Help! Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, I'm new to DBI so this is probably something stupid I am doing. Please forgive me if it is. I have a UltraSparc running Sol 2.5.1 and Perl 5.003 and when I try to install DBD Informix I am getting some strange errors. The DBI install seemed to go well, only a few warnings.. test and install completed with no errors.. I'm using gcc to compile it. I have Informix Online Dynamic Server installed in /illustra/informix .. (long story.. :-) "onstat" reports : INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.20.UC2 ESQL/C appears to be version 7.2 also (that's what the manual says...)

(Thanks to Reetnem@aol.com for providing a patch that prompted me to complete the work.) Oraperl $ora_cache and cache parameter to ora_open now work. Default cache size is adjusted automatically for row width. Major reworking of field buffer memory management. Added a more internal debugging. Further updates to the README files. As a little example of the effectiveness of the cache, a large script of mine which does lots of large queries across a modem link now runs 70% faster. (LAN based clients will see an improvement but generally not _that_ much!) Although I forgot to add it to the Changes file, I'd classify this as a beta-level stability release. It should be fine (I've done quite a lot of testing) but you should always test yourself. Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual. Should arrive on CPAN in a day or three. Tim. p.s. Astute readers of the source might notice that it's taken a tiny step towards supporting binding entire arrays.

Never installed another version here. No upgrades yet. I now installed Pro*C, so DBD::Oracle was now built with 'proc.mk'. But still, I get the same error. Hmmm... I really think that I have tried all hints from those README* files now, but no luck yet. Anything else I could try? How to narrow the 'bug search scope'?

If I recall you have to jack up the shared memory pages, semaphore limits and other stuff.

Both without TWO_TASK, or with TWO_TASK set to dbname (sqlnet v2), and a listener running. I also installed Oracle Webserver. This also works. The database seems to run ok, I think. Now, If all those clients accessing oracle (sqlplus, svrmgr, orawebserver) on the local machine have no problems, what might be different when oracle is accessed via DBD-Oracle/DBI? I also made a 'truss make test', but interpreting that output is probably more suited for system gurus... Still not happy...

I used their JDBC/T3 product last summer. It was very very slow.

We use LiveWire for a few clients (mostly with Oracle, once with Informix). My major gripes about LiveWire are that JavaScript has many bugs and not many features and LiveWire currently only supports Oracle 7.1. You can make it work with 7.2 and 7.3 (on Solaris anyway) and sqlnet though. On NT I've had to use ODBC to get LiveWire to work with Oracle 7.3. Overall I'd choose Perl and DBI/DBD almost 100 percent of the time. Unfortunately it's not always my decision, though in most cases I end up using Perl for some part of a project since it's so much more flexible and quick than anything else out there. -- Mike Linksvayer Just in Time Solutions, Inc.

Microsoft has made sure that you can get ODBC Drivers and ODBC Driver Managers for Windows (in fact, NT Workstation 4.0 comes with an ODBC driver for SQL Server.) For non-windows platforms, you are on your own. Although some companies have written ODBC drivers and managers, they are expensive solutions. A freeware ODBC Driver Manager is in the works, but writing your own ODBC drivers is hard for some databases. For example, SQL Server's over-the-wire protocol is called Tabular Data Stream. I can find no documentation on it in my MSDN Enterprise subscription. Win32::ODBC can't really help on UNIX platforms since it just calls ODBC Drivers (which are plentiful on Windows platforms). Porting it to UNIX would require you buy ODBC drivers for UNIX.

Microsoft has made sure that you can get ODBC Drivers and ODBC Driver Managers for Windows (in fact, NT Workstation 4.0 comes with an ODBC driver for SQL Server.) For non-windows platforms, you are on your own. Although some companies have written ODBC drivers and managers, they are expensive solutions. A freeware ODBC Driver Manager is in the works, but writing your own ODBC drivers is hard for some databases. For example, SQL Server's over-the-wire protocol is called Tabular Data Stream. I can find no documentation on it in my MSDN Enterprise subscription. Win32::ODBC can't really help on UNIX platforms since it just calls ODBC Drivers (which are plentiful on Windows platforms). Porting it to UNIX would require you buy ODBC drivers for UNIX.

We've just purchased an ODBC package from Intersolv for Sun Solaris (with Sybase drivers). While we choose Intersolv, it was a tight contest between them, Visigenic, and a third vendor whose name escapes me right now. The single Sybase license we bought was $195. Sure, I'd rather have a free copy, but the price isn't too bad. Also, I'm sure that there is some price break if you buy in quantity. ODBC is rapidly gaining strength on all platforms, not just Windows. It's just a shame that WIN32::ODBC seems to be so focused on the Window's OS. But, the code does look like fairly straight forward C++. Perhaps porting it won't be so bad... --Craig On Mon, 27 Jan 1997 12:04:37 -0500, Dan DeMaggio wrote: > *** From dbi-users -- To unsubscribe, see the end of this message. = *** > >Craig Kickel wrote: >> Has anyone looked into the Win32::ODBC package from Roth >> Consulting (http://www.roth.net/odbc)?

