Wrap the ENV in a BEGIN { } END block.

BEGIN { $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'}=$ORACLE_HOME/lib ; } END

I think this may not be necessary with the newest DBI.

Common mistakes:

- not telling me the version of DBD::Oracle being used
(use 0.35)
and
- not putting $ENV{...} into a BEGIN block.

:-)

Changes in DBI 0.71, 10 July 1996

Removed spurious abort() from invalid handle check.
Added quote method to DBI interface and added test.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.36 (Oraperl 1.28), 10 July 1996

Fixed bind_param ora_type attribute.
Fixed preparse to allocate enough memory for worst case.
Fixed broken HP-UX 10 check in Makefile.PL.
Other assorted Makefile.PL improvements.
(Many thanks to those who sent in fixes.)

Note that DBD::Oracle 0.36 requires DBI 0.71 and both require perl 5.003.

Uploaded to ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/db/ DBI/ and DBD/Oracle/ as usual.
Should propogate around CPAN in a day or two.

Tim.

Make sure you are using the latest version.

Read *all* the README *carefully* and then send *all* the
information it asks for, especially logs of the build.

You could also find the core file and get the Devel::CoreStack
module from a CPN site and use it to get a stack trace from the core.

Tim.

I had already deleted my old mail, but I seem to recall someone asking
about an error message like this:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI/DBI.so' for
module DBI: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error:
symbol not found: sv_undef: referenced in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI/DBI.so at

at /usr/local/lib/perl5/DBI.pm line 32
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./nph-msds_sql_access.pl line 5.

(or maybe it was some other error) Anyway, this just happened to me
too. The problem was that I upgraded from perl 5.002 to 5.003.

To fix I installed DBD::Oracle 0.36 that Tim just announced.

Are you running with a SunOS4.x compiler or SunOS4.x ORACLE RDBMS release?
If you're not, and you've upgraded to Solaris recently, you need to upgrade
your RDBMS binaries and libraries to native Solaris ELF.

Such errors relate to a change in perl between 5.002 and 5.003.
You need to rebuild all third-party extensions.

I continue to have problems making DBD Oracle on SunOS 5.5.

Please forgive me if this is already in the README file (I searched but
could find nothing), or a stupid compiler question (man, Tim really made me
feel bad).

.. Much much more of stuff like this ...

Any help/flames appreciated.

Subject: Trouble with DBI-0.71, DBD-Oracle-0.36, Oracle 7.3.2.1.0, Solaris 2.5
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

In order to get DBI/DBD flying on NT, I thought I should get
current on perl 5.003, Solaris 2.5 and Oracle 7.3.2.1.0. I've
run into 3 problems building DBI-0.71 and DBD-Oracle-0.36.
(The requirement for 5.003 may mean I'm SOL on NT for now....)

Problem #1
==========
In proc.mk, CCFLAGS gets defined by the included file:
include $(ORACLE_HOME)/precomp/env_precomp.mk
to the value:
CCFLAGS= -Xc -xstrconst -xcg92 -xF -mr -K PIC -DSLXMX_ENABLE
-DSLTS_ENABLE -D_REENTRANT

During make, I see:

cc: Warning: multiple use of -K option, previous one discarded.

Makefile.PL appends a -Kpic (from config) to these flags.
I reconfigured and rebuilt perl with -K PIC.
(If not, the more stringent -K PIC would be overridden by
the later-occurring and less stringent -K pic.)
Correcting to -K PIC still leaves the compile error.

Problem #2
==========

The compile of Oracle.c fails with the following (inter alia):

"/scratch/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.003/CORE/perl.h", line 1367:
undefined or not a type: sigjmp_buf

To fix the compile error, I manually removed -Xc from CCFLAGS
(this also comes from env_prcomp.mk). I'll look at how
to get Makefile.PL to do this now that I know the problem.

Problem #3
===========
The next problem is libclntsh.so is not found at runtime.
I don't know why LD_RUN_PATH is being ignored during the
build--I tried both csh and sh. I'll try to figure out
how to get -R $(LIBHOME) into the link command tomorrow.
I have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get the tests to pass, or
patch the link command with -R $(LIBHOME).

Here's the requested log of the make (before removing -Xc)
and perl -V (before rebuilding with -K PIC instead of -Kpic):

I can get everything to compile but during the tests, the dynamic loader
complains that it can't find the object "osnptt". It's called from
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/osntab.o but beyond that, I don't know what it does.

Platform: Sun SparcCenter 1000

Oracle Version: 7.3.2.1 (This is production as far as I know.)
Perl Version: 5.003
GCC Version: 2.5.8 (The DBI and DBD builds both complain that gcc is
really
old but I haven't been able to find a newer one.)
DBI Version: 0.71
DBD Version: 0.36

Typescript from the DBD build follows .sig.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanx,

Calvin.

Disclaimer: My inability to figure out the Oracle code is in no way a
reflection on Oracle as a whole. I'm just a sysadmin and barely
know my way around "select * from ..." :]

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.

Upgrade gcc. You can get the latest which is 2.7.2 from prep.ai.mit.edu,
or your nearest GNU mirror.

I'm going to make the sweeping comment that the gcc version *may* be the problem
since osntab.o is in the link line. There were link order issues on earlier
gcc versions, which is what you may be seeing. So, upgrade immediately and
try again.

You could get away with 5.002 easily or 5.001m with some pain.

It says it's a warning.

Sending me _that_ log doesn't help me help you fix Problem #3.

Is LD_RUN_PATH getting set correctly on the ld command line?

Flames? Well how about my standard mantra about including *all* the
information the README asks for? :-)

Specifically, did the MakeMaker output say "Linker: /usr/ccs/bin/ld"?

Other than that, Alligators comments about it not being a Solaris 2
version of Oracle (or at least the libraries) sound plausable.

Good. I'll proceed with the NT effort (and change the require...).

Sorry, I didn't want to make the mail any more confusing than I
already had. I'll include the new log to show that LD_RUN_PATH
is being set in the link command.

