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

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

Changes in DBI 0.70, 16 June 1996
Added extra invalid handle check (dbih_getcom)
Fixed broken $dbh->quote method.
Added check for old GCC in Makefile.PL
This is a minor release of the DBI but the next release of
DBD::Oracle will require it so DBD::Oracle users might as well
get it now.
The 'extra invalid handle check' will make non-'safe mode' Oraperl
usage much less likely to core dump (you'll get an "Invalid DBI handle"
croak instead).
I've uploaded it to ftp.demon.co.uk. It'll float round to CPAN
sites via PAUSE over the next few days.
Tim.

Mr. Bunce:
During the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to do some funky stuff with
Oraperl, and I am not sure if it can be done. I am hoping that you can shed some
light on my problems and help me get unstuck.
In one situation, I am calling a stored pl/sql procedure (or function) that is
stored within an Oracle database. I do this by using the &ora_open command. The
problem lies in that I would like the stored pl/sql procedure to return a value
(i.e. return code) to a variable within the Oraperl script, to be used elsewhere
within the Oraperl script. Is this feasible? Or am I just dreaming.
In another situation, I am trying to run Oracle reports 2.5 (motif) from the
command line within a Oraperl script. This I can accomplish easily with a
straight unix script, however I am trying to use Oraperl. I use the &ora_login
command and then call the Oracle reports runtime by using the system command
(i.e. system(r25runm ...)). This results in a "REP-0001 Unable to access message
sub-system" error. Any idea on how to resolve this? It has been noted, that
the environment variable TWO-TASK gets deleted during the running of an
Oraperl script. I wonder if this could be the cause.
Well that's the problems that I'm trying to overcome, and any help what so ever
would be greatly appreciated. If need be, I would be willing to give you a call
in order to further discuss this.
Thanks,

Subject: Urgent survey for Oracle 7.3 users of DBD::Oracle
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424
The number of Oracle 7.3 users with DBD::Oracle build problems
is growing. To help me resolve these I need some information...
*Only* if you have *successfully* built and tested DBD::Oracle
please send a short email message to me (only me) detailing:
- Exact Oracle version number (7.3.x.y... etc).
- Exact Pro*C version number (2.1.x.y... etc).
- Details of any changes to DBD::Oracle you _needed_ to
make in order to get it to build.
Thanks. Please don't expect a personal reply, I'm too busy. Sorry.
Tim.
p.s. You can get the version numbers from the unix.prd file which should
be in your oracle installation tree (top level or orainst directory).
p.p.s. I may ask some people to send in their Oracle *.mk files later
but please _don't_ send them yet.

Subject: DBD::Ingres development?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Hi there.
I am looking for a tool to make a web-to-Ingres (and maybe some other dbms)
cgi-bin interface. As I read the notes on IngPerl, I found the advice to look
for the coming "standard" for perl5, DBperl, to avoid writing lots of "non
standard" code before its release.
Is DBI the "standard DBperl" I am looking for? (or close enough to use?)
If so,can I expect to find an Ingres module available in the near future?
> DBD::Ingres
> Module Name: DBD::Ingres
> Author: Tim Bunce
> Current Version: Not yet released - Under development
Would I waste my time if I started using IngPerl now (waiting for DBD::Ingres),
or is it "compatible" with DBI?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, Keith:
No, it is not possible to do this.
You *could* execute multiple PL/SQL statements in an anonymous PL/SQL block,
but this would not return a result set. Each distinct SELECT must be separately
prepared.
Regards,
Gary

G'day all
Apologies if this is an old one:
I'm trying to INSERT a large LONG into Oracle using &ora_open() and
&ora_bind(), and it's being truncated after $ora_long chars.
I'm happily using $csr->blob_read() to read the LONG. Is there an
equivalent "blob_insert()" technique, or must I modify $ora_long each
time I want to insert a LONG?
Many thanks
Richard.

I have a core file, but alas, no gdb available at the moment to read

Peter,
A site I set up for a friend was done like this:
1: His original data was in an Access database so we export that to
a colon seperated text file.
2: I wrote a perl script to search through the data, recording
matches.
3: I then built a cgi based request form so that people could chose
from the given criteria and then search the base. I then generated a
reply page.
This system worked really well until the database exceeded 800-900
records. It then became a muscle problem and the interface was just too
slow. The best part about this though, is that there are enough
templates/examples and what have you out in the web that it is fairly
easy to figure out what needs to be done. We kept the database updated by
exporting a new database file at the end of the business day and
transfering it to the unix host.

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

Try echo '$c' | adb /usr/local/bin/perl core
You might need to do a 'make perl' and then './perl testscript.pl'
then echo '$c' | adb ./perl core get adb to give you something useful.

ora_long is not involved in binding. It must be something else.
Look deeper.

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

I'm not an adb user, so I don't know if the above is useful. I'd like
to hold off rebuilding perl since this is not the system where our
full perl build was originally done. I'm pulling down gdb now to see
if it has anything interesting to say.

It's almost certainly not an oracle problem.

That's okay (but I'd recommend upgrading gcc to a non *.0 version).

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

No. (At least not in my code.)

I presume you're saying that it works and does _not_ get an invalid
handle error. That would be rather strange.

It trades safety for speed by bypassing the DBI. Until someone does some
useful benchmarking I don't know how much.

I don't know. I'd welcome more concrete information if/when you get any.
I think I'll release the next DBD::Oracle with safe (e.g., normal) mode
as the default. At least it'll cut down my work load in the short term :-)
Tim.

Subject: HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 1996 11:20:57 -0700
From: Ted Lemon <
[email protected]>
Douglas, when you want to unsubscribe from 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
[email protected], the mailing list name is
dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the
-request address is
[email protected]. If you wanted to
unsubscribe to, e.g.,
[email protected], you would send mail to
[email protected].
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.

You don't need to 'rebuild perl' as such. Just say 'make perl' in the
DBD::Oracle directory.

Thanks.
I'll send you an updated Makefile.PL in a seperate message. It'll let
you say perl Makefile.PL -g to enable 'proper' debugging and more
informative stack traces.

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

This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols

Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.

With Oracle 7.3.2, Solaris 2.4, Perl 5.002, DBD 0.32, DBI 0.70
I now get:
Bad free() ignored during global destruction.
On exit from scripts. Otherwise clean build "out of the box".
Passes all tests, and everything else I've tried works.
I've seen discussion of the bad free() problem before,
but can't find any resolution to it in old mail.
Any ideas?

Subject: Garbage Collection bug in Oraperl
Is there a URL or ftp file somewhere that lists known bugs?
The only thing I know about is the DBD link on the DBI home page.
I've run into a bug in Oraperl and it's not listed on that DBD page.
Basically, I get an array back from ora_fetch, assign an
array reference to it, and then try to refer to that
reference after exiting a block. Turns out that the
array has been garbage collected when I exit the block.
If I copy the array inside the block and make a reference
to the copy, then I can refer to the array outside the block.
I tried the
BEGIN { $Oraperl::safe = 1 }
modification since it was being discussed, but this did
not fix my bug.
Make a copy is an easy workaround, but it took some time
to figure out what was going on.
Here's some details:
The following code generates the output given after it:
while(@row = &ora_fetch($c2)) {
$row_ref = \@row;
print "row_ref (inside) = $$row_ref[1]\n";
}
print "row_ref (outside) = $$row_ref[1]\n";
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
Use of uninitialized value at j.perl line 86.
row_ref (outside) =
(where line 86 is the line that prints "row_ref (outside)"
When I modify the code, I get what I expected (ie: my array ref works):
while(@row = &ora_fetch($c2)) {
# Make a copy of row
@row_copy = @row;
$row_ref = \@row_copy;
print "row_ref (inside) = $$row_ref[1]\n";
}
print "row_ref (outside) = $$row_ref[1]\n";
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
row_ref (inside) = 18-JUN-96
row_ref (outside) = 18-JUN-96

I'm having an unusual error which may or may not be new and unique

It seems that libc is failing when I run the tests:

This is not an unusual error. As far as I know, no one has gotten OraPerl to
compile for Solaris 2.5 and Oracle 7.3.2. We all keep coming back to this
same problem with the mutex!
Tim Bunce is working on a solution.

Dear Sir:
In PRO*C, you can access database using SQL*NET As the following
statement:
EXEC SQL CONNECT :username IDENTIFIED BY :password
USING :db_string1.
Does any one can help do the same thing in perl?
Thanks.

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

Sorry, sometimes I forget you're not a mind reader. Or maybe
you are, but there's nothing on this end to read.
"Since" meant since install of 0.32/0.70 on 7.3.
I jumped to there from 0.29/0.68 on 7.2.3.
I thought I'd wait out the 7.3 build problems, though it turned
out I didn't have any.