Which version of DBD::Informix are you using? I think it must be v0.24 or some earlier version. I have tested: $dbh->do("select * from systables into temp t1"); with my development version (DBD::Informix v0.50 pre-alpha), and it works fine (and I don't think I've changed anything since v0.25 to fix the problem). I think that DBD::Informix v0.24 would have had problems, being confused by the fact that the statement starts with the keyword 'SELECT' but cannot be treated like a standard SELECT statement.

I took over starting immediately after version 0.24 was released by Alligator Descartes, my honourable predecessor in the list of people who have helped develop DBD::Informix. I released version 0.25 in early December 1996, and it has been available via CPAN since then. The versions prior to 0.25 (and especially prior to 0.24) will receive scant support from me, mainly because I am unfamiliar with them. >CIS> make test >PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -I./blib/arch -I./blib/lib -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.003 -I/usr/local/lib/perl5 test.pl >install_driver(Informix) failed: Can't load './blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so' for module DBD::Informix: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: gl_full_mbscat: referenced in ./blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix >.so at /usr/local/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 140. > >[...] > >DBI 0.73 > >INFORMIX-ESQL Version 7.20.UC2 > >[...] Given that you are using ESQL/C 7.20.UC2, your problem is primarily that the library list changed between 7.1x and 7.2x ESQL/C, and you need to get -lgls into the command line which creates the DBD::Informix shared library. The symbol gl_full_mbscat() is defined in the GLS library, libgls.so, which is new with 7.2x ESQL/C. The v0.25 make process gets around that problem, especially on Solaris because that's where the DBD::Informix development is now being done, and that environment has been exhaustively tested, therefore.

In his message Pat was using DBD-Oracle 0.39 and perl didn't core dump on him, but the end result and environment are similar. The problem, perl, DBI, and DBD-Oracle build Ok under AIX but DBD-Oracle fails it's test while trying to login to the database. In my case perl core dumped (output included later). After playing around I found that the order and number of libraries that $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/demo/proc.mk and $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk were different. If I generated the DBD-Oracle make file using oracle.mk (after patching Makefile.PL, see below) it compiled, was able to login, and passed the tests. Ok, great it appears to work for me. Can anyone tell me why? Is it just a mistake on Oracle's part for this particular version? Is there something more general that I'm missing here? Eric Bartley >>>> Patch for Makefile.PL As Makefile.PL is it stops processing Oracle's makefile as soon as it finds a target. The problem with is that the first include file has some targets at the end of it, which means that we never process the rest of the original make file. Oracle.mk in my case, combines definitions from the include file to produce the correct list of libraries.

Can anyone of you Perl gurus help me with my current problem? I have created a module called 'Security.pm' that is like a wrapper around 'Oracle.pm'. Basically my intention is to prevent certain users from performing certain operations on certain tables (believe me its not a database security issue but a more complex one.) My problem is that the 'Security.pm' module needs to be made available to all users (they can 'use' it in their Perl scripts) but they should not be allowed to copy or even look at the contents. I have tried making the file executable only at the OS level (UNIX) but the Perl interpreter could not read it - quite obvious. So how do I make the Perl interpreter read a module that has no read permissions or is encripted or hidden? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I believe you (but there is a _very_ robust mechanism for access control built into oracle on a user/role/view basis). And if it's not handled at the DBMS level, have you disabled access to sql*plus? > My problem is that the 'Security.pm' module needs to be made > available to all users (they can 'use' it in their Perl scripts) but they > should not be allowed to copy or even look at the contents. > I have tried making the file executable only at the OS level (UNIX) but > the Perl interpreter could not read it - quite obvious. How big is Security.pm? Could you re-write it in C and load it dynamically? That would hide the sources, at least. Making a setuid version of perl won't work, cause if they can execute it they can write a one-liner to type the Security.pm module. How about going the other direction? Making Security.pm a program with setuid (via emulation or a wrapper) that reads and excutes the users code (via eval)?

We are in the midst of redesigning the entire system and thats going to take us least a year. The 'Security.pm' is a temporary solution to our security problem and its going to go end of the year.

Does this mean that if I rewrite it in 'C' I can use it like a Perl module - for example can I have access to a variable in the 'C' module from a Perl script? Right now I am using something like Security::my_black_listed_users. > > Making a setuid version of perl won't work, cause if they can execute > it they can write a one-liner to type the Security.pm module. > Yes, but if they have no idea how the methods in 'Security.pm' work they will not be in the position to write their own. The users are not competent enough to mess with Oraperl but are smart enough to modify the hardcoded conditions in 'Security.pm'. Thanks for your help. I think I'll go with the compiled C code for now. Although I wish there was some better way of implementing business rules in Perl modules. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chris Abajian couloir@u.washington.edu > Dept. of Molecular Biotechnology, K-326 work (206) 616-1020 > University of Washington, Box 357730 fax (206) 685-7301 > Seattle, WA 98195 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

I'm sure any longtime reader of the group is familar with the problems of mail list management that have occurred in the past. All of a sudden after many months I am again receiving a lot of mail from a group I did not subscribed to nor solicit. The web page provided to manage this service is still as lame as ever. I see no button to unsubscribe from the group. When I directly emailed the admin for this dist. group many many months ago I seem to remember getting a reply with the remark "get a clue" or something to that affect (the person was a real asshole and I hope they rot in cyber-hell). I know I emailed the entire group and that was not an accident. This is simply my way of getting attention because I am getting your unwanted attention. I simply want to get off the merry go round again. Whoever is managing this group please take notice and drop me again from this group. and try to fix whatever db problem you have with your dist group or at the very least how bout a few more options on your subscriber web page such as: unsubcribe from all dbi mail groups sorry to take everyone's time again.

