DBD::Oracle on HPUX _9_ has to be built using static linking (I'm told).
Read the README (as instructed) and the log of the Makefile.PL for details.

Basically you need to install the new perl binary that got built
(it has the DBD::Oracle modules embedded within it).

Subject: Another memory leak??

Can someone confirm this memory leak and provide a fix. I just
don't know dbd/dbi at this level :-(. The leak is approximately one
memory page per 8 cyles and only happens with ora_titles, ora_lengths or
ora_types is called.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have successfully installed the DBI and DBD in the oracle server but it
seems to give a small problem.

When I do "make test" it does everything properly except in the end it
gives "Bus error (Core dump)".

I wrote a sample program which just installs the driver, connects to the
server database, disconnets and exists.

It gives the same problem here too.

Can I send the "server" name as the first parameter to the data base
"connect" cuntion?

If you can help me regarding this problem it will be very helpful for me.

Thanking you.

This release mainly consolidates some patches.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.31 (Oraperl 1.25), 20th May 1996

Makefile.PL for HP-UX now defaults to dynamic for hpux >= 10.

execute (ora_bind/ora_do) now returns undef on error or the
number of rows affected (0 is returned as 0E0, hence true, for
okay but no rows affected or no row count available/applicable).
This matches the oraperl version 2.4 behaviour.

Made an attempt at supporting Oracle 7.3 (e.g. include's in proc.mk)
Please let me know if it works (else supply patches to fix it :-)

Fixed small memory leak in ora_titles etc functions.

Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk. May take a day or so to get to PAUSE+CPAN.

A warning! The Hermetica pages will be in transit on either Tuesday or
Wednesday ( 21-22/05/96 ). There's a mailing list archive backlog waiting
to get added, which'll get done once the move is complete.

So!

If you get any weirder than normal messages about stuff gone missing, don't
worry unduly and try again a wee while later.

Thanks for the clear message and simple test case.

Here's the patch... *just* in time for DBD::Oracle 0.31.

*** 1.16 1996/05/20 21:29:58

return Nullsv;
}
if (cacheit) { /* cache for next time (via DBI quick_FETCH) */
! hv_store((HV*)SvRV(sth), key, kl, retsv, 0);
(void)SvREFCNT_inc(retsv); /* so sv_2mortal won't free it */
}
return sv_2mortal(retsv);
--- 903,911 ----
return Nullsv;
}
if (cacheit) { /* cache for next time (via DBI quick_FETCH) */

! sv_free(*svp);
! *svp = retsv;
(void)SvREFCNT_inc(retsv); /* so sv_2mortal won't free it */
}
return sv_2mortal(retsv);

Phew! 30 minute turn around from leak report to patch. Must be a record.

(I'd forgotten that hv_store doesn't increment the refcount of the stored SV.)

I don't know of an implementation of either Oraperl or DBI/DBD for Win95.
I believe that Oraperl has been compiled under Windows NT, but I don't
know where it's available. If you can't find it in ftp.demon.co.uk, then
it probably doesn't exist.

I'll CC this to the DBI users' list in case someone knows of a solution.

I've been trying to get DBD-Informix to work with unsuccessful results. I
can't seem to get past the compilation stage. Perl 5.002 works fine, DBI
compiles and seems to be okay, but DBD-Informix, no go. Here is a little
debug output:

Any ideas on this one?

Looks to be a problem with a symbol not being found.

I've used SUN's Pro C compiler to do all the perl compiles.

Hello !

I am having some problem in compiling the DBD-> Makefile.PL.
There is absolutely no problem with the DBI installation.

When I say "perl Makefile.PL", I am getting the following messages :-

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuring DBD::Oracle ...

Remember to actually read the README file!

Using Oracle in /usr/local/oracle
Oracle sysliblist: -lsocket -lnsl -lm -ldl -laio
Unable to locate proc.mk (use -m /path/to/proc.mk to specify)
======================================================================

Is there any restriction on the version of Oracle. We are using Oracle
7.0 and I searched for this "proc.mk" and it was not found.

Will this fault in compilation lead to core dump or bus error?

Because, I was able to compile Makefile.PL using some other alternative
but the "make test.pl" gives a core dump at the end before the Perl
program exits.

Can u please find what the problem is let me know of the version of
Oracle I am supposed to use with DBI v0.69 and DBD v0.29?

Thanking U all.

X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0

Hello,

I just started working on the Perl Interface just couple of days back. I
downloaded the software (Interface and the driver) from the site and
installed it. I didn't have any problem installing the DBI modules and
the things were absolutely smooth but DBD : Makefile.PL seems to be
giving problems.

Is there any constraint in using the version of Oracle for DBI ver 0.69
and DBD 0.29. Because the Makefile.PL searches for a particular file
called "proc.mk" in the Oracle path and its not getting it. I am using
Oracle 7.0.

Moreover, I tried some other alternative and installed DBD to the server
but then the "make test" fails giving a "Bus error (core dump)".

The interface functions are properly called in the Perl script but just
before the exit function it gives a core dump.

If u have any suggestion or solution to this problem u are welcome.

Thanking u in anticipation.

Ramesh

A version of Oraperl (perl 4.036 for NT) patched for Oracle 7.x, which
I have successfully used against Oracle 7.2 on NT is available in the
Oracle FAQ archives. You can get it from:
ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/Oracle/OS/MS/NT/ntoraperl.zip

I am expecting someone to send a perl5/DBI Oracle to me to the archives,
but he has had some personal problems.

If anyone has made up a copy of oraperl for 95, or DBI/Oracle/perl5 for
NT or 95, could you please send them to me and I can make them available
in the archives as well. I'm flat out working at my REAL job, preparing
for another major rework of the FAQ (http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/OracleFAQ),
and have Buckley's of making up a version for you all - mainly because
I won't be getting a recent MSVC--.

You can place them in ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/incoming/oracle and
mail me to let me know its coming. Alternatively, mail it in uuencoded
form.

My mail address (for Oracle FAQ stuff) is [email protected]

I've also put a quick cut of a CGI script I find useful using oraperl
and hip perl-32 to document tables:

ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/Oracle/sources/web/scripts/tbldef.zip

I'm no perl guru, but it works even with EMWAC https.