I don't have DEBUGGING in perl at the moment. I'll do this when
I get a few minutes later this week.
I did set DBI debugging and got this. Does not say a heck of a lot
more however.

"Now" being since when? What changed?
What's the smallest script which has the problem?

This'll probably suppress it:
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn $_[0] unless $_[0] =~ /Bad free/ };
but this would be more useful to me:
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { $_[0] =~ /Bad free/ ? dump : warn $_[0] };
:-)

Okay, I've been working on this long enough that I had remembered trying this
and it not working, but I didn't remember _how_ it was not working. One of
the problems was that I forgot I had to export the variable in ksh. The other
problem was that, after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it just dumps core.
Assuming the library problem is resolved by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and this
is a new problem, I'll give the new details...
Again, any input would be appreciated.

Hi All,
As you can gather from the title I'm having a few problems with the =
Oracle 0.32 driver. I've enclosed below the output of the build processes =
as requested in the README. I've been trying for the last few days now, =
but I have'nt managed to get any further than the test phase. I'm getting =
pestered by my manager now, so I would be very grateful if you could find =
the time to look at these and point me in the right direction or give me =
some clues as to what I should look at.
Please note, in spite of what it may say in the header my real e-mail =
address is
[email protected].
Many thanks
Greg

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

Uncomment the following line in test.pl:
$dbname = $ARGV[0]; # $ENV{TWO_TASK} || $ENV{ORACLE_SID} || 'crgs';
make it:
$dbname = $ARGV[0] || $ENV{TWO_TASK} || $ENV{ORACLE_SID} || 'crgs';
It will fix it...

Please try each seperately and let me know how it goes.

p.s. I've only received _two_ replies to my Oracle 7.3 survey.
Please help me to help you. If you're using DBD::Oracle on 7.3
and it works please send me your details.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
$drh = DBI->install_driver('Oracle') || die "$DBI::errstr\n";
But adding:
$dbh = $drh->connect("", "$cs", '') || die "$DBI::errstr\n";
causes the bad free.

Can you reply with the messages your search found?
I've CC'd this to perl5-porters incase someone there can shed any light.

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

Is that _really_ the smallest?
Do you _have_ to fetch?
Do you _have_ to execute?
Do you _have_ to prepare?
etc etc.

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

NOTE: This is primarily a release aimed a fixing *some* of the
Oracle 7.3 problems of late. Do not upgrade to this version unless
you have an existing build or core dump problem with DBD::Oracle.
Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.33 (Oraperl 1.27), 19th June 1996
Added Makefile.PL -g option to enable debugging.
Added Makefile.PL -s symbol_name option to search for symbols.
Added README notes about -g option, core files and stack traces.
Reorganised the way Makefile.PL uses MakeMaker liblist code.
Oraperl defaults to the 'safe' (normal) mode of using the DBI.
Oraperl uses sigtrap on SEGV & BUS to give a perl stack trace.
Small change to $dbname/$user/$passwd logic in connect.
This release should fix the libclntsh.so not found problem.
It _may_ also fix others (but more by luck than judgement).
It's been uploaded (63875 bytes) to
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBD/Oracle/DBD-Oracle-0.33.tar.Z
and should find it's way to CPAN via PAUSE over the next day or so.

So Tim has pushed out yet another version of the Oracle DBD .... so time
to give it a try.
Got one small problem with the new?? code in Oraperl.pm ....
> $SIG{BUS} = $SIG{SEGV} = sub {
> print STDERR "Add BEGIN { \$Oraperl::safe=1 } above 'use Oraperl'.\n"

which you can see (if you have good eyes) in the make test.

Looks good
Warning: By default new modules are installed into your 'site_lib'

directories you must delete any old DBD::Oracle files and directories from
your 'privlib' and 'archlib' directories and their auto subdirectories.

Fetch DBD::Oracle 0.33 and do
perl Makefile.PL -s sslsig
you should see something like:
Using Oracle in /home/oracle/product/7.1.4

Which shows that it's defined in libcore.a and libcore3.a. Since you
link to core3 right at the end of the oracle library list I can't see
what's wrong.
Are you using sun's ld or gnu's?
Does a 'make perl' (in the DBD::Oracle directory) produce a working perl
with DBD::Oracle built in?
Anyway, see if 0.33 works better for you.
Tim.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Am attempting to build DBD::Oracle for subject platform. Found and
corrected following in Makefile.PL:
1. proc.mk has moved, new dir is: $OH/precomp/demo/proc/proc.mk
Found but not figured out in Makefile.PL:
1. How to fix problem in fetch_oci_macros() in Makefile.PL: Line 260,
$MK{mkver} never assigned a value. Leads me to believe that the file
proc.mk has changed. My knowledge of perl is not extensive enough to
get me much further soon. Will continue to hack though. Suspect expert
in perl and proc.mk could fix this quick. If copyrights not a problem,
would be glad to send you copies of proc.mk and env_precomp.mk (included
in proc.mk).
2. Can not find file libocic.a in $OH/lib or anywhere else in my
installation. Currently have version 2.2.2.0.0 of Pro*C installed.
Using newly compiled and tested latest version of Perl (5.002).

Either.
I remade perl with debugging, and re-ran my test script, and it
now gives:
Duplicate free() ignored during global destruction.

Hello
Does the DBD-Oracle/Perl interface handle hints. Within Oracle it is
possible to use the following syntax
select /*+ index(<table> <index>) */
<cols>
from <table>
where <pk col> = <val>
to force the RDBMS to perform an indexed table scan, rather than a
full table scan. Within Sqlplus, this feature allows one of my queries
to return within 3s, but without it the query takes over 8s.
However, when I use this feature within dbperl (Per 5.002, DBI-0.69,
DBD-Oracle-0.32) I see no appreciable benefit.

Hints are a server feature, not a client spec, so i do not see why it does not
work... (unless DBI/DBD strips comments...)
Note that oracle will ignore the hint if there is a syntax error.
To convince yourseld that the hint is passed to the server, just set sql_trace
to true and look at the trace file.

Subject: Problem with Oracle DBD 0.32 on Solaris 2.4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi all,
Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem? I recently installed
DBI/OracleDBD on a Solaris 2.4 machine. The DBI works fine, but
the DBD fails the test with "rmutex_unlock: mutex not held"
(core dump) I ran it in the exact same environment as I run SQLPLUS,
FYI. I searched the net and saw what looked like a solution --
someone said it was a solaris thread problem and if you just
rebuilt perl5 with libthread linked in, it would fix it, but
it didn't. I believe I'm running Oracle 7.3.2.
Thanks,
-Ray

That's interesting. So a failing connect is sufficient.

Please try a $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { dump if $_[0] =~ /free/ }

Oh well. That one's not very helpful. Sigh. Still kind'a looks like oracle.
At some point in the next month or so I'll have the time to install
and use the copy of Purify I have sitting on my desk.

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

The README in 0.33 documents a way to suppress the message.
The README in 0.34 will have extra instructions like this:
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:
...
5. 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
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle 7.3 on Solaris 2.5 (maybe others):
libc internal error: _rmutex_unlock: rmutex not held.
- Try passing explicit db sid name to ora_login or connect.
- Try removing clntsh from the list of libraries to link to (edit Makefile).
- Try adding -lthread to the list of libraries to link to (edit Makefile).
If any of these work please let me know (include full version info).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad free() warnings:
These are generally cause by problems in Oracle's own library code.
You can use this code to hide them:
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn $_[0] unless $_[0] =~ /^Bad free/ }
But please let me know if you have this problem (include full version info).
Rather than simply hiding it it would be much better to help me fix it!
Follow the instructions in step 5 above (for generating a version of
DBD::Oracle with debugging enabled) and then use the following code
to generate a core dump at the point the bad free happens.
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { $_[0] =~ /^Bad free/ ? dump : warn $_[0] }
Follow the instructions in step 5 above for getting a stack trace from
the core file and then send it to me along with the other information
requested in the 'If you have problems' section.

There are gzip'd tar files in the Perl DB archive which cover just about
everything:
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBI/perldb-interest/
It starts on 16 Oct 1992. It totals over 2Mb _gzipped_!
I think there's a WWW archive somewhere but I can't remember where.
It'll probably be listed at
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI.

Good news. Thanks.

Please try *not* rebuilding perl with -lthread (use a standard perl)
but add -lthread to the DBD::Oracle Makefile. I don't know if it
will help but it would certainly make life *much* easier for people
if it did. If you try this please double check that you're not using
the perl binary with -lthread.

Anyone want to bet that Oracle don't use Purify, or a similar tool? Sigh.

