong with my proc.mk, which is at the end of this mail.

So I looked up the Server Error Messages documentation and what it says is, ORA-01013 ORACLE not available Cause Oracle was not started up. Possible causes are: - The SGA requires more space than was allocated for it. - The operating system variable pointing to the instance is improperly defined.

Unfortunately I've run into a problem that is a bit of a stumbling block. I printed (and read) the 'rambling files' and was _really_ happy to find them! They seem to explain everything I needed to know, however, when trying to execute the following bit of code: ##begin code #!/usr/bin/perl -w use DBI; $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'mSQL' ); $dbh = $drh->connect( '', 'test' ); die "cannot connect: $DBI::errstr\n" unless $dbh; $cursor = $dbh->do( " INSERT INTO TABLE01 VALUES ( QJ, LIZ, EEYORE ) " ); $dbh->disconnect; exit 0; ##end code I get the following errors upon execution: ##begin error Identifier "main::cursor" used only once: possible typo at cgitest.pl line 8. Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x11b750) DESTROY ignored - never set up at cgites t.pl line 15. ##end error The file is called cgitest.pl even though it isn't, it contains everything I printed here, which was copied almost verbatim from Alligator's example in the ramble files. I'm a beginner to OOP, and I'm hoping this isn't something stupid that I am doing. There _IS_ a test database that contains a TABLE01 in the following format: ##begin msqldump snippet # # Table structure for table 'TABLE01' # CREATE TABLE TABLE01 ( she CHAR(32), him CHAR(32), who CHAR(32) ) \g ##end msqldump snippet I can add/remove from this database with the msql program that came with mSQL. By the look of the error it's a coding problem, but due to my lack of OOP knowledge I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If this is absolutely a coding problem, please let me know so I can go somewhere else and do it. (I only ask here because I don't know if I'm using the module wrong or perl wrong! :) Thanks for any assistance -QJ ~ ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <04472-25@oink>; Thu, 22 Aug 1996 07:39:51 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 840675390:05907:1; Thu, 22 Aug 96 01:56:30 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa05175; 22 Aug 96 1:55 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa21732; 22 Aug 96 1:54 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id OAA02249 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 14:38:42 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from fruitbat.mcqueen.com (pillshovel.mcqueen.com [194.72.106.246]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id OAA02244 for ; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 14:38:39 -0700 Received: (from descarte@localhost) by fruitbat.mcqueen.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id WAA18963; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 22:25:48 +0100 From: Alligator Descartes Message-Id: <199608212125.WAA18963@fruitbat.mcqueen.com> Subject: Re: mSQL::DBD version failure To: stergios@onward-net.com Date: Wed, 21 Aug 1996 22:25:47 +0100 (BST) Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com In-Reply-To: <9608211734.AA18612@onward-net.com> from "Stergios Marinopoulos" at Aug 21, 96 10:27:11 am X-Pants: ** The return address of this email should be: descarte@hermetica.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 568 > I had a similar problem with test.pl failing for mSQL.

What you need to do ( and which will remove the $cursor used only once warning ) is to add the lines: if ( !defined $cursor ) { die "Error in INSERT: $DBI::errstr\n"; } after the $cursor = $dbh->do line.

The bulk of this information is from dbi-users postings by: < tog < Terry Greenlaw terry@encompass.is.net < Encompass Technologies I have edited and supplemented. Using Oracle environment variables with sqlplus and Perl. --------------------------------------------------------- sqlplus ------- ORACLE_SID is really unnecessary to set since TWO_TASK provides the same functionality in addition to allowing remote connections. % setenv TWO_TASK T:hostname:ORACLE_SID % sqlplus username/password Note that if you have *both* local and remote databases, and you have ORACLE_SID *and* TWO_TASK set, and you don't specify a fully qualified connect string on the command line, TWO_TASK takes precedence over ORACLE_SID (i.e. you get connected to remote system). TWO_TASK = P:sid will use the pipe driver for local connections SQL*Net 1.x TWO_TASK = T:machine:sid will use TCP/IP (or D for DECNET, etc.) for remote SQL*Net 1.x conn. TWO_TASK = dbname will use the info stored in the SQL*Net 2.x configuration file for local or remote connections. ORACLE_HOME can also be left unset if you aren't using any of Oracle's executables, but error messages may not display. Discouraging the use of ORACLE_SID makes it easier on the users to see what is going on. I just wish that TWO_TASK could be renamed, since it makes no sense to the end user, and doesn't have the ORACLE prefix on it. Perl with DBI/DBD ----------------- Below are various ways of connecting to an oracle database using SQL*Net 1.x and SQL*Net 2.x.