Duh...I just figured out the problem. We have a non-standard
installation of GDBM, which requires perl to build with -R
to be able to dynamically load GDBM, and gives the following
link command:

LD_RUN_PATH="/gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib:/lib" ld -o
blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so -G -L/scratch/local/lib
-R /scratch/local/lib Oracle.o dbdimp.o
/gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib/__fstd.o
-L/gf/env/solaris2/oracle-7.3.2/lib -lclntsh -lsql -lsqlnet -lncr
-lsqlnet -lclient -lcommon -lgeneric -lsqlnet -lncr -lsqlnet
-lclient -lcommon -lgeneric -lepc -lnlsrtl3 -lc3v6 -lcore3
-lnlsrtl3 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 -lsocket -lnsl -lm -ldl -lm

From the Solaris 2.5 AnswerBook for C:

-Rdir[:dir] (Solaris 2.X) If both LD_RUN_PATH and the -R option
are specified, the -R option takes precedence.

Is there an overriding reason to favor LD_RUN_PATH for Solaris
rather than adding a -R$(LIBHOME) to the ld command?

Subject: Running out of open cursors
Reply-to: "B. K. Oxley (binkley)" <[email protected]>

I'm writing a CGI::MiniSvr/Oraperl application for Oracle access from
the web, but am hitting a rather nasty snag. I run out of open
cursors in Oracle after a while of running my mini-server. This makes
it seem like the classic case of a leak in my code (since cursors are
automatically closed when they go out of scope), so I arranged to do
this:

All cursor access goes through wrapper routines that store/refer to
the last-opened cursor as a private global in the mini-server, like
this:

OraFetch (...);

is a wrapper for:

ora_fetch ($server->PrivateOraCursor, ...);

where "$server->PrivateOraCursor" is just an access method to the
previously stored cursor from your call to ora_open.

Fine, this seems to work quite ok, and relieves my other programmers
from needing to keep track of things; they can just use the wrapper
access methods my server's API provides.

But... after running for a long while, I run out of open cursors.
So--methought--a leak! Well, my mini-server does everything via an
event loop, looking for new HTTP requests, so I arranged to do this:

At the end of each handled HTTP request, I explicitly close the
globally stored cursor, like this:

while (some-test-goes-here) {
# process request
...
my $cursor = $server->PrivateOraCursor;
ora_close ($cursor);
}

I thought this would do the trick for sure... but it doesn't. So I
considered that maybe I really was running out of open cursors. We
have the database tuned to provide 1000 cursors. This seems like
plenty (*crosses fingers*).

How can I get DBI/DBD to tell me about opening/using/closing cursors?
Is there something else besides "$cursor->debug (2)", which might be
quite enough, but I haven't tried it yet since I need to arrange for
debug output to show up in my server's log files, and not elsewhere.

Oh, I almost forgot: DBI 0.69; DBD 0.32; Perl 5.002_01.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much,
--binkley

I peeked through "dbdimp.c", and found this code which I guess is
executed when a cursor is closed. The comment that the cursor isn't
actually closed until DBD is destroy'ed makes the hair go up on my
neck. Is _this_ why I run out of open cursors?

If so, what can I do about it besides logging in/out of the database
after every transaction (yuck!)?

Not entirely clueful,
--binkley

dbd_st_finish(sth)

{
D_imp_sth(sth);
/* Cancel further fetches from this cursor. */
/* We don't close the cursor till DESTROY. */
/* The application may re execute it. */
if (DBIc_ACTIVE(imp_sth) && ocan(imp_sth->cda) ) {
ora_error(sth, imp_sth->cda, imp_sth->cda->rc, "ocan error");

I've built perl 5.003 and DBI 0.70 in my home directory
under UnixWare [basicly, svr4] DBI passes all it's tests
and can load all three drivers in the package (ExampleP,
NullP, and Sponge) However, I can't seem to load Oracle.

You may also note that I had to modify Makefile.PL
(had to change "use DBI 0.70;" to "use DBI;" I don't
know what impact this had, but it let me build the Makefile.

I noted a SVR4 tip in the README of DBD::Oracle, but I
don't understand what it means (there is no such string
anywhere that I can find...)

Are you *sure* you've not run out of cursors in the database? The open_cursors
init.ora parameter is per transaction ( if remember correctly ), but data
dictionary sizing may prevent you opening them.

OK, this attached hacked script ( including Tim's hated DBI->install_driver()
call. Hi Tim! 8-) ) *may* show up your problem. It didn't with me. I may have
the semantics wrong, as per usual. Basically, this extracts the session ID
of the session that's hopefully running this script ( this bit's serious
crap ). It'll then recursively open and close a cursor that shows the open
cursors for that session. In your case, it'd imply that number keeps increasing.
On mine, as expected, it's always one. Anyway, try it and see. You'll need
to change some obvious bits in the code for your setup. It's raw DBI.

Oh, and if this inadvertantly destroys your database, I take no responsibilty,
but can be contracted at UKP750/day to fix it. 8-)

use DBI;
$drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' );

Currently not (regretfully).

There are plans. There is little time.

Sigh.

It will happen, one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

But don't hold your breath.

Subject: Trouble connecting to remote Oracle instance
Cc: [email protected]
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hopefully I am not making a glaring error which will get me flamed (and don't
think there isn't a good chance I am :-)

I have a two server setup here, one of which runs Oracle7.1.6 (among other
things), the other which runs a web server. I need to be able to access the
Oracle7 database remotely from the web server box, and wanted to use perl to do
it. I built DBI 0.69 with no problems, then built DBD::Oracle 0.32. To do the
latter I mounted the ORACLE_HOME from the remote machine onto the web server,
added an appropriate login with the proper oracle environment, and let her rip.
All went well there too.