That's:
sub ora_open {
my($lda, $stmt, $cache) = @_;
==> my $csr = $lda->prepare($stmt) or return undef;
so please check that the ora_login succeeded and returned a handle.
I suspect it failed but your didn't catch it and print the error message.
Tim.

Interesting... a search for _lrw_unlock found it in... /usr/lib/libthread.so!
Same for _sigon.
Without a better stack trace (e.g., from GDB with perl and DBD::Oracle built
with -g) I can't tell what the 5 deeper functions are and thus who is
really responsible. The lack of symbols implies a dynamically loaded
function. The libthread implication is interesting.
Did you rebuild perl with -lthread, DBD::Oracle with -lthread or neither?
Tim.

There are gzip'd tar files in the Perl DB archive which cover just about
everything:
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/DBI/perldb-interest/
It starts on 16 Oct 1992. It totals over 2Mb _gzipped_!
I think there's a WWW archive somewhere but I can't remember where.
It'll probably be listed at

I answered this mail once already, so if you see this twice, I'm sorry! My
mail reader crashed when I sent it, so I'm not sure if it ever went out.

I'll leave this to other people trying to install DBD::Oracle because I don't
want to reinstall stuff now that it works! And I'd like not to drive the sys
admin too nuts (maybe he'll give me root and then I could do it?)

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

Hi,
I tried to link DBD-Oracle-0.32 on a HP/UX 9.05 using Oracle 7.1.6,
DBI-0.69 and Perl 5.002. Unfortunately I got an error while linking and a list
of unresolved symbols. But, so far I can see, this searched functions are
included in the Oracle libs. This is a problem, which I earlier also saw
with Oraperl.
Is there someone who has experience building DBD on a HP and can tell me
how to manage this problem?
Thank you in advance
Harald Falkenberg

I had the hardest time getting past the mutex error.
This is what finally worked for me. Using DBD-Oracle-0.33 and DBI-0.70.
After running "perl Makefile.PL" the -lthread was already in the
Makefile. I replaced all "-lthread" with "-mt". I did this as a test
because of Solaris bug #1224467 (found in the Installation Notes for
Solaris 2.5). This is what it says:
"If you use -lthread, your program can cause a core dump.
If you have a C++ program that uses threads, do not use -lthread to link
the program.
Workaround: Use the -mt option to compile and link your application.
Using this option ensures that libthread is linked in the correct
order."
I still have the "Bad free() ignored during global destruction." error.
Later,
James

Neither. The perl installation is all defaults, except for debugging,
and the DBD::DBI builds are: 'perl Makefile.pl; make; make install'

No problem. But didn't your ld complain about the -mt flag?
Umm, perhaps it read it as -m & -t (both valid flags).
Could you retry (make clean etc) with _just_ removing -lthread.
That way we'd know for sure.
Once I hear confirmation from you I'll make another DBD::Oracle
release with that workaround in it.
Meanwhile others with the _rmutex_unlock problem might like
to try the same thing (edit Makefile and delete all instances
of -lthread).
Tim.

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

You know, since my ld DOESN'T HAVE a -mt option, all this really did was
to remove all occurences of -lthread from the Makefile!
However, this seems to work. So, my fix is to remove -lthread from the
Makefile and, for whatever reason, the rmutex error and core dump is
gone. Bad free() is still there.
Sorry for the error,
James

Hi Tim
I was wondering about the availability of the driver for Ingres. I have a
project rapidly approaching and I'm going to have to use University
Ingres :(
Even if it were in really rough form, it would still be a huge help. I
promise not to bother you with bug reports (unless you want them)
Thanks a lot.
Chris

Your change was almost perfect. Here's my 'oficial' patch (which I'll
include in the next release).

The mSQL driver isn't supplying it own quote method so you're getting
the inherited default (SQL92) method that the DBI supplies.
The mSQL driver needs fixing.

Okay, sorry it took awhile to respond. Had to find a debugger that handled ELF
correctly. I installed both the new version of the DBI (0.70) and DBD::Oracle

Subject: DBD-Oracle bad free() error and web scripts
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I have just gotten DBI&DBD working with Oracle. Am running HPUX
10.01,perl 5.002, DBI 0.69 and DBD::Oracle 0.32. All works well except
that I see a "Bad free() ignored during global destruction" error when
the script terminates. I have seen oblique references to this problem
in the 2 days I've been on the mailing list but no real answers. This
situation will cause problems with my cgi-bin scripts unless I fix it or
I find a way to trash the error message and not send it to the www
server. Also, is there an archive of this mailing list somewhere that I
could get and comb thru old messages? Thanks, Bill Rodgers, Sirius

Very true. I'll put it on the ToDo list, unless anyone fancies supplying
a patch? (hint)

Subject: How to specify TNS string for Oracle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I am using DBI/DBD-Oracle (downloaded a week ago).
My problem is how to access a database using the
TNS string as in
user/passwd@TNS_string
I have no problem connecting to local databases using:
&ora_login ("TEST", "my_id/my_passwd", ' ');
where TEST is a local database.
I would like to say
&ora_login ('', 'my_id/
[email protected]', '');
or
&ora_login ('PROD.aix2.com', 'my_id/mypasswd', ' ');
or something similar.
Needless to say, I have tried as many variations as I could
but nothing seems to work. I tried setting ORACLE_SID and
TWO_TASK and it either doesn't work or I did it wrong.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
Richard

Well, we don't have 7.3.x yet, so I cannot try the threading, but that
should be 'cc' instead of 'ld'. From 'cc -flags':
[ ... ]
-mt Specify options needed when compiling multi-threaded code
[ ... ]
Sun wants 'cc' to be called as the linker, and it will pass the appropriate
-l<lib> commands to 'ld' to get threading done 'right' whatever their
definition of 'right' may be today.

Thanks. Someone else did awhile ago (a few months maybe) but I've
heard nothing since (hence CC'ing this to dbi-users).

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

Thanks. This sounds like a good solution but it also sounds like
it's specific to sun's own C compiler (the ld linker doesn't have
a -mt option). Can you get the compiler to show you what args it's
passing to the linker with and without -mt? That way I might be able
to replicate the change via Makefile.PL.
Can someone see if Sun have generated a patch for this bug yet?

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

The trace I did looks like it's the thread libraries that are having problems.

I don't know if this may be part of the problem, but gcc has no -mt option, and
I'm not sure what the 'correct order' would be for linking with -lthread. If
anyone has the Sunsoft C++ compiler docs running around and can ''reveal the
truth' about -mt, I'd appreciate it.

Subject: Announce: DBD::Oracle 0.34
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424
Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.34 (Oraperl 1.28), 21st June 1996
Workaround Solaris 2 bug #1224467 (_rmutex_unlock).
With many thanks to James Taylor.
Further additions to the README about Bad free()'s.
Added 'Bad free()' warning suppression to ora_logon and
ora_logoff(). Setting the DBD_DUMP environment variable
will trigger a (handy for me) core dump if a Bad free
warning is detected.
This version is recommended for those using Solaris 2.5 and/or
Oracle 7.3. Others are welcome to try it. It should be stable.
Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual (64825 bytes).
On CPAN in a day or two.
Tim [hoping this release brings some peace!]

Very odd true, but not a DBD::Oracle problem. Thankfully!

DBD:Oracle 0.34 (just released) simply deletes -lthread from the library
list if building on a Solaris 2.5 system. Try that.

Fixed broken Solaris 2.5 check in Makefile.PL.
Added ld path to the log.
A one char typo (osver instead of osvers) means that the
Solaris 2.5 test in verson 0.34 won't work. Sigh.
Fixed in this release.

Subject: Accessing Oracle from another machine
Message-ID: <
[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Hello,
I know this answer has been answered in the past, but I've never quite
understood the process.
I have Oracle on a machine named yoda.
I have a web server with a CGI script that needs access to yoda's data
(server name is busboy).
Since busboy does not run Oracle, it does not have the SQL*NET installed.
It's actually running a different OS than yoda.
Can I use DBI in a CGI script on busboy to talk to Oracle on yoda? I
realize that compiling DBD::Oracle requires the Oracle libraries, so I'm
pretty sure I'm out of luck (since I don't have libraries for busboy).
Thanks

From 'man -s 1 CC' (SPARCompiler C++ 4.1/Solaris 2.5):
-mt (Solaris 2.x) Compiles and links a multithreaded pro-
gram, and passes - D_REENTRANT to the preprocessor.
Passed to ld is the command:
-lsunmath_mt -lm -lC -lw -lthread -lcx -lc
instead of:
-lsunmath -lm -lC -lC_mtstubs -lw -lcx -lc
Note: Use this option, rather than - lthread, to link
with libthread to ensure proper library linking order.
Hope this helps,
John

Please read the README (as Makefile.PL asked you to) and send all
the information it says you should include in problem reports.