Security implimented by hiding the source code is a little like sticking your head under the sheets when you think hear a burglar in your room: the protection is imaginary at best. You should be using some sort of authentication/encryption. If you can't authenticate against some sort of user database, you could always consider encrypting the source code, and only users who can provide a suitable decryption key get to run it. :-) Be warned that the user could circumvent that, too, by just running perl with -d... steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

I don't know that I've ever seen any tantrums quite like those exhibited in the past by the administrators of this list. It's really too bad that is the case. Occasionally, if the users are overlooked, disrespected, publicly reprimanded, they are likely to get upset. If you don't like your volunteer job, then don't do it.

Date: Thu, 30 Jan 1997 08:30:43 -0800 From: Ted Lemon *** From dbi-users -- To unsubscribe, see the end of this message. *** > The web page provided to manage this service is still as lame as ever. > I see no button to unsubscribe from the group. To quote from the lame web page to which you refer: The checkboxes below indicate the current state of your subscriptions. If you wish to subscribe to a a list to which you are not yet subscribed, click the checkbox next to it. >>> If you wish to unsubscribe from a mailing list to which you are <<< >>> currently subscribed, likewise click the checkbox next to it. <<< I don't know of a better way to word this, although I'm open to suggestions. Putting useful explanatory text here is complicated by the fact that what you see depends on what web browser you're running, and on what operating system. So to some extent I have to trust that you already know how to operate your web browser. For example, if you run Netscape under the X Window System, you see Three-D buttons, which appear to be out if you're not subscribed, and in if you are. If you're running Netscape on the Mac, you see empty boxes if you're not subscribed, and boxes with X marks in them if you are. I think on Win95 you see empty boxes or boxes with check marks in them. I'm sure Microsoft Explorer does something completely different. > All of a sudden after many months I am again receiving a lot of mail from a > group I did not subscribed to nor solicit. I'm sorry about that. The reason this happened to you is that there was a bug in the mailing list software such that if you were not subscribed to the announce mailing list, you didn't get mail for the other lists either, regardless of whether or not you had subscribed. When I fixed the bug, you started getting mail again. In any case, the solution for you is to go to the web page and enter your last name (you're the only Bailey on the list, so there's no point in getting more specific). Then when it brings up your subscription record, enter your passcode (click on the button that says ``Click here to mail your passcode to yourself'' if you don't have a record of your passcode) and click on the checkbox to the left of the phrase ``send me mail for DBI users''. This is the only mailing list to which you're currently subscribed, so clicking once should raise the 3-d button, erase the X or checkmark, or whatever. Then click on Apply Changes. Your subscription should be gone, and you will receive a confirmation message by email. You may receive a few more messages from dbi-users that were sent before you subscribed and have not yet been delivered to you, but you shouldn't get any more mail after those have been delivered. Please remember that this mailing list is a free service, and that you did subscribe willingly - nobody added you to the list without your permission. Because it's a free service, the level of personal service you get isn't very high - I've tried to automate it as much as possible. Calling me an asshole because I don't provide you with free, personalized service isn't very constructive, or, for that matter, very accurate. _MelloN_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

I'm sure any longtime reader of the group is familar with the problems of mail list management that have occurred in the past. All of a sudden after many months I am again receiving a lot of mail from a group I did not subscribed to nor solicit. The web page provided to manage this service is still as lame as ever. I see no button to unsubscribe from the group. When I directly emailed the admin for this dist. group many many months ago I seem to remember getting a reply with the remark "get a clue" or something to that affect (the person was a real asshole and I hope they rot in cyber-hell). I know I emailed the entire group and that was not an accident. This is simply my way of getting attention because I am getting your unwanted attention. I simply want to get off the merry go round again. Whoever is managing this group please take notice and drop me again from this group. and try to fix whatever db problem you have with your dist group or at the very least how bout a few more options on your subscriber web page such as: unsubcribe from all dbi mail groups sorry to take everyone's time again.

No, the ESQL/C Runtime allows you to run pre-existing ESQL/C applications. It does not provide the ESQL/C compiler, deliberately. You have to have the ESQL/C Development system to get the compiler. >How do I test if my ESQL is properly installed and working? Can I >connect to the remote DB and test some queries like Oracle SQLnet >(%sqlplus login/passwd@t:machine:DBname) via command line? Well, normally if you get the ESQL/C RunTime, you also have some ESQL/C application which can be tested to see whether it can connect to the (an) Informix database. If you don't have some sort of OnLine (or SE) licence on your machine, you won't have DB-Access, which is another way of testing connectivity... >I'm sorry that I have so many questions which are really not about DBD >since I didn't have the menu nor did I get an answer from Netscape. >You're the only place I can turn to.