However, when I attempt "make test", I am given error ORA 12203, ORACLE_HOME
not set. As I said, I am using the proper environment, so ORACLE_HOME is
definitely set correctly. Also, when I exported the remote filesystem I was
sure to set the default uid as the oracle DBA login, which, of course, also has
the proper ORACLE_HOME. The output from the "make test" follows this letter.

For the sake of information, I am using DBI v. 0.69, perl 5.002, oracle 7.1.6,
and DBD::Oracle 0.32. The remote database instance runs on an SGI Challenge S
server running IRIX 5.3; the web server box is an SGI Indy running IRIX 5.3
also. perl (and the modules) run on the Indy, while Oracle runs on the
Challenge S. The database server is in fact running, and I can connext to it
on the remote machine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help you might give

Yah, I've suspected this sort of leakage from the beginning; that's
why I kept the cursor as a global in the first place so that my
mini-server could keep an eye on it, and hopefully avoid mislaid
references doing this to me. But so far, no luck. I'm not trying to
fault DBI/DBD--I'm quite willing to accept blame if I could just
figure out where it happens!

But I don't have any evidence yet of this happening. Is there are way
to get an objects reference count from inside of scripts?

It does not say "until DBD is destroy'ed", only "till DESTROY".
The DESTROY method wil be called when the last reference to the cursor
is deleted/undefined etc.

undef $server->PrivateOraCursor;

(e.g., remove/delete/undef etc _all_ references to the cursor)

Oh, I am quite sure I am running out of cursors in the database.
That's the point--why does it happen? In another context (a "C"
program using Oracle's API), the same SQL operations do not run out of
cursors, or come even close. I really am wit's end on this.

Very suspicious.

Find out what linker cc is using!

If it's a GNU ld _delete it_!

> ld: fatal: file /usr/oracle/lib/libocic.a: unknown type, unable to

Do a
file /usr/oracle/lib/libocic.a

and try
cd /tmp
ar -x /usr/oracle/lib/libocic.a
file <one of the extracted object files>

I guess I'm not the only one thats done this, but DBI/DBD-Oracle builds under
Solaris x86/Oracle Workgroup Server (7.1.4). I had to use a proc.mk from a
Solaris (sparc) distribution, since my evaluation version of Oracle doesnt
include it. I also had to comment COMPOBJS= $(COMPOBJ)/__fstd.o in the
Makefile.
With a newer, production version of Workgroup server, does it build out of the
box?
John

-R is Solaris specific. LD_RUN_PATH is SVR4 generic.

Once again, since you didn't *all* the log I can't see if MakeMaker
said "Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: /scratch/local/lib".

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

It's a MakeMaker bug. Try this patch:

*** Liblist.pm.prev Thu Jul 11 15:42:43 1996

Upgrade GCC first if at all possible. Many people have reported odd
problems which have gone away after using a newer GCC (your perl will
probably go faster as well).

You could try

perl Makefile.PL -s osnptt

and send me anything 'interesting' it says.

I'm unlikely to do anything before you've upgraded gcc though.
Sorry, that's life.

Thank you, Mr. Bunce!!!

This was indeed the problem. I had been storing a copy of the cursor
as an instance variable in my server object, and apparently I'm
leaking references to the server object. I'm a little annoyed that at
this, but who can I blame but myself? Because of the extra
references, DBI/DBD was too smart to actually close the cursor, I
surmise.

I'm now using a file-scope global to refer to the current open cursor,
and--voila!--no leakage of references. And now the cursor is nicely
closed when I explicitly close it.

Many thanks to Mr. Descartes for the script/suggestion to examine
v$open_cursors as the SYS account so that I could watch in real-time
my cursory habits. :-) Without this, I could not verify the problem
nor the fix.

On to my next challenge...

Gratefully yours,

Subject: problems installing DBD on SOlaris 2.5
Reply-to: Ashish Gupta <[email protected]>

I have installed perl 5.003 using gcc 2.7.2 as the compiler.
Then installed DBI 0.71 that seems to run the test successfully.
We have recently installed Oracle 7.3.2.1 (however the DBD install
does not seem to get that far).

I get the following errors when trying to instal DBD 0.36.

Sequence of commands:
make realclean
perl Makefile.PL
make

"make" results in the following (complete) trace:

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

Please suggest what might be wrong that is causing the above. Some of
the options being passed to gcc are illegal (like -K). Editing them
does not resolve the problem.
Thanks much.

I'm having the same problem Melanie and Mike are having -- make test
fails on Solaris 2.5, Oracle 7.3, after the first 3 tests.

Tim has posted two patches for this problem, but neither has fixed
or changed the make test output.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Long lines are a pain.

Okay, how about this... re-implement your ODBC code as a DBD. Use the DBD::DB2
module as a guide (DB2's interface is very close to ODBC's).

Once it's working as a DBD we can look at tighter integration into the DBI.

Interested? (I know a few hundred people who'd be very grateful :-)

All I ask is that you licence the code on the same terms as Perl itself

Tim.

That's great!

I've started the first few steps writing a perl extension for a lean
mean inexpensive database called Solid (see www.solidtech.com), which
uses ODBC as its native API.

I think it's time to participate in the discussion about the future of
the DBI.

In the mean time, would you be willing to share your work? That would
help me a great deal (the NT ODBC stuff doesn't seem to be written in
XS, just raw C++, which makes it a bad starting point).

Bart.

Those options are stored in Config.pm when perl was built. The fact
they are not gcc options indicates that you have not properly installed
a perl which was built using gcc.

You need to build extensions with the same compiler as perl. It doesn't
matter which compiler (within reason).

Tim.

Greetings! folks.

Finally I got the Oracle7.3 software on my workstation
(NEC EWS4800/310PX CPU=Mips R4000, OS=svr4.2), I'd like

I downloaded both DBI-0.71 and DBD-Oracle-0.36. But I
can't make DBD-Oracle-0.36.

Hi there (again),

I'm in the process of tracking down a problem with (ora)perl scripts
that use command substitution (``) or open on a command with a pipe
(open(CH, "cat /etc/passwd|").