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

Connecting to oracle takes lot of time. I am working on a web

this to be really slow.. Is there any posibility to speed up the
connecting process.

Subject: Closed connections
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I have an Oracle connection used for retrieving data that may be kept
open for a long period of time, as in several days. If the database
happens to go down and be brought back up during that time, it looks
like any attempted operations on the connection return either
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
or ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
So I can then close the connection and re-open it, and things work fine.
In fact, I can even do a `dummy' operation (like SELECT SYSDATE FROM
DUAL) to see if the connection is still open, before doing any `real'
retrievals.
My question is: is there a better or more `approved' way to find out if
an Oracle connection is still really connected to the database?
Later,
Rujith.

Database connections are always going to be a source of time delay and
overhead. Write a daemon to accept SQL statements from your CGI. You can also
look at Doug MacEachern's Apache modules (
http://www.osf.org/~dougm/apache/)
which embeds the Perl interpretter into Apache. Finally, take a look at the
mail archive for this list (somewhere under
http://www.hermetica.com/technologi
a/DBI/) -- this is a recurring thread.

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

Hello,
I realize that Alligator just updated some of the hypermail archives for
this list, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I've got another
one setup at this URL:
http://www.coe.missouri.edu/~faq/lists/dbiusers/
It has a searchable index that re-indexes 3 times a week. I've put the
last month or so in, and it's updating itself each time a new message is
posted to the list (thanks to procmail)
I don't mean to step on any toes here, but I did this mainly so I could
quickly search what others have posted before repeating the same question.
I figured others may find this useful as well (would also help Tim ward
off the 10+ posts a week from people who can't figure out how to compile
DBI :-)
Thanks
-- James
BTW, I'm doing this for a few other lists as well, such as mod_perl,
postgres95, and fastcgi. There're at the same location (just knock off
the dbiusers in the url)

Douglas, when you want to unsubscribe from 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
[email protected], the mailing list name is
dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the
-request address is
[email protected]. If you wanted to
unsubscribe to, e.g.,
[email protected], you would send mail to
[email protected].
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.

That's a ridiculous amount. What does one "incoming request" 'do' that
would involve 150K of memory? Is that approximately how much data is
returned by the query(s)? How many queries are there per incoming request?

Take that code and add the line

Not really a surprise. Life gets better for Oracle 7.3 but otherwise
you should probably link statically where memory usage and/or startup
time are critical.

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

I agree.
> What does one "incoming request" 'do' that
> would involve 150K of memory?
Really no idea. A request is one line of numbers representing
time intervals. A response sends backs all data retrieved from a single
table which fall into these intervals.
> Is that approximately how much data is
> returned by the query(s)?
No, an amount of data returned varies. In limit cases it may range
from 0 (plus small identifying header not coming from a database)
to around 1 Meg in practice (in theory this is limited only by a size
of the table in question).
> How many queries are there per incoming request?
One, but repeated as many times in a loop a number of time intervals
present (typically five).

Ok, I will try that, although the biggest visible differences are
in a code which handles sockets.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that and we will see.

Aligator, can you add this (prominently) to your DBI pages?

Yup, the hypermail archive is permanently moving from Hermetica as soon
as I get the nod from James that he's got all the old stuff I've sent him
fully online. Takes a lot of weight off Hermetica's server, and frees me up
a bit to get on with squashing bugs and writing the damn FAQ.

Subject: How do you tell the difference between 0 rows modifed and an error?
I've read
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/ a dozen time and
either I'm blind or it doesn't say it.
In execute(), how do you tell the difference between an error and
zero rows modifed.
What I would expect is that with an error, the return code should
be undef and with zero rows selected/modified/deleted, etc, it
should be 0.
As far as I can tell, the documentation doesn't say.
Is there some other way to tell? Look at $DBI::errstr perhaps?
Thanks,
-Dave
P.S. I wrote a DBD for a mSQL-like database that a friend of mine
wrote. He hasn't released the database yet so there's no point in
me releasing the DBD either. Besides it's mostly a copy of DBD-mSQL.

Any suggestions?
I am trying to build a web interface to an Ingres database. I know that =
the Ingres extension for DBperl is not out yet. Is there anything else =
for Perl5 or should I just use Perl4 and ingperl? Any feedback is =
appreciated.

Very close:
error = undef (false)
0 = 0E0 (zero but true)
1 = 1 (true)

Does anyone know of the problems associated with using ingperl under =
Perl5? I'm running Perl5 but need inperl and do not want to move back =
to Perl4. Can it be done without problems? Any responses appreciated?

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

A couple of questions:
Is DBperl by itself able to communicate with Ingres and other databases =
or are database specific modules absolutely necessary?
Basically, is my only option if I want to write Perl scripts for an =
Ingres database to use Perl4 and ingperl? or can I use some other =
combination the uses Perl5?
Thanks,
Fernando

Here Is what I'm getting and as I'm new to this little of it makes sence to me so any help would be
appreciated. I was having trouble using the standard cc that came with Irix so I got and made gcc and

a Pro C problem.... Lemme know what ya think...

Subject: Perl5, Oraperl Emulation problem
X-Url:
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/DBD/index.html#Oracle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello,
I apologize if this problem is not relevant to this list.
I recently upgraded from Oracle 7.0.16 to 7.2.3 using
Perl 5 and Oraperl Emulation. It worked fine under 7.0.16
but now I am having problems - inconsistently.
I have some scripts that work always and some that hang
for a minute - always - and then fall thru sucessfully ...
no errors - no warnings - just SLOW success.
I am setting ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID and using
those in my ora_login function.
I've found a few messages with a similar problem - but no
solution yet.
Any ideas or a direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have problems to link DBD on a HP/UX with the OS 9.05. I tried it several
times with dynamic and static link options (LINKTYPE=...), but it failed.
For some reasons, some functions are not found at link time.
I append my full log to this mail. If someone has an idea or has already
solved this problem - please give me an answer.
regards

Remember to actually *read* the README file!
Build, TEST and INSTALL Perl 5 first. Use version 5.002beta2 or later.
DO NOT build the DBI under the Perl source tree.
Use 'make test' to execute self tests.
Install DBI (using 'make install' before building DBD::* drivers.

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

Please rerun the benckmark with $Oraperl::safe=0; before the eval
(assuming your using version 0.33 or later). That should make a
difference and I'd be interested in how much.
It would also be worth compiling a perl with the DBI, DBD::Oracle
and the oracle libs statically linked into it (like oraperl 2.4 has).
That would be *especially* important if you have more than one
perl + DBD::Oracle loaded at one time.
When you rerun the benckmark please just send the 2nd and 12th (say)
ps lines for each config.
The other significant difference is that I've not got around to
implementing a row cache for DBD::Oracle (oraperl v2.4 has one).
I plan to implement a row cache in a month or two (no promises).

No samples please. I just don't have the time.
Carefully rerunning the benchmarks as described above would be
*very* intereting to me and probably others on dbi-users (CC'd).

Subject: Problem running DBD Oraperl emulation with Perl 5.003

This is probably a stupid question but ...
I am converting an Oracle mail agent written in Oraperl v2.4/Perl 4.036 to
DBD Oraperl emulation with Perl 5.003. When I run my program, all I get is:
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't find loadable object for module DBD::Oracle

By 'converting' I hope you mean *just* adding the one 'use Oraperl;' line
(as described at the top of Oraperl.pm).

Mort probably you didn't run 'make install'. Do so and what the paths printed
and compare them to the paths shown in the error message above.

Why did it make a perl binary? Your system should support dynamic loading.
Tim.

Hi
I have recently been trying to add the DBD-Oracle 'extension' onto
Perl. I am using Perl version 5.0 patch level 2. I have successfully
installed DBI-0.70 with no problems.
The problem arises when trying to install DBD-Oracle-0.35. Everything goes
well until the make test, when tests 4 and 5 fail trying to install a driver.
I have read some of the old mailing lists I found on the net and others
seem to have had similar problems, but none of the fix-its have worked!!
All the details required are included below (I think!!!)
I hope someone out there can help!!
Thanks in advance

You should always try to use Pro*C's proc.mk file and not oracle.mk.
Where is Pro*C installed? If it's not installed then install it.

I think that's the problem and that's my fault.
Here's a patch for Makefile.PL which should help:
diff -c -r1.45 Makefile.PL

$MK{$var} ? expand_mkvars($MK{$var}, $strip, $backtick) : $default;

Please let me know how it works out ASAP.