This is somewhat unusual, I think. I've not seen that problem, anyway. I would expect to use the database@server notation to connect to the remote database from OnLine; I'd only use //machine/database for SE. Since you are using 5.0x OnLine and ESQL/C, the message probably means you do not have Informix-Star, but that syntax is only supported if you do have I-Star installed. If the database is actually on the local OnLine server, you shouldn't need I-Star, but if it is on some otehr machine, you will. If you were using 6.0x or later, then I-Star is no longer a separate product and it would not be an issue. >I can access the remote database using dbaccess and also via a c program.

Here is the working perl4 code: ------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/oraperl $lda = &ora_login('',"database","passwd") || die "Logon to database failed"; $csr = &ora_open($lda, "insert into LONGTEST(ID, LONGFIELD) values(:1,:2)") || die "Inserting data to table LONGFIELD before binding failed."; &ora_bind($csr,1,"$textdata") || die "Binding to table LONGTEST failed."; &ora_close($csr); &ora_logoff($lda); This perl5 code doesnt insert the whole data: --------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/operl5 use Oraperl; $lda = &ora_login('',"database","passwd") || die "Logon to database failed"; $csr = &ora_open($lda, "insert into LONGTEST(ID, LONGFIELD) values(:1,:2) ") || die "Inserting data to table LONGFIELD before binding failed."; &ora_bind($csr,1,"$textdata") || die "Binding to table LONGFIELD failed"; &ora_close($csr); &ora_logoff($lda); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommi Hakala email: tommiih@cism.bus.utexas.edu 910 West 26TH st. 102 78705 Austin, TX, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

With your comment, however, I looked for something similar, and the section on "Bad free" seems like a close match. While recompiling everything from scratch to make sure I didn't miss anything, I noticed the message appears during perl's lib/odbm.t test. I'll poke into it myself some more, but if nothing comes of that it sounds like I should pursue the issue with the perl folks rather than the dbi/dbd folks. -- J.D.

I feel that this is the best forum to ask this question as you are the people that know DBD/DBI the best .... A Little background on our company. We provide systems integration services for a number of companies around the world in a neich market. We supply a front end product that we interface to back end servers and existing systems. To make our own life easy we are using DBD/DBI to access databases ( currently DB2 and working on one for Oracle ) as a generic database interface. We also use Perl for various data manipulations and processing. What I need is information about what features each of the Databases provides and what limitations the DBD/DBI's have. ( i.e. the DB2 DBD/DBI does not support stored procedures that return parameters ) The general topics of interest are: Multiple connections per process Transaction processing Rollback and commit Stored Procedures User Data Types User Functions .....( Anything else that I can not think of ) Also What are the future plans for the DBD/DBI's i.e. will the support un-supported features in the near future ? I Know this is a very general question but it is of interest to me and I'm sure that others will also find it useful. Thanks Nick Langstone ( Senior Analyst Programmer ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

Until now when I made any new instalation machine for other web server (I developing intranet application and made many instalation intranet server), and I copy many program from the original one, there are not any trouble ( I use same machine and OS including web server). I think path for DBI/DBD and perl really not need to change, the always same. The robustness of DBI/DBD with Oracle for now I had developing many intranet application using DBI/DBD:Oracle and until now there is no problem. And record I control is had more than 200-700 record and DBI/DBD give enough respons time. ================================================================ Life like route, sometimes we never know the right way.

Do you have a list of names ? Do I have assurance from you that DBI will remain somewhat stable in its current form and DBD::Oracle as well ? Plus, will the database drivers *probably* continue to work, even as the database engines themselves change ? (e.g. Is it likely that critical modifications to the drivers will be made, in the case that the vendors themselves changed something?) Thanks so much for the response.

DBD::DB2 is, like most of the drivers, a spare time project. It only gets worked on when all my real work is done or when someone reports what I deem to be a severe error. Unfortunately, I don't foresee any change in status any time soon (I'm already working on various things 20 hours a day, 7 days a week).

The folks who write DBI/DBD software do it as a contribution to the general welfare of folks like you and me. To then go and ask them to write and then maintain gobs of documentation that help make your job easier is probably not what they have in mind as a very high priority. I would suggest respectfully that you scout the archives, faqs, etc and take it upon yourself to develop and maintain this document for the better good of the DBI/DBD community - as well as yourself. -Lane Bien Logic Creators of http://flirt.com Powered By DBI/DBD At 11:05 AM 2/3/97 +1300, Nick Langstone wrote: > *** From dbi-users -- To unsubscribe, see the end of this message. *** > >HI there, > >This is a request for information.

I can't locate any documentation on this. It is 0.

If your blobs are all smaller than 64K you can just pass 65536 as length and get your whole LONGs in one go (you'll get just as much data as is actually in the blob, it doesn't pad it out to 64K or anything sill like that)... but Oracle gets unhappy if you try to get chunks bigger than that, so what you do is read 64K at a time... look at the example code in README.longs. Also, don't forget to set $ora_cache to 1! If you don't do this, the prefetch will cause you to end up with blobs from different rows than the ones you want. -j ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

Oracle was upgraded to 7.3.2.3 as well. I have built DBD 44 and DBI 75. This all worked fine with 7.3.2.3. After moving a 7.0.16 database to the new machine, I discovered that one critical Perl program ( the one I use for hot backups ) was getting the ORA-01019 when connecting to the 7.0.16 database. The 7.3 database worked fine. This same program had worked fine backing up the 7.0 database on another machine. After some experimenting, I discovered that all was well if DBD was compiled with the libraries from Oracle 7.2.3. No more Ora-1019. Any Ideas?