It seems as though, at times, the data does not come back up the pipe.
There is a possibility that somehow the parent is getting a death
of a child signal (or maybe some other signal) and the data does not

Have you heard anything like this?

I'm running this on a HP/UX - 10.10 with perl-4.035 and oraperl on top of it.

Because 'oracle.mk' isn't the correct Makefile you should be referencing.
There is, believe it or not, a reason why we try and automate the make process.
It's to stop people messing about with things.

Now, try this:

find $ORACLE_HOME -name 'proc.mk' -print

and see if it returns anything. If it does, follow the instructions in the
README. If it doesn't, install Pro*C.

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

There's something fishier going on here than just the wrong make file.

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

So as long as DBI/DBD requires proc.mk, you will run into this (small) problem.

Subject: Oraperl LONG insert question...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Just a quick and simple question...

What is wrong with the following:

$sth = $lda->prepare ("INSERT INTO bulletins
VALUES (:1, bulletin_seq.nextval, :2, SYSDATE,
:3)")
or &HtmlDie ("Error submitting data", $ora_errstr);
&ora_bind ($sth, '$Q::head_code', '$Q::title', '$Q::content');
$attrib{'ora_type'} = 23;
$sth->bind_param (3, '$Q::content', \%attrib);
$sth->execute or &HtmlDie ("Error submitting data", $ora_errstr);
$sth->finish;

My main objective is to bind the third paramater as an Oracle LONG type.

A couple of problems in there. Firstly, you're mixing the oraperl and DBI
interfaces to Oracle. The 'ora_bind' is equivalent to the 'execute', so the
'ora_bind' call is actually inserting your data into the database. Second, if
you use 'bind_param', you need to use it for all three bound values.

You should be able to insert LONG values using 'execute' or 'ora_bind' without
explicitly setting the type attribute. It's only RAW and LONG RAW values that
require the use of 'bind_param', so something like:

$sth = $lda->prepare ("INSERT INTO bulletins
VALUES (:1, bulletin_seq.nextval, :2, SYSDATE, :3)") or die ...;
$sth->execute($Q::head_code, $Q::title, $Q::content) | die ... ;

should work. Alternatively, you can bind each of your values using 'bind_param'
and call 'execute' with no parameters.

Ciao,

AndyB

I have already written a alpha ODBC Extension interface with core support
(and will provide it to the public soon). Anyone who knows the ODBC API
can use this to access the iODBC Driver Manager from perl. Because it is
so much like the C-iODBC API it isn't very perlesque. That is where the
ODBC DBD could come in. Once the ODBC Extension Interface is working
well, I could write the DBD. What do you think of this?

It's not related to explain plan. Any time you prepare a statement with
question marks or :name in comments you will probably get this problem.

Call it a mis-feature!

Help!!!

I am quite new to Informix and also to DBI/DBD, but I am giving it a
try anyway...

I am running Sun Solaris 2.5, perl 5.002, DBI 0.69, and Informix 7.1
(to the best of my knowledge).

I downloaded DBD-Informix-0.20pl1 and was successful in creating a
makefile and running the 'make install'. Where I am running into problem
is in trying to run the test.pl script. Each time I run the script I get the
following error:
not ok: Database not found or no system permission.
Database handle DBI::db=HASH(0xcd414) DESTROY ignored - never set up.
Testing: $drh->connect( 'dbhost', $dbname, 'dbuser', 'dbpass' ):

I attempted changing the test script to use valid host, db, user, and password
information and still received the same error message. I attempted to chase
down the error and found that the script died in the connect method in
Informix.pm. Specifically when it calls 'DBD::Informix::db::_login(...)'.

I do not know if this problem is a configuration related problem, or if I am
missing something, or what... I would appreciate any help you can provide
in resolving this problem.

Thanks in advance.

You need DBD::Oracle.

Well, it implies the user you are runing the script as has no permissions
within the database you're attempting to connect to. Either that, or the
database you've given in doesn't exist.

The hostname, username and password arguments are dummy. The 2nd one in
the connect string ( marked $dbname in the test.pl script ) is the only
one that makes any difference. Try connecting to the database using dbaccess
and see what happens.

Hello, I have used oraperl for about a year now on our Powerstation 570

manually link -bI:/home/oracle/product/7.1.4/lib/mili.exp for it to
compile and I noticed that the bugreport wanted to know how to automize
future installations, so here it is:

The solution was to just run ld myself-- and everything worked fine.

Thank you all for such a useful tool -- it has been of great use to our

Subject: Problems with Oraperl on DBD-Oracle 0.36
Content-Length: 868

I have run across some problems using the Oraperl emulation on DBI 0.71 +
DBD-Oracle 0.36. I'm trying to fetch rows containing LONGs using

$ora_long = 512;
$cursor = &ora_open($lda, SQL);
while (@row = &ora_fetch($cursor)) {
$cursor->blob_read(0, 0, $row[1], \$blob);
... print the row in some file ...
&ora_close($cursor);

from which I get after a while

Warning: ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel (DBD: oflng
error)

just before I get an

ora_close: 3114: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE (DBD: ocan error)

Any ideas why this might be happening?

The Oracle version is 7.1.6.2.0 on Solaris 2.4 with Perl 5.003

Still no solution to the above -- I've looked at LIBHOME, to make sure
proper linking is set up by MakeMaker (it is), and that osnptt is actually
in the osntab.o library.

Is there anything else I can look at?