Hi,
I am trying to install DBD-Oracle-0.32 on HP/UX 10.10.
For the moment, I have installed current version of Perl 5.002 (all tests was
successful) and here is the perl-V output :

I have installed DBI-0.69 first dynamically and then statiscally since
DBD-Oracle was complaining about that. Here was my procedure to install DBI :
perl5 Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static
make
make perl
make test FULLPERL=./perl
Here is the output of the test step :

Now, after installing DBI with make install, I am trying to install DBD-Oracle
with :
./DBI-0.69/perl Makefile.PL
make
make perl
make test FULLPERL=./perl (or make test)
I have the following message :
Writing "Makefile.aperl" for this perl
Can't load module DBI, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
(You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
dynamic loading or has the DBI module statically linked into it.)
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/DBI.pm line 32
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 14.
*** Error exit code 2
Any idea about this problem. It's strange to get this problem since Perl 5 as
been compiled with dynamic loading support and DBI module is statically linked
into it.
Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

Umm, I thought HP-UX 10 should still be able to build a dynamic extension.

Hi,
I followed your advice, but there are still problems during the 'make test'

HP-UX 10 and Oracle 7.2.x do work together when creating dynamic libraries.
The problem was older Oracle libraries were built without the +z flag to cc,
and were therefore position-dependent libraries that can't be linked
dynamically. Newer Oracle releases don't have this problem and it may be
possible to even use the newer Oracle libraries under HP-UX 9. Oracle 7.3
will ONLY work under HP-UX 10, however.

There should be no need. Dynamic should work fine on HP-UX 10.
I suggest you get that working first.

The perl you use to build DBD::Oracle when not using dynamic loading must be
a perl binary with DBI statically linked in. But since you're on HP-UX 10
I suggest you get dynamic loading of the DBI working first.

Subject: DBD-Oracle-0.35 problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi,
I just downloaded perl5.002, DBI 0.69 and DBD-Oracle-0.35. The
environment is Solaris 2.4 on a sparc. Perl and DBI built, tested
and installed fine, however, Oracle 0.35 complains that it wants DBI
0.70. The README says it needs DBI 0.69 or better, but the Makefile.PL
is pretty explicit with a 'use DBI 0.70' line. Is the README correct
and the Makefile.PL in error or is there a DBI 0.70 available to
download?
Many thanks.

Please ignore my question. I've already received appropriate
pointers to a newer version of DBI and perl for that matter.

CPAN/modules/01modules.index.html contains the line (broken for readablility):
DBI
<A HREF="../authors/Tim_Bunce">TIMB</A>
<A HREF="../authors/id/TIMB/DBI/DBI-0.70.tar.gz">DBI-0.70.tar.gz</A>
34k 16 Jun 1996
Which means, that DBI 0.70 is on CPAN since Jun, 16. If your CPAN site
doesn't have it, please ask the local administrator, why. You find the
local administrator's address in CPAN/MIRRORED.BY.

Ah, sorry, there's a documented embedded SQL describe statement, but
upon closer inspection it is not exactly what I want (the sql*plus behavior
is what I'm after).
What's done in dbdimp.c:dbd_describe()? It looks to me like you are getting
some information from the database to determine how much storage to allocate
for returned rows, as well as type information. Is there any way to mold
that information into a call like the one described above?

select * from user.table then read the Oraperl manual for ora_types etc.

You might also be interested in the following "select" statement
which was intended to simulate an sql*plus describe .....
$selstr =
"select column_name \"Name\",".
" decode(nullable,\'N\',\'NOT NULL\',\'Y\',null) \"Null\",".
" decode(data_type,\'DATE\',data_type,".
"\'NUMBER\',data_type||\'(\'||data_precision||\',\'||data_scale||\')\',".
"data_type||\'(\'||data_length||\')\' ) \"Type\"".
" from all_tab_columns".
" where (owner,table_name) = (select table_owner,table_name".
" from user_synonyms where synonym_name = $NAME)".
" or (owner = $OWNER and table_name = $NAME)";

This is what I use for a SQL*Plus describe. I make two queries, the second is
just for Index information.
$sqlQuery1 =<<"EOsqlQuery1";
select COLUMN_NAME, COLUMN_ID, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH, NULLABLE
from all_tab_columns where TABLE_NAME = '$table'
order by COLUMN_ID
EOsqlQuery1
$sqlQuery2 =<<"EOsqlQuery2";
select COLUMN_NAME from all_ind_columns where TABLE_NAME = '$table'
EOsqlQuery2

Don't you just want:
select COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH, DATA_PRECISION
from ALL_TAB_COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = ':1'
A generic table browser/editor can be made using this.

Hello,
What is the minimum installation one must do in order to be able to use
DBD/DBI?
Do you need to set up an Oracle Server? (Or is SQL*Net enough?)
Thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks.
Backwacking all the quotes is noisy. Personally I'd have phrased it more like:
$selstr = q{
select column_name "Name",
decode(nullable, 'N','NOT NULL', 'Y',null) "Null",
decode(data_type, 'DATE',data_type,
'NUMBER',data_type||'('||data_precision||','||data_scale||')',
data_type||'('||data_length||')' ) "Type"
from all_tab_columns
where (owner = $OWNER and table_name = $NAME)
or (owner, table_name) = (
select table_owner,table_name
from user_synonyms where synonym_name = $NAME)
};
Tim.

Message-ID: <

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
WARNING: Naive user!
I am in transition from an OS/2 & REXX environment to AIX & PERL.
DB2/6000 access is critical. I installed PERL 5.002, DBI 0.70, and
DBD-DB2-0.59. When I run the query.pl test program I get the following
on $dbh->disconnect;
disconnect(DBI::db=HASH(0x20018b80)) invalidates 1 associated cursor(s)
at query.pl line 23.
followed by:
IOT/Abort trap(coredump)
Any clue on what I did wrong? (the fetch worked fine).
Also, there is a paragraph in the CAVEATS and HISTORY file that I
don't understand at all:
> Immediately prior to calling $sth->execute() you must call
> $sth->bind_param(index, name, type_hash_ref). Note, that a
> minimal set of type_hash_refs are provided by DB2.pm and they

That's a warning that you have disconnected without closing a cursor.

That might be a stray abort() I left in some DBI error handling code (removed
in the next version) but it might also be something in the DBD::DB2 code.

Notice that here it's linking DBI.a (a static library) which was built for
Perl5.002. Since Perl5.003 uses EMBED mode by default old extension libraries
are no longer compatible.
The simple fix is to delete the old DBI.a file and rebuild DBD::Oracle.

I assume that close is accomplished by $cursor->finish. Here is my
test program:
=======================================================
use DBI;
$ENV{'DB2_HOME'} = '/usr/lpp/db2_02_01';
$drh = DBI->install_driver( 'DB2' );
$dbh = $drh->connect( 'gallery', 'user', 'pw' );
die unless $dbh;
$cursor = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT FILE_NAME FROM nga.web_register_tb" );
$cursor->execute;
$field = $cursor->fetchrow;
print "Field: $field\n";
$rc = $cursor->finish;
print "$rc\n";
$dbh->rollback;
$dbh->disconnect;
exit;
==============================================================
the return code from finish is '1' (tho it seems from looking at the DBD
code that it alwasy returns 1).

Yes. I suspect that the DBD::DB2 finish method is not using the
internal DBI DBIc_ACTIVE_off() macro.

Hi,
I want to call Oracle 7 from using perl5 and am considering
different options. One of my requirements is that I want to be able to
pass to Oracle SQL queries that use oracle specific syntax. Does DBI
allow SQL queries to be passed down to the RDBMS without any sanity
check? Even if it checks each SQL statemeent, is all of Oracle's
syntax incorporated into DBI? Am I forced to use SQL suported by all
the DB vendons?
Thanks much.
Ashish

Yes. (It never does anything else.)

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

Hello,
Yes, I should have read the README to the end.
The bug on HP-UX with oratypes.h in Oracle 7.1.3 applies also
to Oracle 7.1.6
The same sollution applies apparently.
Sorry for the trouble,

I was able to BUILD by installing just SQL*net and Pro*C, then getting the few
RDBMS files that were missing directly from the Oracle CD.
To DEPLOY, I have found that only tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora are required
(for my installation anyway (Solaris 2.5, Oracle 7.2.x.x). It would be nice to
have the error message files available as well, but it is not required.

We're stil awaiting some suggestions as to how to fix this problem/
One thing ocurred to me: We compiled the DBI and DBD code (and Perl itself)
with gcc. I know that we have had problems in the past in linking
gcc-compiled code with Oracle libraries; could this be the source of our
difficulties? Might the problem go away if we used the Sunsoft compilers?