Yay! It is great and much faster than what I was using before. So I thought, for those in similar situations and those interested, I'd post my solutions. Tim was right -- using gnu ld is a bad idea. My DB_File module was mangled so I got a new one and rebuilt it. I had problems with libraries not getting found. I did the following: unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH setenv PATH /usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/gnu/bin Configuring also picked up "/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris/bin" which had gnu's "as" and "ld" programs in it (which were "bad ideas") so I had to switch them to the /usr/ccs/bin/ varietals. Lots and lots of fighting but I finally did it. All you C god(esses) probably know this, but I found adding "-v" to whatever gcc command line bombed most helpful in reverse problem finding. to configure the making of PERL5: sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -des -Dloclibpth="/usr/lib" Anyway, Thanks a lot Tim and John. After all this effort, I almost gave up. Now I'm glad I didn't. I love the DBI! -Q From Tim: >> Here is the output for "make".

I forgot to mention I set $char_attrib={ora_type=>1} as oraperl documentation suggests. Tim, the problem is this: Using oraperl emulation, I'm trying to insert rows in a table. Many bound variables are comments that have spaces in them. The insert works, but variable with spaces in them loose everything after the first space in them. Essentially only the first word is inserted. I tried doing the same thing using native DBI, DBD (my first attempt ever) I get the same problem. Now I don't know if the problem is my script or the database setup. I'm going to try to do the same thing on a different database and see what I get. I hope this helps.

The "examples" that I've been referred to in README.longs are straight from Oraperl and the interaction with DBI is _much_ different (at least it seems so to me (-:). I've tried my best, but I'm completely lost at this point. :-( Is there anyone out there with some sample code that uses DBI.pm to retrieve longs from Oracle? Here's what I'm doing. I've created a "fetchLong" method in my CASDBI CLASS (that inherits all of the DBI methods) that will take care of all of the complexity of the blob_read method. This is a typical invocation: $scopeNote = $thes->fetchLong("select ScopeNote from ThesHeadings where Heading = $heading"); This is my first cut at fetchLong (the preliminary "stuff" deleted): $stHandle = $self->prepare($statement); if ($self->err) { carp "CASDBI::fetchLong: Prepare failed for following statement:"; print STDERR "\t\"$statement\"\n"; print STDERR "\t", $self->errstr, "\n"; } else { $returnCode = $stHandle->execute(); $blob = ''; $length = 65536; $offset = 0; while (1) { $frag = $stHandle->blob_read(0,$offset,$length); last unless $frag; $ll = length($frag); last unless $ll; $blob .= $frag; $offset += $ll; } $stHandle->finish; } if ($blob) { return $blob; } else { return undef; } HOWEVER, I NEVER get anything back! $frag is _always_ empty.

First I had problems installing mSQL-0.60-pl9. I have to 1.) remove %att from Makefile.Pl (this isn't documented in the README like Bob Wilkinson wrote to me!) 2.) DBI and DBD-mSQL has used different directories for DBIXS.h 3.) The Version of mSQL.pm differs from the Version in mSQL.xs after fixing these things I get it work! But now I can't access the attributes of a statement handle. While the data from a select is ok, the NAME attribute only contain the data of the first record retrieved, and the TYPE attribute in undefined. I don't know what else is waiting for me..., but perhaps this is fixed in 0.60pl10. If it's not fixed and it's really a bug (and not an error of mine), perhaps I can help fixing it. BTW. Is there an official way to get the names of fields of an table, before doing an query? If not it would be nice to add it to the specification (along with getting the names of all tables in a database) Gerald --- Gerald Richter ECOS Electronic Communication Services E-Mail: richter@ecos.de WWW: http://www.ecos.de Tel: 06133/925151 Fax: 06133/925152 Faxabruf: 06133/93910100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

Doesn't seem that way to me... just different names. Anyway, I've been using DBI, /not/ Oraperl, but unfortunately you can't use "pure" DBI because you need to set $ora_cache... there doesn't seem to be a DBI euivalent of this (or if there is, I haven't found it.) From the posted code it seems you ignored this bit of wisdom from my prior message. Otherwise, the thing you're doing wrong is that you *must* fetch the row before you can fetch the longs associated with that row. This is true for Oracle at the C interface, DBI/Oraperl inherits the mechanism from there. In other words, use the following alorithm... 1) disable cache 2) prepare( select ... ) 3) execute 4) while rows to fetch do 5) fetch row 6) repeat 7) fetch chunk of long 8) until have all of it 9) done If your select selects more than one row the need for step 4 may become a bit clearer... the blob_read always applies to the row that was last fetched. -j ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

Now my ld can link both formats. In theory. Now, I'm getting complaints about $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ostart.o having an undefined 'main'. How does ostart.o fit into this? It's what 'perl Makefile.PL' said it was ignoring as 'ld' ('/bin/idld /usr/oracle7/lib/ostart.o'). So it seems either Oracle.o or dbdimp.o needs to have a main, and neither do. Why is this so difficult, when A made it sound so easy? Maybe it's because I'm American.