Check the order of parameters for blob_read. The way I have used it (successfully)
is:

$offset = 0;
$chunksize = 10000;
$buf = $cursor->blob_read(row[0], $offset, $chunksize);

Note that I've had problems reading a LONG when it wasn't the first element of the
returned row (i.e. row[0]). Note also that you never get back more than $chunksize,
so if you're LONG is larger, you have to loop. I used:

$buf = $sh->blob_read($row[0], $offset, $chunk);
while (length($buf) == $chunk) {
$offset += $chunk;
$blob .= $buf;
$buf = $sh->blob_read($row[0], $offset, $chunk);
}
$blob .= $buf;

Ciao,

Subject: Making DBD::Oracle, linking with __fstd.o
Cc: [email protected]
From: [email protected]

I'm still having trouble making DBD::Oracle, transcript below.
I think that linking with $ORACLE_HOME/lib/__fstd.o, as the
README says, might help, but I'm not sure how to make this
happen.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Why? I don't have sperl or suidperl installed here so I don't see the
need to upgrade to 5.003 (from 5.002). What problems will be caused by
changing the require from 5.003 to 5.002? I've taken a look at the
patch list from 5.002 to 5.003 and see no compelling reason to
upgrade.

I'm running Debian Linux, and just upgraded to the perl 5.003
package. perl -v states:

This is perl, version 5.003 with EMBED
built under linux at Jul 1 1996 10:21:20
+ suidperl security patch

GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5.0 source kit.

OK.. now when I rebuilt DBI .71, all was well, but when I tried
the mSQL module, I get:

users~/DBD-mSQL-0.60pl10> perl Makefile.PL

Can't continue after import errors at Makefile.PL line 12

Where do I look to try to fix this?

Just delete "%att" where it appears in Makefile.PL. It's not needed at
all.

You and me, both. I'm using Oracle 7.3, and am getting a
similar error. So far I've gotten no response on the matter
from anyone on this list, but I remain hopeful. :)

Anyway, you're not alone.

Hi, Tim et al.
Can anyone suggest why I can't compile DBD-oracle-0.36.
0.35 compiled OK as far as I remember and it certainly works fine. The
errors from the make (and perl -V) are listed below:
Thanks

So don't.

You have the choice. It's not a dictatorship :-)

You'll need to edit all files that say 'require 5.003' but you'll find
that I'll be reluctant to support you if you have any subtle problems
since it's a free service and I can't afford the time.

You have the choice.

Tim.

Actually, some of us don't have the choice. Once you have an entire lab using
Perl 5.002 and it works, the sys admin doesn't always want to upgrade to 5.003
to support maybe one small feature that might cause everything else to
break...

I'll also add to my previous note that Perl5.002 had a very serious bug
with basic maths. I forget the details but I think $x < 1 and $x < 1.0
could return different results! I do strongly recommend an upgrade.

So you have the choice to not use 5.003 as I explained.

Looks like a GCC configuration problem. It's generating assembly code
that the assembler it's then calling doesn't understand.
I can't help much more than CC'ing this to perl5-porters. Sorry.

Subject: DBD-Informix: Getting column names from a cursor object
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 15:33:27 -0500
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

Is it possible to obtain column names from a cursor object after having executed a
select statement?

Here's the snippet of code that works in Oracle but doesn't in Informix:

$drh = DBI->install_driver( xxx );
$dbh = $drh->connect( ... );
$cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select * from some_table" );
$cursor->execute();
@fieldnames = @{$cursor->{'NAME'}};
print "fields = @fieldnames\n";

If I run it in Oracle, the @{$cursor->{'NAME'}} returns an array of
string representing the column names. If I run it in Informix and try
to print the contents of the array, I get a segmentation fault core dump.

Is the {'NAME'} attribute specific to Oracle? If it is, are there any plans
to support it in Informix?

Any insight would be very much appreciated...

Hi,

I currently have perl 5.001 installed in solaris
and I was wondering if there is something I can download that
will take perl 5.001 rather than perl 4.0 or perl 5.003?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: building perl5.003...

I've had nothing but trouble trying to build the ODBM_File stuff for perl
5.003. Test 2 fails, saying there's no open database. My question -- do I
need the ODBM_File extenstion in order to use dbd::oracle and dbi?

I'm just beginning to take a look at this, and I'm not sure yet exactly how
all the pieces fit together. If I don't need ODBM_File for my Oracle work,
I'm happy to live without it. Thanks for any hints.

- Phil

In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 16 Apr 1996 08:51:31 -0100." <[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.

Subject: Speed improvements by fetchall
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

I'm using DBI and DBD:Oracle for some days now and all works fine, but
I'm a little bit disappointed by the speed performance.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wxs

my $driver = DBI->install_driver('Oracle');
my $db;
$db = $driver->connect( ... , ... , ...);

my $select = $db->prepare("select the_column from the_table");

$select->execute;

my $elem;
my $n_elems;
while($elem = $select->fetchrow){
print $elem."\n";
}
$select->finish;

$db->disconnect;

takes 6'30'' on a table of ~ 15000 items, it means an order of magniture
more than in a terminal based db interface. Is there any solution to
improve the performance?

I found a reference to the funtion &db_fetchall in the DBI specs, but I
can't find this function in my distribution. Is it just a subroutine
implemented using the db->fetchrow function or something which will
improve performance in huge selects.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

[sample code and comments deleted...]

You may find that most of the performance penalty is because of
start-up and connection costs (ie loading the drivers and connecting to
Oracle ) especially if you are doing this over a network.
To find out if that is the case, change your script to just connect
to the database, print something out and then exit. If it is almost
as slow as it was when you were trying to do some work then the problem
is start-up and connection costs....

One way we have found to deal with this problem with very good results
is to turn your perl script into permanently running server process(es)
which has all the drivers loaded and the connection with Oracle established.
To speed things up even further you could also have all your perl application
code already loaded which may include prepared cursors etc...

Setting up servers is not exactly trivial but if speed is important it is
a way to achieve much better results. Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Nikos.

Start afresh with a clean copy of the latest version and send details
of any problems you get _without_ hacking the Makefile*'s.

Include all the details the README asks for _without_ editing.

Thanks for the information.