The Hermetica pages have begun the process of getting revamped. All the
driver information has been updated to point correctly at Tom Christiansen's
groovy CPAN multiplexer instead of local copies.
The FAQ has started it's overhaul. Anything people want to see, let me know.
I'll post the FAQ to this mailing list on a semi-regular basis as well.
Also, a new perl module Devel::CoreStack has been released for generating
stack traces from core dumps. It's at:
ftp://ftp.mcqueen.com/pub/research
Please take a copy of this if you're suffering from core dumping scripts.
Regards.

DBI Frequently Asked Questions v.0.1
Last updated: 05/07/96
1. Basic Information & Information Sources
1. What is DBI, DBPerl, Oraperl and oraperl?
2. Where can I get it from?
3. Where can I get more information?
2. Compilation problems or "It fails the tests!"
+ DBI
+ Oracle
+ mSQL
+ Informix
3. Further Information
_________________________________________________________________
1.1 What is DBI, DBPerl, Oraperl and oraperl?
To quote Tim Bunce, the architect and author of DBI:
"DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API)
for the Perl Language. The DBI API Specification defines a set of
functions, variables and conventions that provide a consistent
database interface independant of the actual database being used."
In simple language, the DBI interface allows users to access multiple
database types transparently. So, if you connecting to an Oracle,
Informix, mSQL, Sybase or whatever database, you don't need to know
the underlying mechanics of the 3GL layer. The API defined by DBI will
work on all these database types.
A similar benefit is gained by the ability to connect to two different
databases of different vendor within the one perl script, ie, I want
to read data from an Oracle database and insert it back into an
Informix database all within one program. The DBI layer allows you to
do this simply and powerfully.
DBPerl is the old name for the interface specification. It's usually
now used to denote perl4 modules on database interfacing, such as,
oraperl, isqlperl, ingperl and so on. These interfaces didn't have a
standard API and are generally not supported.
However, some DBI modules have DBPerl emulation layers, so,
DBD::Oracle comes with an Oraperl emulation layer, which allows you
to run legacy oraperl scripts wihtout modification. The emulation
layer translates the oraperl API calls into DBI calls and executes
them through the DBI switch.
_________________________________________________________________
1.2. Where can I get it from?
DBI is primarily distributed from:
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db
Unfortunately, this site tends to be clogged most of the day. A mirror
site has been set up at:
ftp://ftp.mcqueen.com/pub/databases/DBI
which currently is more accessible.
The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network resources should be used for
retrieving up-to-date versions of the drivers, since local mirror
sites usually lag. For more specific version information and exact
URLs of drivers, please see the drivers list and the DBI Switch pages.
_________________________________________________________________
1.3. Where can I get more information?
There are a few information sources on DBI.
* DBI Specification
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/doc/dbispec
The DBI Specification lays out the DBI interface. It should be
noted that some modules, notably DBD::mSQL and DBD::Informix, vary
from this occasionally. This document should be regarded as being
of historical interest only and should not serve as a programming
manual, or authoratative in any sense.
* Oraperl POD documentation
For users of the Oraperl emulation layer bundled with DBD::Oracle,
typing:
perldoc Oraperl
will produce an updated copy of the original oraperl man page
written by Kevin Stock for perl4. The oraperl API is fully listed
and described there.
* Rambles, Tidbits and Observations
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/index.html#tidbits
There are a serious of occasional rambles from various people on
the DBI mailing lists who, in an attempt to clear up a simple
point, end up drafting fairly comprehensive documents. These are
quite often varying in quality, but do provide some insights into
the workings of the interfaces.
* The DBI driver
If you locate the driver file DBI.pm in your perl library
directory, at the end of that file, the DBI interface is listed
with correct invocations.
* Mailing Lists
http://www.fugue.com/dbi
There are three mailing lists for DBI run by Ted Lemon. These are:
+ dbi-announce
This mailing list is for announcements only. Very low
traffic. The announcements are usually posted on the main DBI
WWW page.
If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW
page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner:
Email:
[email protected] with a message body of
subscribe
+ dbi-dev
This mailing list is intended for the use of developers
discussing ideas and concepts for the DBI interface, API and
driver mechanics. Only any use for developers, or interested
parties. Low traffic.
If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW
page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner:
Email:
[email protected] with a message body of
subscribe
+ dbi-users
This mailing list is a general discussion list used for bug
reporting, problem discussion and general enquiries. Medium
traffic.
If you cannot successfully use the form on the above WWW
page, please subscribe to the list in the following manner:
Email:
[email protected] with a message body of
subscribe
* Mailing List Archives
http://www.coe.missouri.edu/~faq/lists/dbi.html
Searchable hypermail archives of the three mailing lists, and some
of the much older traffic have been set up for users to browse.
_________________________________________________________________
2.1. Compilation problems or "It fails the test!"
First off, consult the online information about the module, beit DBI
itself, or a DBD, and see if it's a known compilation problem on your
architecture. These documents can be found at:
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI
If it's a known problem, you'll probably have to wait till it gets
fixed. If you're really needing it fixed, try the following:
* Attempt to fix it yourself
This technique is generally not recommended to the faint-hearted.
If you do think you have managed to fix it, then, send a patch
file ( context diff ) to the author with an explanation of:
+ What the problem was, and test cases, if possible.
+ What you needed to do to fix it. Please make sure you mention
everything.
+ Platform information, database version, perl version, module
version and DBI version.
* Email the author Do NOT whinge!
We tend to have real jobs to do, and we do read the mailing lists
for problems. Besides, we may not have access to <insert your
favourite brain-damaged platform here> and couldn't be of any
assistance anyway! Apologies for sounding harsh, but that's the
way of it!
However, you might catch one of these creative genii at 3am when
we're doing this sort of stuff anyway, and get a patch within 5
minutes. The atmosphere in the DBI circle is that we do appreciate
the users' problems, since we work in similar environments.
If you are planning to email the author, please furnish as much
information as possible, ie:
+ ALL the information off the README file in the problematic
module. And we mean ALL of it. We don't put lines like that
in documentation for the good of our health, or to meet
obscure README file standards of length.
+ If you have a core dump, try the Devel::CoreStack module for
generating a stack trace from the core dump. Send us that
too. Devel::CoreStack can be found at
ftp://ftp.mcqueen.com/pub/research/Devel-CoreStack-1.3.tar.g
z
+ Module versions, perl version, test cases, operating system
versions and any other pertinent information.
Remember, the more information you send us, the quicker we can
track problems down. If you send us nothing, expect nothing back.
* Email the dbi-users Mailing List
It's usually a fairly intelligent idea to cc the mailing list
anyway with problems. The authors all read the lists, so you lost
nothing by mailing there.
2.2 DBI Compilation Problems
Here are some of the most common DBI compilation and test failure
problems.

Hmm, that's lynx's prettify function for you. I've twiddled the wording so it

OK, I've added this chunk to the "Email the author" section.
Please email the address listed in the WWW pages for whichever driver you
are having problems with. Do <B>not</B> directly email the author at a
known address unless it corresponds with the one listed.
So, if any driver authors don't want directly contacted, change your email
adrresses in the README's and let me know for the pages. Tim, you're already
pointing at dbi-users.
I think this gets the point across.
Do we want regular posting of the FAQ to dbi-users?

You're still waiting because you've not been paying enough attention :-)
It was fixed in DBD::Oracle 0.34 and we're now up to 0.35.

Has anyone usccessfully gotten the Oraperl

I use the original Oraperl with perl 4.036

I did find a single email reference on one of

Subject: Executing stored procedure wierdness?
DBD/DBI::Oracle/Perl versions 0.69/0.32/5.002.
Any ideas why the Perl statement
$dbh->do("EXECUTE PACKAGE.PROCEDURE('ARG1')");
is returning (figuratively speaking)
ERROR # 900: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement (DBD: possibly parse error at char
acter 1 of 32 in 'EXECUTE PACKAGE.PROCEDURE('ARG1')')
(obviously I've swapped names to make it clear).
This statement functions in SQLPLUS without a hitch.
It must be something obvious, to be happening in col 1.
Stephen

EXECUTE is a SQL*Plus extension. Try "BEGIN PACKAGE.PROCEDURE('ARG1');
END;" instead.

I've lost track of any such work.
Most NT users seem to get by with the NT ODBC module.
You could probably knock up an Oraperl emulation layer for it.