If you can guarantee that you will never cause perl to coerce the data from integer to char, the SQL_C_SMALLINT will work, otherwise it needs to be SQL_C_CHAR.

Hi Jeff, If I recall correctly, you're using 5.00 or 5.01 ESQL/C... That being the case, the 'disconnect' operation is coded as 'CLOSE DATABASE'. Unless your database is on a remote machine, closing the database does not detach the engine, whether it is OnLine or SE matters not (with the 5.0x versions of ESQL/C; it does matter with 6.0x and later versions). There are a couple of ways of looking at and/or dealing with this, and they all revolve around the source file esqlc_v5.ec: 1. The way I looked at it, and the way it is implemented, is that there is no disconnect as such in ESQL/C, and CLOSE DATABASE is the nearest equivalent, so that is what should be implemented, and the behaviour of CLOSE DATABASE is therefore deemed to be correct. 2. The code should disconnect the database engine. This can be done with the documented function, sqlexit(). The function call can be inserted into the function dbd_ix_closedatabase() after the CLOSE DATABASE statement. It is reasonably innocuous to do this -- the disadvantage is that if you then open the database again, a new server process (sqlexec, sqlturbo) will have to be started, whereas without the sqlexit(), the existing one will be reused. This is all handled transparently to the ESQL/C code, so it is not a bad idea, but it is often sub-optimal. 3. The use of sqlexit() in dbd_ix_closedatabase() should be a compile-time option. 4. The use of sqlexit() in dbd_ix_closedatabase() should be a run-time option selected by environment variable. 5. The use of sqlexit() in dbd_ix_closedatabase() should be a run-time option specified by attributes, and since no attributes are allowed in disconnect, the attribute would have to be specified in the connect. And what should the attribute be? '{CallSqlExitOnDisconnect=>1}' is a possibility. 6. A new function should be provided to give access to the sqlexit() function. Since the persistence of the engine is an issue for you, Jeff, the simplest fix by far is option 2. However, I have to deal with the longer-term issue of what's correct for everyone. At the coding level, option 1 is trivial (I do nothing except update the documentation, and that will need to happen regardless of the choice). Option 2 is barely more complex. But would people rather have the choice of Option 1 or Option 2, and if so, how should the option be given? Environment variable? Arguments? Not trivial. I'd appreciate feedback on which way is perceived as best (which is why I've copied this to dbi-dev as well as dbi-users). Now the problem has been discovered, I think I prefer one of options 1, 2 or 4, but I'm looking for other opinions.

Your PL/SQL might look something like this -- global variable to allow Perl access arrays -- pl_array is your array type defined elsewhere internal_dummy_pl_array pl_array; -- procedure to save into global array PROCEDURE set_the_pl_array ( the_result pl_array ) IS BEGIN internal_dummy_pl_array := the_result; END; -- function retrieves one element from the global array FUNCTION the_element_with_index ( the_index BINARY_INTEGER ) RETURN NUMBER IS BEGIN IF internal_dummy_pl_array.EXISTS(the_index) THEN RETURN internal_dummy_pl_array(the_index); ELSE RETURN 0; END IF; END; You would use the procedure to save the result of your function returning an array, the retrieve the values one by one using the function above. Your invocations from perl might look something like (untested): set_the_pl_array(my_func_returning_array(:1, :2); -- or however you invoke your function -- you decide what to bind ... back to perl to do some processing ... ... in a loop ... :1 := the_element_with_index(:2); here :2 contains a (read-only) incrementing index and :1 is the result which you add to your perl array, probably using push(). Hope this explains it a bit better. Like I said, it's not very pretty. I'm putting the list on copy. If there _is_ a better way, I'd be glad to hear of it.