Try this Makefile.PL patch (on the latest version) to automate it:

*** 1.46 1996/07/10 02:27:52
--- Makefile.PL 1996/07/23 17:53:54
***************
*** 82,87 ****
--- 82,89 ----
# extract object files, keep for use later
my @linkwith_o;
push @linkwith_o, $1 while $linkwith_s =~ s/(\S+\.[oa])\b//;
+ # also extract AIX .exp files since they confuse MakeMaker
+ push @linkwith_o, $1 while $linkwith_s =~ s/(-bI:\S+\.exp)\b//;

if ($::opt_s) {
warn "Searching for symbol '$::opt_s' in $libhome ...\n";

Let me know if it works.

Tim.

I'm trying to get the Informix dbd running on Irix 5.3. When the shared
library is accessed, it is referencing a nonexistent symbol called MeAlloc.
I can't find the reference anywhere. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
I thought we had Informix version 6, but dbaccess says version 7.something.
I configured it for both and got the same results.

For the implementer: I had to put in declarations for dbd_db_FETCH()
and dbd_db_readblob() into Informix.c prior to their uses. (Which
actually needs to be done in Informix.xs but I have no idea what kind of
a file that is -- putting a C declaration in it didn't work.)

TIA for any assistance.

The following code snippet refuses to insert LONG RAW larger than 2000

---cut---
local($prepare) = <<EOF;

local(%attrib);
$attrib{'ora_type'} = 24;
$sth->bind_param(1, $FORM{'carnet_text'}, \%attrib)

$sth->execute
|| printf "unable to execute (%s)!\n", $lda->errstr();
---cut---

"ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG
column (DBD: oexec error)" is the error I get when I insert something
bigger than 2000 chars. I thought that the whole point of using long
raws was that you could insert things larger than 2000 chars. Am I
doing something wrong?

I'm using DBI-0.71 and DBD::Oracle 0.36 with Perl 5.002.

Everything worked fine with the patch.

Hi, Tim:
I've been looking for ways to access Oracle7 running on a web
server. I'm very interested in finding out more about DBD::oracle's
features (strengths and weaknesses). One of my colleagues actually
implemented an application using Oracle's WebServer version 1 and
find it to be unacceptable. Oracle just released their new Web
Request Broker info:
http://www.oracle.com/promotions/intranet/

Can you give me some insight as to the future directions of DBD::oracle?

Thanks in advance.

This patch should fix the problems some people have been having building
DBD::Oracle for Oracle 7.3.x (I've now got 7.3.2 myself so I was able to
look into it in more detail).

$edit{COMPOBJS} = q{

All it does is add CCFLAGS, OPTIMIZE and LD to the list of macros
that should not be copied into the DBD::Oracle Makefile.

Please let me know how it works for you, ASAP.

Thanks.

Suck it and see. Details at http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI.

Directions? Onwards and upwards :-)

Seriously though... I intend to implement a row cache for improving select
performance and better support for PL/SQL (stored procedures etc) in the not
too distant future (a couple of months - give or take a couple of months).

Subject: $cursor->fetchrow

Hello...

If there is *anybody else out there* having trouble getting
"select" statements to return specified rows, please reply!!

Using DBI::Informix with a Version 7 Informix database, the
$cursor->fetchrow command knows how many rows to return, but
will not return their contents. I don't understand this problem
because the module can connect, insert, and delete with ease.
Selects are broken...

# DBI 0.69, Perl 5.002
================
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;
=================
==============================================
$cursor->debug(2) results expecting five rows:
==============================================
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?

Thank you...

What machine and operating system are you using? I'm using perl5.002 on an SGI
Indy running IRIX 5.3, and I do not get the above results. In fact, all tests
respond GOOD, just like your output for perl5.003.

That's not to say I won't upgrade to perl5.003. But. perhaps the bug you see
is not as widespread as you think.

Subject: DBD-Oracle woes.
To: [email protected]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII

I'm having a problem inserting a pretty long (~30k) string into
a 'long' field in an Oracle database. I'm using DBI-0.71 and
DBD-Oracle-0.36, and here's the message that I'm getting:

-----

ORA-01704: string literal too long (DBD: possibly parse error at characte
r 79 of 69875 in 'INSERT INTO dlrPages (id, page_num, free_text) VALUES
(3961041381389300, 3,'<center> this would be a lot more data in a real insert
but I've shortened this message for brevity </center>')

-----

NOTE: The messaage was shortened for brevity. The free_text field
is intended to hold all of the text needed to construct an
HTML page, so can get pretty long.

where the table looks something like this:

id = number
page_num = integer
free_text = long

Is there any other way that I could insert this information into the
database? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know off-hand but it certainly affects enough systems to be a major
problem. Many people have reported it to perl5-porters over recent months.

I've successfully inserted LONG and LONG RAW values up to about 10k, but it's a
bit hard to tell you what's going wrong without seeing your code. You might find
that you need to use placeholders in your INSERT clause and explicitly bind the
values using 'bind_param'. I've also found that Oracle prefers to see a LONG or
LONG RAW first in any column list.

Tim Bunce,
Hi, I was trying to access an Oracle DB via the
web.
While reading comp.infosystems.webauthoring.cgi I
came
across your database interface, and also somebody
suggested using CGI.pm from http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/pub/software/WWW/
as the front end for HTML Forms.

I would appreciate if you could answer the
following
questions:
(1) Do you see any problems with this combination.
(2) On dowloading version 0.71 of your software the
README suggested that the software is going to
undergo
a dramatic change and you are contemplating a
connection
using ODBC? So is it that the current software
should
not be used, and we might wait or look for some
other
solution? What is the confidence level of the
Software?
(3) I tried to use JDBC as a connection method, and
got a JDBC driver from weblogic. I am a little bit
confused as to the approach to take. Is Java/JDBC a
superior method to the current CGI/Script methods?
I can see that they have classes like Connection,
ResultSet. There was a memory problem with the
weblogic
driver, and I am still debating which way is really
better for short term.
I would appreciate if you could give me some of
your
thoughts on item 3.