Dear DBI Users,
Hi, I'm new to this e-mail group, and I've searched the Web for
info on using Perl with the Microsoft Access RDBMS, but so far have found
no info on this topic. It's my hope that someone here would be kind
enough to help me with these 3 SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:
1. Is it possible for Perl to interface with Microsoft Access?
2. Has anyone ever tried it, if it's possible?
3. Are there any Perl code, modules, or libraries to do this?
I would appreciate your assistance. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kuan-Chuen Wu

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Help!
I am running Perl 5 and the DBI database connectivity on a Sun system to
talk to an Oracle Database, the Web server I am using is the Oracle Web
Server.
I have Perl 5 with the Oracle bits and pieces up and running and it works
well,from a terminal session (Sun Solaris 2.5) I can run Perl programs and
access the Oracle database with no problems. The problems start when I try
and do the same from the Web Browser.
A straight Perl progam works with the Web with no trouble but as soon as I
put in the line:
use DBI;
the Oracle web browser gives me an error message, the error message is:
The server had an internal error and could not process the request.
Which is not a lot of help. If I comment out the Oracle connectivity stuff
it works fine and the Oracle stuff works fine if I run the perl program
from a terminal session!
Any ideas??
I have tried setting the environemtnal variables in the Web session to be
the same as the terminal session using the $ENV variable (eg; $ENV{"HOME"}
= "/dir/dir/home";) but to no avail.
If anyone has any ideas could they please mail me direct to:
[email protected]
or reply to the group.
Cheers,

Not at the moment, as all of my code runs as expected. I'll see

Basically, if your statement to be executed contained any parameters
( select a, b, c from foo where a = ? and b = c) you need to execute
you need to call bind_param(index, name, type_hase_ref) once for
each question mark. Index is the position indicator for the question
mark (1 in the contrived example), name is the name of the perl
variable, and type_hash_ref is a hash reference containing all the
information DB2 needs to know about your column but has forgotten
since the prepare() call.
Short example:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$ENV{"DBI_DRIVER"} = "DB2"; # set driver in the environment
$ENV{"DBI_NAME"} = "sample"; # set database name in the environment
use DBI;
use DBD::DB2::Constants;
# load the DB2 module import type information for
# int - integers, char - characters, float - floats
# date - date, ts - DB2 time_stamp
use DBD::DB2 qw($attrib_int $attrib_char $attrib_float
$attrib_date $attrib_ts);
# set up a new hash ref for decimal types
$attrib_dec = { %$attrib_int, 'Stype' => SQL_DECIMAL, 'Scale' => 2,
'Prec' => 31 };
$DBI::dbi_debug=3; # increase the debug output
$dbh = DBI->connect('sample'); # connect to the DB2 sample database
if (!defined($dbh)) { # check connection
# failed to connec to database
# dump the SQLerror number, the text of the error message
# and the SQLState, then exit
print "err ", $DBI::err, "\n";
print "errstr ", $DBI::errstr, "\n";
print "state ", $DBI::state, "\n";
exit;
}
# select all employee which a gif format picture in the
# database
$stmt = "select empno, photo_format from inv.emp_photo where photo_format ='gif';";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt);
$sth->execute();
while ((@row = $sth->fetchrow())) { # fetch empno and photo_format
# open output file with name being empno.photo_format
open(OUTPUT,">$row[0].$row[1]") || die "Can't open $row[0].$row[1]";
#****************************************************************
#
# notice that the select statement contains a single parameter
#
$stmt = "select picture from inv.emp_photo where empno = ? and photo_format = 'gif';";
$pict_sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt);
#
# After perparing the statement we need to tell DB2 where
# to find all of the information about the variable (in this

#
# Note the only statements between bind_param and execute

$pict_sth->bind_param(1,$row[0],$attrib_char);
$pict_sth->execute();
$pict_sth->fetch();
while ($buff = $pict_sth->readblob(1,0,4096)) {

Wrong, DBD::DB2 does use the DBIc_ACTIVE_off() macro. The problem
actually looks like a symbole resolution problem in that
IOTrap is being caused by dbhi_getcom() explicitly calling
abort.
Excerpt frm DBI-0.70:
static imp_xxh_t *
dbih_getcom(hrv) /* Get com struct for handle. Must be fast. */
SV *hrv;
{
MAGIC *mg;
SV *sv;
/* important and quick sanity check (esp non-'safe' Oraperl) */
if (!SvROK(hrv) /* must at least be a ref */
&& hrv != DBI_LAST_HANDLE /* special for var::FETCH */) {
sv_dump(hrv);
abort();
croak("Invalid DBI handle %s", SvPV(hrv,na));
}
[ rest intentionally deleted ]
I'll chase it some Monday morning.

Subject: Problem inserting into tables with >50 columns
Date: Mon, 08 Jul 96 15:04:20 +1000
I'm using DBI (v0.70) and DBD-Oracle (v0.35) on IRIX 5.3 to load data
into tables using an SQL INSERT of the form:
"INSERT INTO $table ($cols) VALUES (?, ?, ? ... )"
The insert works fine on about 30 different tables (largest is 35
columns), but perl/DBI/DBD dumps core (segmentation fault) on a couple
of tables that have >50 columns.
The core dump occurs when executing the insert (the `prepare' works
fine). Note that there is no problem with the insert statement, and
none of the a table integrity constraints are violated by the data I'm
inserting.
I've attached the `perl -V' output and will follow up with a stack
trace (once I work out how to get one). The current installation of
DBI and DBD passed all tests. The problem occurs with our previous
installation as well (DBI v0.68, DBD v0.28). I'm currently scouring
the DBI and DBD code to see if I can find the problem.
It appears that there is an array overflow happening somewhere. I'd
appreciate any suggestions about where this overflow is occuring.
Ciao,
AndyB

As far as I know, nobody has compiled DBI or oraperl for Windows NT.
(If they have, let me know). In the interm, you can use my ODBC perl
module (re-written by Dave Roth (Thanks Dave)).
Go to
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/01modules.index.html
and find Dave Roth's Win32ODBC module. With it, you will be able
to talk to any ODBC datasource (from Oracle to SQL Server to Excel
to Access, etc..)
Hope this helps!

I found the problem (turns out that it *was* in the prepare). The
'dbd_preparse' function of dbdimp.c in DBD-Oracle-0.35 was a little
optimistic in its memory allocation for a (modified) copy of the SQL
statement. Context diffs for the change are attached:

This means that the CGI program exited with non-zero status. Usually,
it's because of perl giving some compilation error, and this is particularly
likely if it's failing when you add a "use" line. You should be using perl -w,
and preferably "use strict" too, but it's often a good idea to check the program
with perl -c from the command line before invoking it with via a browser.
For what it's worth, here's Steve's Oracle Webserver Checklist. For the most
part, they assume that you're trying to invoke PL/SQL procedures directly
through Oracle's PL/SQL Agent, rather than just calling a Perl CGI script,
but I've found that I've had to use both Perl and PL/SQL, so perhaps you will
too. :-)
Symptom:
When attempting to access URLs such as:
http://host:8080/ows-bin/service/owa/pkg.proc
the server responds with "Request failed. We were unable to
process your request at this time. Please try again later."
Cause:
(i) The listener can't read the configuration file owa.cfg.
(ii) The listener is attempting to invoke the PL/SQL procedure named,
but can't, for some reason.
Fix:
(i) Make sure that /home/oracle/owa2/admin/owa.cfg is readable by the user
that the listener runs as.
(ii) (a) Check that the Oracle user for the listener has the permissions to
invoke such functions: do "pkg.proc" in sqlplus. There won't
be any output, but it should say that it ran ok.
(b) Make sure that the names of the input fields in the form
match up exactly with the names of the parameters in the
script. There must be a one-to-one mapping.
(c) If you've got multiple-value fields, such as SELECTs,
make sure they're of the right type (defined in the
OWA_UTIL package), and that there's an extra value
supplied by a hidden field to force at least one value
to be selected.
(iii) If all else fails, the procedure is probably raising an
exception. Put OTHERS exception handlers around everything
and print out error messages in them.
Symptom:
When attempting to access URLs such as:
http://host:8080/ows-bin/service/owa/pkg.proc
the server responds with "Requested URL was not found on this
server".
Cause:
This is due to there not being a mapping in the service listener's
Virtual Directory Mappings configuration, of the form:
/home/oracle/ows2/bin/ CN /ows-bin/service/
so the "owa" program isn't found.
Fix:
Create the virtual directory mapping, halt the listener, and
restart it.

The abort() got left in by accident (I was using it for some debugging).
I took it out awhile ago but haven't got around to making another release.
I'll make another release within a week or so. It'll require 5.003 so
people should upgrade now.
Tim.

Sigh. Read the CGI programming FAQ's then fetch and use the CGI::ErrorWrap
module then you'll probably find that you've forgotten to set ORACLE_HOME.

Shure, lots of. But you didn't supply sufficient background to decide
what is the right one.
First of all: You have a CGI problem, not a perl or dbi
problem. Following my sig is the advice Tom Christiansen collected for
people with this kind of probs. He called it "The Idiot's Guide to
Solving Perl CGI Problems".
You can find it at
http://www.perl.com/perl/faq/idiots-guide.html, too.