I will step up the final clean-up work and release DBD::Informix v0.50 rather sooner than I was going to as it has a number of improvements in it. And as a result of these messages from Serge, I've modified the code so that it allows a single default connection when you specify an empty string as the first argument to DBI->connect(), and then you can do database manipulation: use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect('','','','Informix'); $dbh->do('drop database widget_03'); $dbh->do('create database widget_03 with buffered log'); The changes in esqlc_v6.ec are not outrageously complex, but they are not readily patchable because dbd_ix_setconnection() has had its argument type changed, and that throws everything into confusion. So, I attach a manually created patch file which should change the esqlc_v6.ec file from DBD::Informix v0.25 correctly; it worked for me when I tried it: cd /where/you/have/DBD-Informix-0.25 patch < /tmp/this.saved.email.message Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include *** /tmp/da002Ie Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969 --- esqlc_v6.ec Thu Feb 13 09:46:32 1997 *************** *** 1,11 **** /* ! * @(#)esqlc_v6.ec 25.4 96/12/02 10:19:05 * * DBD::Informix for Perl Version 5 -- implementation details * ! * Code acceptable to ESQL/C Version 5.0x * ! * Copyright (c) 1996 Jonathan Leffler * * You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public * License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file. --- 1,12 ---- /* ! * @(#)esqlc_v6.ec 50.2 97/02/13 09:27:56 -- Hacked ! * @(#)Revised by J Leffler (johnl@informix.com) for DBD::Informix v0.25 * * DBD::Informix for Perl Version 5 -- implementation details * ! * Code acceptable to ESQL/C Version 6.0x and later * ! * Copyright (c) 1996,1997 Jonathan Leffler * * You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public * License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file. *************** *** 14,20 **** /*TABSTOP=4*/ #ifndef lint ! static const char sccs[] = "@(#)esqlc_v6.ec 25.4 96/12/02"; #endif #include "Informix.h" --- 15,21 ---- /*TABSTOP=4*/ #ifndef lint ! static const char sccs[] = "@(#)esqlc_v6.ec 50.2 97/02/13 -- Hacked"; #endif #include "Informix.h" *************** *** 50,57 **** if (dbase == (char *)0) { ! dbd_ix_debug(0, "*** BREAKAGE *** Default connection (%s)\n", ! connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO DEFAULT WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; } --- 51,61 ---- if (dbase == (char *)0) { ! /* Not frequently used, but valid */ ! /* Reset connection name to empty string, and connect to default */ ! /* Typically used to create database on default server */ ! *connection = '\0'; ! dbd_ix_debug(1, "CONNECT TO DEFAULT%s\n", connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO DEFAULT WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; } *************** *** 61,67 **** dbname = dbase; dbpass = pass; dbuser = user; ! dbd_ix_debug(2, "CONNECT with user info (%s)\n", connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :dbname AS :dbconn USER :dbuser USING :dbpass WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; --- 65,71 ---- dbname = dbase; dbpass = pass; dbuser = user; ! dbd_ix_debug(1, "CONNECT with user info (%s)\n", connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :dbname AS :dbconn USER :dbuser USING :dbpass WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; *************** *** 70,76 **** { dbconn = connection; dbname = dbase; ! dbd_ix_debug(2, "CONNECT - no user info (%s)\n", connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :dbname AS :dbconn WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; } --- 74,80 ---- { dbconn = connection; dbname = dbase; ! dbd_ix_debug(1, "CONNECT - no user info (%s)\n", connection); EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :dbname AS :dbconn WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; } *************** *** 83,90 **** char *dbconn = connection; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; ! dbd_ix_debug(2, "DISCONNECT (%s)\n", connection); !

This is horribly tricky. I think that the problem is a mismatch between the semi-strictly typed SQL language, and the almost completely untyped Perl language, but you may be able to argue otherwise. The problem is how to represent CHAR(10) strings in Perl? Inside the database, if you insert "" into a CHAR(10) field, the database stores 10 blanks, and when you fetch that data, ESQL/C returns 10 blanks. I felt that the trailing blanks are not significant and arrange to strip them -- this is most frequently the desired behaviour. And I don't make the all-blank field into a special case, so those 10 blanks are returned as the Perl string "". However, there is a problem with what to return to Perl when a NULL string is returned from the database. Perl and DBI does not make provision for SQL-style nulls. So, I chose to return NULL as the Perl string "" too. It is not possible, therefore, to distinguish between an all-blank string and a null string. But all the alternatives also cause problems. Leaving the trailing blanks on will cause confusion if a file name is stored in the database, extracted and not clipped of trailing blanks, for example. I think the existing solution is reasonable, but I'm open to suggestions on how it could be improved. One distinct possibility is to ensure that all blank but non-null strings are returned to Perl as " " rather than "". That'll be OK for ordinary CHAR variables. For VARCHARs, the zero-length string is not the same as the NULL string, and there isn't, therefore, a good fix at all. The data supplied by Perl will probably have to treat the Perl string "" as equivalent to NULL -- I don't see any alternatives for that. Any feedback will be appreciated. I won't hold up the release of DBD::Informix v0.50 for this. >This is on HP-UX 10.20 with Informix Online 7.14, >DBI 0.73 and DBD-Informix 0.25 compiled on the same platform.

Urlwin 02/13/97 10:28 PM There is none, per se. There is an ODBC interface for NT perl (http: //www.roth.net/ODBC/ODBCFAQ.HTM). This work has been steadily advancing and supports more with each release. Since you didn't indicate which database you need, this is probably the best. DBI is not the complete solution, (just as the ODBC driver manager and specification are not a complete solution). You need the DBD for your database in order to make DBI work...

DBDs are available for different RDBMS, also distributed in source code. One thing, to compile them you need the Development Installation of API of the corresponding database.

Second, that's OK that the very DBI doesn't have this method, because PREPARE is a property of the [database] connection (or, to be exect, the database_server connection). In other words: $dbh->prepare, but not DBI->prepare. So, the point is that DBI (and subsequently DBDs) should provide ability to connect to database server w/o speciftying database name.