Anyway thanks a lot for taking the time to put out
the
DBI software.

regards,
-Ven

Subject: support for blobs in DBD::Oracle

I would like to use DBD::Oracle as a DB loading tool, however,
I've encountered the same 2000 character limit on INSERT/UPDATE as
some other users. It seems there is a need for a blob_write function
to overcome this. Are there already plans to address this or should I go
write my DB tool in (ugh) Pro*C ? Thanks

David,

The code is for copying tables in a generic fashion, and so has lots of irrelevant
things in it. I've attached what I think are the relevant bits. Note that although
this code doesn't depend on it, LONG RAW columns are always first in select and insert
lists.

Ciao,

David,

If you are explicitly binding the type, you don't need to convert to hexidecimal.

I've successfully inserted LONG RAW values into a table using similar code, but all
of my values were explicitly bound using 'bind_param', and the LONG RAW value was
the first column listed in the insert clause. I've found that Oracle prefers to
see LONG RAW columns first in a select clause (and haven't yet checked for insert).

Let us all know if you work it out.

Ciao,

AndyB

I should add that the code has worked successfully for LONG and LONG RAW values of about
10k (some larger I think). I don't convert any data to hexideximal for
insert---everything is as-retrieved from the database.

David,

> what could the values of $clauses{names} and $clauses{places}
> look like? Sames for @types ?

'names' is just a comma-separated list of column names, e.g.

ID, NAME, DATE

'places' is a comma separated list of placeholders (I use just the '?'
character). In some cases there is a function in there, for example:

?, ?, TO_DATE('DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SI', ?)

Hi,

I am having trouble building DBD-Informix-0.20pl1 on AIX 3.2.5.

The first problem is that the informix libraries are completely
different from the ones in Makefile.PL:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 388138 Feb 15 1971 fglc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 223230 Feb 15 1971 fglc2
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 116397 Feb 15 1971 lib4gl.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 314267 Feb 15 1971 libfesql.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 498177 Feb 15 1971 libnforms.a
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root informix 1240510 Feb 15 1971 sqlexec
-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 55964 Feb 15 1971 sqlexecd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 300186 Feb 15 1971 sqlrmsoctcp

Alse, .ec files are compiled with 'c4gl' instead of 'esql'.

I hacked Makefile.PL to use the above libraries, and changed 'c4fl' to
'esql'.

However, it still doesn't work. 'Allocate descriptor' gives a syntax error.
Isqlperl worked, but that does't use 'allocate descriptor'.

We have Informix-4GL version 4.10.UD3.

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.

Howdy,

I don't think you will be able to get this to work with Informix 4.
There are features (such as allocate) which are used which only appear in
Informix 5 and later. If I am wrong please let me know because we have
Informix 4 and would love to use dbperl as well!

Bill

Hi TIM
On my machine HP,HPUX 9.0, Oracel 7.2.3 I have installed PERL 5.003 with
the packages DBD-Oracle 0.36 and DBI-071.
The installation is gone fine and the tests seems to me to have positiv
results.
The only problem: when I call install_driver I get the following error:
install_driver(Oracle) failed: can't find loadable object for module
DBD::Oracle in @INC ( /usr/local/lib . . . )
What did I wrong ? have I to install something else ?
Thank you in advance.
Reinhard

How about recompling your perl5003 with dynamic loading flag "Y" ?. I had the same
problem on Solaris 2.5, Sun Sparc 20.

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me out with a small question. I need to
know the syntax to connect to a remote Oracle server from a webserver.
Previously the webserver and the oracle database were always on the same
machine, so the below statements would work, but now we are moving the
database to another machine, so that the webserver and the database will
be on seperate machines, and I am not clear on what the syntax to connect
the two machines might be. I have tried all of the combinations that I
thought would work to no avail, and this does not seemed to be covered in
the faq.

TIA & TFSMB (Thanks For Saving My Butt!) ;)

Sigh. How many times must I post the message describing how to unsubscribe?

This is _not_ the way.

Subject: Connect to remote DB: Supported?

I'm new to this list so forgive me (and redirect me) if this
is the wrong place to post.

We are looking at the new Empress Perl interface which
utilizes DBI-0.70. Apparently, it does not support connect
to a remote DB.

Is this part of the DBI specs or is this just currently
inhibited in the (beta) Empress Perl solution.

Please advise. Thanks.

So many novice users do this, that it seems potentially useful to build
a filter into any email list software like listserv or majordomo that
checks for the word unsubscribe on a line by itself and than unsubscribes
that person. I know it's not 'right' or 'elegant', but I'd still love
to see it happen. The user might even get a message explaining why
they were unsubscribed.

No luck; got exactly the same error messages. I'll be happy to repeat these
error messages if needed. Using Solaris 2.5.1, Oracle 7.3.2.

I had the same problem with HP/UX 9.03 -- everything compiled and
installed fine, and the tests appeared to run OK. But I got the same "can't
fine loadable object" error that you did. I messed around with file
locations and permissions for a while, but that wasn't it.

What I did notice was a "warning, must compile static in HP/UX 9.x" message
during the DBD::Oracle 'make test'. To quote Makefile.PL for DBD-Oracle:

># HP-UX 9 cannot link a non-PIC object file into a shared library.
># Since the .a libs that Oracle supplies contain non-PIC object
># files, we sadly have to build static on HP-UX 9 :(

Then I found in the README file:

>/usr/local/lib/perl5/hpux/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.a

I didn't get that error at all, but when I used the above routine to build a
new version of perl with DBD::Oracle statically linked in, things began to
work OK. Note -- I'm using and testing only Oraperl at the moment, haven't
tried any of the fancy new stuff yet. I'm running an old version of Oracle,
7.0.16. The DBI itself seems to be OK as a dynamically-loading module. I'm
compiling with gcc 2.7.2, using HP's ld linker.

It's not a DBI issue, it's a DBD issue. You need to talk to the
author of the Empress DBD 'driver' module.

Please don't unsubscribe them - it simply perpetuates the idea that that's
the way to do it. Send them (but not the whole list) a polite message
explaining how to unsubscribe.

I'd certainly be grateful!