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

It's impolite to send a message to a mailing list without understanding
what the mailing list is for. Sending a message to all three of the dbi
groups (especially -announce) certainly does not encourage people to
want to spend time helping you.
Sending the message again to just dbi-users simply compounds the mistake
since many people would have already received three copies.

You might be able to use the ODBC module:
ftp://ftp.infowire.com/pub/ntperl/NTodbc_v0.5.zip
That module is not supported on this mailing list.

here is a snippet of code. If I unrem the cursor section it runs both

my part but I give.... I'm runing oracle 7.1.6 with webserver 1.0.1,
perl 5.002, dbi .70, DBD::Oracle .35. I would like to be able to execute
a call similar to above via cron and I also need to execute stored
procedures which I see I should be able to do but.....
I have this test script in my cgi-bin dir owned by oracle who runs my
oracle daemons etc. The permissions are 777. I figure it's something in
my call as cursors run from everywhere just can't get the do to work.
Thanks in Advance.

For some reason, I want to interface my Perl script with
a MS Access database. Any leads on the same would be appreciated.

Anyone posting CGI related problems to this mailing list who has not
use the CGI::ErrorWrap module will be ignored by me. Sorry but I just
don't have the time. Perhaps others will feel more generous.

I'm also having problems with make test. I tried the patch
Makefile.PL patch posted by Tim on July 1, but it doesn't
make any difference. I know that I should be using proc.mk,
but I don't have it available.
Script of perl -V and attempted install follows. I did a
make realclean first.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

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

Subject: Inserting LONG RAW data using DBI/DBD-Oracle
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 96 12:16:25 +1000
I'm having problems inserting Oracle LONG RAW fields using the DBI. I
noticed reports of success using the Oraperl interface on the mailing
list, but I'm constrained to use DBI. When trying to insert a string
into a long raw column, I get the following Oracle error message from
the DBI `execute' function:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
(DBD: oexec error)
I've tried the following variations with no success:
1. $sth = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO $table ($colname) VALUES (?)")
(a) $sth->execute ($string) # -- string contains raw data
(b) $sth->execute ($hexidecimal_string) # -- hexidecimal for raw data
2. $sth = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO $table ($colname) VALUES (HEXTORAW(?))")
$sth->execute ($hexidecimal_string) # -- hexidecimal for raw data
From reading the interpretation of this error from the Oracle messages
and codes manual, it seems that either DBD-Oracle is forcing the type
to 'LONG' when binding the variable, or that Oracle is getting
confused about LONG and LONG RAW columns. From a search through the
'dbdimp.c' source, I can't find any obvious problems.
Note that example 1(a) above works fine for LONG columns (and our
interim solution is to change the type of the columns to LONG).
Any comments or suggestions appreciated. I'm happy to test code
changes if access to Oracle is a problem.
Ta.

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

Subject: Setting ENV variables
Hi,
We recently upgraded from 7.0.16 to 7.2.3 and seemd to
be having problem with slow connection (upto 4 min).
The problem is the same with oraperl 2.4 and Perl5 w/oraperl
emulation (DBD-Oralce). If we rebuild oraperl with the 7.0.16
libs - it works fine with the new oracle - but we hate to keep
the old libs around.
Some people advised me that that The problem with the "slow connects"
was traced to the use of a putenv() call in our application code;
apparently part of Oracle's code was getting confused if the environment
section of a process was getting changed at all. The work around
suggested was setting the ENV variables seperately. This can be
done by using a seperate shell script (setting env) and then running
the ora-perl scripts. It does work but the problem we have is, we are
using the ora-perl scripts to access the Oracle database thru the WEB.
and running the shell scripts to set env variables every time an ora-perl
script is called to be executed. Is there simple way to set ENV variables
using the shell scripts once ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prasad Bammidi

Subject: Bug in 'Makefile.PL' for DBD::Oracle Version 0.35
To:
[email protected]
Date: Tue, 9 Jul 96 11:23:40 EDT
Cc:
[email protected]
Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85.2.1]
I think I've found a bug in 'Makefile.PL' for DBD::Oracle version 0.35.
I was compiling it for Perl 5.003 under HP-UX version 10.01.
You can see from the diff output below that the 'Makefile.PL' that comes
with DBD::Oracle 0.35 refers to '$Config{osver}', but should refer to
'$Config{osvers}'. The result is that 'Makefile.PL' thinks that the
OS version is undefined. So the check to see if the version of HP-UX
is less than 10 will always evaluate to true. This causes the static
linking of the Oracle lib's into the Perl interpreter even though
dynamic linking would work. Here is the diff output:
# diff Makefile.PL Makefile.PL.broke
114,115c114,115
< if ($Config{osname} eq 'hpux' and $Config{osvers} < 10) {
< print "Warning: forced to build static not dynamic on $Config{osname} $Config{osvers}\n";
---
> if ($Config{osname} eq 'hpux' and $Config{osver} < 10) {
> print "Warning: forced to build static not dynamic on $Config{osname} $Config{osver}\n";
Hope this helps...

I've never had cause to use LONGs so I don't know for sure but something
like this might work:
$sth = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO $table ($colname) VALUES (?)")
$sth->bind_param(1, $hexidecimal_string, { ora_type => 24 });
$sth->execute();
Hopefully others who have actually played with longs can offer some
experience.
Tim.

Subject: $cursor->fetchrow Fetches Nothing
Hello fellow dbi-users...
I am having a difficult time getting select statements out
of my Informix database using the cursor methods. Any wise
words of wisdom would be appreciated!!
================
My code
================
$cursor = $dbh->prepare( 'select * from cori' );
$cursor->execute;
$cursor->debug(2); # see below for results of debug
while ($row = $cursor->fetchrow) {
print STDOUT "fetched row $row -- \n";
}
$cursor->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;
=================
I am using DBI 0.69, DBD-Informix, Perl 5.002. Everything
connects, adds, and deletes fine, but 'select' does not
return any rows even though they exist! Here is the debugging
result:
=================
$cursor->debug(2)
=================
Prepared cursor DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)
Cursor executed.
DBI::st=HASH(0x151fec) debug level set to 2
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= '................................................................'
fetched row --
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= '................................................................'
fetched row --
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= '................................................................'
fetched row --
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= '................................................................'
fetched row --
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= '................................................................'
fetched row --
-> fetchrow for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- fetchrow= undef
-> finish for DBD::Informix::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x151cd4)~0x151fec)
<- finish= 1
===================
What are all these dots? The strange thing is, it knows that I have five rows in
the table. But it won't read them for me! Also, as a side note:
disconnect(DBI::db=HASH(0x151cd4)) invalidates 1 associated cursor(s) at test2.pl line 36.
Has anybody had a problem not getting 'select' statements to work?
Thank you and have a nice day...

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

Subject: LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem
X-Url:
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/DBI/index.html
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Greetings,
I'm writing a small web application the uses the Oracle DB driver but
I've been having some problems. Apparently, the script I've written
only works if I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib
directory. Otherwise, it give me the following error:
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/opt/local/perl5/lib/site_perl/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so'
for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: /opt/local/bin/perl: fatal:
libclntsh.so.1.0: can't open file: errno=2 at
/opt/local/perl5/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 140.
at /opt/local/perl5/lib/site_perl/DBD/Oracle.pm line 24
DBI::install_driver called at xx.pl line 7
This is not a problem when I ran my perl scripts by hand because I can
set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable but I don't see a way to do this with
CGI/Perl. BTW, I have tried to use
$ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'}=$ORACLE_HOME/lib but I haven't had any luck
getting it to work. Is there a way around this error or procedure so
that I don't need to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? Are there any
compiler flags such as -R that will help this problem?
Other information:
OS/Version: Solaris 2.5
Perl Version: 5.002
Oracle: 7.3.2
Any pointers or comments are welcome.
TIA,
Dave

Thanks. Your patch is just fine (I forget from time to time that hv_fetch
needs an actual string length and won't work it out itself like many other
perl functions). It'll be in the next release.
And what a joy it is to receive a patch rather than bug report :-)
Tim.

Hi, there,
Thanks for all the help from you.
Now, I have nearly finished compiling, but
whenever I run a DBperl script, there is
'Bus Error(core dump)' *after* the script
is executed.
I.E., things work now, but the last message
of core dump frustrates me a lot, though it
seems to be not prevent me from working:->
I found that the core dump is due to
"eval 'use Oraperl; 1' || die $@ if ] >=5;"
Could you give me any hint on this? This is my
problem of installation or your bug?
Thanks a lot,
-Hao
p.s.: besides, i didn't find the core file after all.