I have been following the dbperl/DBI discussion for some time, but now I have got some questions and suggestions about further development(s). First I'll try to shortly summarize the state of the project. Please correct me if I misunderstood something. Short survey about involved components: --------------- --------------- oraperl appl. ... xyPerl Appl --------------- --------------- | | | | --------------- --------------- ----------------- oraperl Emul xyPerl Emul DBI Application --------------- --------------- ----------------- | | | \-------------------\ | /------------/ | | | DBI-Interface | | | | | | ---------------- DBI DBD-Interface ---------------- | | | /-----------------/ | | | | | -------------- --------------- ============== DBD::Oracle DBD::xy DBD::ODBC -------------- --------------- ============== | |ODBC Interface | ============== ODBC Driver- Manager ============== | | /--------/ | | | ============= =========== ODBC-Driver ... ODBC-Driver for Oracle for DB xy ============= =========== * At the moment there exist: - the DBI (Driver Manager) by Tim Bunce - several DBDs (Database Drivers) (see http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/ for details) - emulation layers like Oraperl emulation in order to support old style access to databases ( or is oraperl the only one?) * It is planed to use ODBC Driver Manager and Database Drivers in future. For motivation and details see http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/tidbits/new_directions.html or the README of the DBI. There already exists a free ODBC Driver Manager (Ke Jin's ( iODBC). Brian Jepson announced the Free ODBC Driver Pack project. * J. Michael Mahan (mahan@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu) developed a iODBC extension for perl (iodbc_ext_0_1). The interface 'is tied very close to the C-libraries' and it doesn't seem to work as as a DBD at the moment. So perhaps this extension could be used as a layer between the DBD::ODBC and the ODBC Driver Manager (as suggested by Michael). * The DBI-Interface ist not stable, the documentation is out of date, it is not recommended to use it for application development (the application interface, not the DBI itself!). The README of the DBI says: WARNING: THIS SOFTWARE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE DRAMATICALLY! The interfaces of the emulations should be used instead. Fortunately ODBC is fully specified, so the process of developing ODBC-Drivers and the work above the ODBC-Manager (specifying the API, developing the DBD) can be done independently. Let's talk about the latter. The first question is: what will be the supported and documented API for the application programmer? The emulation layers will be supported in future, but I don't think that will be the interface (or am I totally wrong?). Before dicussion about ODBC came up, I thought a simple (almost returncode-ignoring) program would look more or less like: use DBI; $drh = DBI->install_driver("my_driver") || die "cannot load driver.."; $dbh = $drh->connect("mydb","username","passwd") || die "cannot connect"; $sth = $dbh->prepare("select this,that from exampletab") || die "cannot prepare"; $sth->execute() || die "cannot execute" ; while (($thisval,$thatval) = $sth->fetch() ) { ...do something with thisval and thatval ... } $sth->finish(); $dbh->commit(); $dbh->disconnect(); But now we will be ODBC (or SQL CLI)-oriented! I think we all agree with Tim who says we should now 'carefully define a fairly formal "perl language binding" for the SQL CLI/ODBC API'. We could have two extreme positions: 1) We define the Perl-API strictly according to the C-Interface. This way seems to be gone by J. Michael Mahan. He does not even omit the string-length-parameters. Disadvantage: OO-features of Perl not used Perl-features of Perl not used ;) Advantage : Not so much (almost none) extra documentation needed, old ODBC-programmers feel at home simple implementation The following example is a modified (simplified) version of an example from Michael's documentation (we ignore returncodes). use iodbc; SQLAllocEnv($henv); SQLAllocConnect($henv, $hdbc)); SQLConnect($hdbc, "mydb",SQL_NTS, "user", SQL_NTS, "passwd", SQL_NTS); SQLAllocStmt($hdbc,$hstmt); SQLExecDirect($hstmt, "select this,that from exampletab", SQL_NTS); SQLBindCol($hstmt, 1, SQL_C_DEFAULT,\$thisval,30,SQL_NULL_DATA); SQLBindCol($hstmt, 2, SQL_C_DEFAULT,\$thatval,30,SQL_NULL_DATA); while (SQLFetch($hstmt)==SQL_SUCCESS){ ..do something with thisval and thatval.. } SQLFreeStmt($hstmt, SQL_DROP); SQLTranscact($henv,$hdbc,SQL_COMMIT); SQLDisconnect($hdbc); SQLFreeConnect($hdbc); SQLFreeEnv($henv); 2) We define the Perl-API as we would like to have it using Perl's OO-features (and Perl's perl-features) Disadvantage: more work specifying, documenting, implementing... more time needed ODBC-programmers not at home Advantages: better interface We could have a look at the Java JDBC specification too (http://splash.javasoft.com/jdbc/). JDBC is a sort of Java-Version of ODBC, it is object-oriented and we could take some ideas from there. Let's have a look at (part of) a JDBC-Program (without exception handling and class definitions): import java.sql.* ... Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("...mydb...", "user","passwd"); Statement st = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select this,that from exampletab"); while (rs.next()) { String thisval = rs.getString(1); String thatval = rs.getString(2); ... do something with thisval and thatval... } st.close(); con.close(); ... Doesn't it look more like the first example than like the second? I think we should choose a way between this two positions. We could start discussion with an API close the ODBC-C-API and then carefully add modifications. Perhaps we should start with ODBC Core Level. So at the end we might have a set of general rules how to call ODBC-Functions from Perl. A programmer then only needs this set of rules on his first knee, the ODBC-Spec on his second knee and can start writing DBI-Programs (sometimes it would be good to have more than only two knees ;) . A simple tutorial explaining core function would be helpful for those without ODBC-experience. Perhaps this could be developed during API discussion. An quickshot _example_: ----------------------- If we take ODBC 2.0 Core Level and have some rules like - model handles as objects (suggested by Tim) - omit input string length parameters (suggested by Tim) - omit both types of output string length parameters (hmmm...can we really?) - prefer returnings lists to modifying output parameters (why? why not- ist's an example) we could end up with something like the following classes and methods: Class Environment: ------------------ Methods: - Connect($dsn,$user,$passwd) returns Connection object - Error() returns error-information as list of ($sqlstate,$nativeError,$errormsg) or better one method for each value? - FreeEnv() frees environment resources Class Connection: ----------------- Methods: - AllocStmt() returns Statement object - Error() see above - Transact($taEndType) parameter must be SQL_COMMIT or SQL_ROLLBACK - Disconnect() disconnect from database - FreeConnect() frees connection resources Class Statement: ---------------- Methods: - Prepare($sqlstring) - GetCursorName() returns associated cursor name - SetCursorName($cname) sets cursor name - Execute() executes prepared statement - ExecDirect(sqlstring) executes sql statement - RowCount() returns number of rows affected by statement - NumResultCols() returns number of columns in result set - DescribeCol($colunNo) returns columns description as a list of ($columnname,$sqltype,$precision,$scale,$nullable) or better one method for each value? - BindCol($columnNo,$resultvar) binds variable to result column - ColAttributes($solumnNo,$descType) return single description value for column. Valid values for $descTpe are SQL_COLUMN_COUNT, SQL_COLUMN_LENGTH, SQL_COLUMN_NAME, ... - Fetch() fetches next row of result data - Cancel() cancels processing of statement - Error() see above - FreeStmt() frees statement resources You can still recognize the ODBC API, use the ODBC docs, but wait: What about ODBC returncodes? A variable like DBI::ODBC::retcode which has to be checked after each function call? Should we return to output parameters and let the functions simply return native ODBC returncodes instead of objects? So I think the following first questions arise: General questions: - Which Version of ODBC are we talking about? (2.0, 3.0, 3.5?) - Which Level of API are we talking about ? Should we start with core level? About API: - Should we model handles as objects? - Should we delete length parameters for input string parameters ? (Yes, I think) - Can we delete length parameters for output string parameters? An example: ODBC function SQLDescribeCol has parameters: SQLDescribeCol(hstmt,...,szColName,cbColNameMax,pcbColName,...) with: hstmt[input]: statement handle szColName[output]: pointer to storage for column name cbColNameMax[input]: maximum length of szColName buffer , in bytes pcbColName[output]: number of bytes available to return in szColName szColname may be truncated if cbColNameMax is greater or equal to cbColNameMax An DBD::ODBC could first allocate memeory which is normally sufficient for column names and call the ODBC function. If it detects that the length was not sufficient it could reallocate a greater string and recall the function. In Perl you wouldn't see anything of this. - Should we use normal returncodes and output parameters? Perhaps it is better to stop now before I get too confused or confusing. What do you think about these questions?