The primary new feature is the support of multiple connections if you are using ESQL/C 6.00 or later. There is also reasonable support for AutoCommit. The default value for AutoCommit corresponds to the default behaviour of the Informix database - off for MODE ANSI, on for logged, on and cannot be set off for unlogged databases. This code comes with the support for ESQL/C 5.00 and 5.01 which was available as a patch in version 0.25. The build mechanisms are substantially unchanged. If anybody has problems, then I want to know about the problem and, if you have it, the solution. I've not yet been through the code making it consistent with the still (to my mind) nebulous standards for DBD driver writers.

Clarifying what Serge is saying (or maybe just muddying the waters), consider: $dbh = DBI->connect('database','user','password','Informix'); Under Informix ESQL/C 6.00 or later, the DBD::Informix code generates a unique connection name 'connname' and executes: EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'database' AS 'connname' USER 'username' USING 'password' WITH CONCURRENT TRANSACTION; The trouble with this is that Informix does not allow you to execute CREATE DATABASE statements, etc, when a connection is set up like this. If you specify the database field as '@server', then you have connected to a database server, and not to a database, and you can then create a database. You can also create a database if the connection is the default connection, determined by the INFORMIXSERVER environment variable. So far, this has nothing much to do with prepare. Serge is correct in saying that there is no way with DBI of doing: $dbh = DBI->prepare('create database newdbname'); even though the Informix ESQL/C does allow you to write the following even without an explicit CONNECT statement: EXEC SQL PREPARE p_crdb FROM 'create database newdbname'; EXEC SQL EXECUTE p_crdb; This works because the prepare implicitly creates a default connection and the statement is interpreted by the default server. This is not really a mechanism that can or should be supported by DBI, because it is a peculiarity of the Informix software. I've no idea how you go about creating new databases in other products (enlightenment on this would be appreciated), but it is unlikely to be the same as Informix's methods. Tim has suggested that using the following won't work because if the DBI_DBNAME variable is set, the DBI software will put that in place of the empty database name string: $dbh = DBI->connect('','','','Informix'); He is, of course, correct. However, I'd argue that if DBI_DBNAME is not set, then it is reasonable for DBD::Informix to interpret the absence of the name as a request for the default connection. Whether it should also detect some other name as a request for the default connection is open to negotiation -- at the moment, it doesn't. With the newly released version 0.50 code, if the database name seen by the DBD::Informix driver is empty, then a default connection is made, and databases can be created, etc. If you are running the DBD::Informix version 0.50 tests and t/dbase.t fails, it may be because you have DBI_DBNAME set in the environment. To get the test to pass, unset the environment variable. Nothing else in the test suite can be upset by the presence or absence of the DBI_DBNAME environment variable.

The primary new feature is the support of multiple connections if you are using ESQL/C 6.00 or later. There is also reasonable support for AutoCommit. The default value for AutoCommit corresponds to the default behaviour of the Informix database - off for MODE ANSI, on for logged, on and cannot be set off for unlogged databases. This code comes with the support for ESQL/C 5.00 and 5.01 which was available as a patch in version 0.25. The build mechanisms are substantially unchanged. If anybody has problems, then I want to know about the problem and, if you have it, the solution. I've not yet been through the code making it consistent with the still (to my mind) nebulous standards for DBD driver writers.

I did not see any solutions as Try something like: $Oraperl::ora_long = 10000; (it works for me). From the documentation on Oraperl: o $ora_long Normally, Oraperl interrogates the database to determine the length of each field and allocates buffer space accordingly. This is not possible for fields of type LONG or LONGRAW. To allocate space according to the maximum possible length (65535 bytes) would obviously be extremely wasteful of memory. Therefore, when &ora_open() determines that a field is a LONG type, it allocates the amount of space indicated by the $ora_long variable. This is initially set to 80 (for compatibility with Oracle products) but may be set within a program to whatever size is required. --Mike ______________________________________________________________________________ Mike Yasayko, Scientific Programmer, Darwin Molecular Corporation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please visit http://www.fugue.com/dbi.

Especially in the light that some developers are, eg, writing books or other paying software in their already non-existent spare-time which are *paying*. Therefore, the scant resource we have is getting squeezed further. To alleviate the problem, and hopefully get a higher standard of DBI support and documentation, we're looking at several avenues of generating some sort of revenue which will be allocated to developers & writers to help justify spending time on support. Now, this does not imply that we will be failing to support DBI! The survey is just a finger-in-the-air exercise to gather some sort of information. Hence, it's in your best interests to fill the form out with your viewpoints, no matter what they are. Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far. As for the rest of you?

I looked at how the Pracle examples linked (using Sun's cc of course) and they seemed to use pic (position independent code). I tried the gcc version of this and the tests started working sporadically. Sometimes a core dump happened on the logon. sometimes later on in the tests and sometimes never at all. I am confused here. I'm guessing that I am missing some compiler options, but have no idea which - I tried the -fpcc-struct-return option as suggested for another package with no effect.

Probably not, since RDBMS generally do more per transaction. However, they do allow more complex data structures, which is always a bonus. ``Heavy-duty'' RDBMS such as Oracle or Informix implement complex locking procedures on transactions, whereas mSQL does not. mSQL operates on a transactional queue basis, rather than simultaneous transactions. However, there is a multi-threaded mSQL called mySQL which you could try out.