Subject: DBD::Informix w/out ESQL/C or 4GL Compiler
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have an installation that uses Informix 4GL/RDS, so I have no way to handle
the .ec file which is created during the DBD::Informix installation process.
Is there a way around this short of purchasing ESQL/C or I4GL (the C-compiler
version)? 4GL/RDS does come with the header files and libraries necessary
to generate a customized runner, and most of these are similar to what we had
on our old system where we had I4GL.

Any help would be appreciated, even if the answer is that it cannot be done!

Hi, my name is Diana Duncan of Realogic in Cleveland, OH. I'm trying to
compile oraperl. Perl 5 and the DBI have compiled and tested
successfully, but we are having many problems with oraperl. Please, could
you help?

The oracle version we are using is 7.3.2.1, and the Solaris is version 2.5
The gcc is version 2.7.2
uname is SUNOS sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

Delete the directory tree, unpack a fresh copy, apply the patch first
and then try again. If you still get problems then please send (just) me
your Makefile.PL and Makefile along with the build log.

On the box that has the web server, you will have to have sqlnet
and the tcp/ip adapter installed. Then, before you do the
connect, you have to setenv TWO_TASK orasid where orasid is the
real SID for your database instance.

Usually caused by forgetting to make install.

Sometimes caused by it being installed into the wrong location owing
to a misconfigured perl.

Prior to the installation, everything was working [mostly] fine. Anyone
have any ideas?

No idea. Delete the DBI tree and start over, if it still fails then
post the information that the README asks you to post.

Sorry, it was perl 5.003, DBI-0_71 and msql-1.0.16. We've since backed

Thought I'd try again...

----------------------------
Hi,

Is it possible to obtain column names from a cursor object after having executed a
select statement?

Here's the snippet of code that works in Oracle but doesn't in Informix:

$drh = DBI->install_driver( xxx );
$dbh = $drh->connect( ... );
$cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select * from some_table" );
$cursor->execute();
@fieldnames = @{$cursor->{'NAME'}};
print "fields = @fieldnames\n";

If I run it in Oracle, the @{$cursor->{'NAME'}} returns an array of
string representing the column names. If I run it in Informix and try
to print the contents of the array, I get a segmentation fault core dump.

Is the {'NAME'} attribute on the cursor specific to Oracle? If it is, are there
any plans to support it in Informix?

Any insight would be very much appreciated...

This is getting further & further off topic, but I've always liked the
solution of unsubscribing them from the list in question, and then
subscribing them to the Newbie List From Hell. I think there used to
be such a thing: a list whose entire traffic consists of clueless
people trying to unsubscribe themselves. Most fail miserably, despite
the fact that the instructions for unsubscribing are sent with every
message.

Apply the Makefile.PL patch I posted recently. Basically edit Makefile.PL
and change the line that looks much like this:

my @edit = qw(SHELL CC CFLAGS CCFLAGS OPTIMIZE ASFLAGS RCC
LD LDFLAGS AR ECHO EXE OBJS);

so that it looks exactly like this (e.g., add in the new words).

Please let me know if that works for you. It should.

Tim.

Informix 4 is *not* supported by DBD::Informix, and, unless someone else
rewrites part of the driver, never will be.

Of course, just to throw in my standard "be-rude-to-questioner" statement,
why do you think it says [5/6/7] when asked for your version number? 8-)

Taking this one step further :
Is there any reason why DBD should'nt support Oracle remote database =
links,
typically I use this for table joins accross databases.

Subject: Running DBD-Oracle compiled under SunOS on Solaris
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Since none of our Oracle machines are running Solaris, I compiled
DBD-Oracle on a SunOS4.1.4 box, and tried to run it under Perl5.003 on
a Solaris5.3 box. I was hoping that this would work, as I compiled
oraperl for perl version 4 this way, but as you can see below, it
didn't. Is there any way to get around this provlem, or to get a
version that has already been compiled for Solaris?

That looks like you've built it using Perl5.002 or earlier and you're
running it on Perl5.003. Use the same version of perl on both systems.

Hello,

I'm using DBI/DBD-Oracle at my site to answer queries from the
Web, and since I get quite a few connections (more than 2000
hits/hour), I think there's is some overhead in the login/log-off
phases (bench marked at 1 to 1.5 seconds) for each of these connections,
and I don't mention the memory overhead for each of these connections
(Oracle is such a memory hog).

I know that Oracle has partly solved the problem with their
WebServer 2.0 technology, by using PL/SQL, but the problem is that I
hate PL/SQL, and comparing it to Perl is like comparing a potato with
a Ferrari.

At first, I thought that I could write some sort of
socket-based server in Perl that would connect to the DB, and then
sits there and wait for SQL queries from clients. However,
socket-based communication is not very fast, and even slower when we
include "handshaking" between the client and the server.

Next, I thought about SysV-IPC, but I'm not too familiar with
that stuff. Would it be a good idea? Is there anyone out there with
some sort of solution that is faster than the simple
connect/query/process/log-off cycle?

...David

Howdy,

Was that version of perl used to compile dbperl? Or was it compiled for
Solaris? All of these things are layered on top of the previous one. If
you have changed the base - using Solaris perl - then the pile falls
apart.

"socket-based communication is not very fast" only if done badly.

Subject: Problems finding executable after Make
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------421B3F43370"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Attached are the Makefile that the Makefile.PL created (THANK YOU!) ,
the log of the make install, and the perlloc.pod file. Our problem is
not the compile any more the fix to the Makefile.PL file worked
wonderfully and the firest time, our problem is the make does not create
an executable that we can find on the system. Are we doing something
wrong? We try these steps.

1) perl Makefile.PL
2) make
3) make test (Works fine!)
4) make install

then we do a find / -name oraperl and come up with nothing.

Thank you for your respone on 7/25/96 it was greatly appreciated.
HELP!!!

Subject: DBD 0.36 build errors under AIX4.1
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII

I am currently running AIX4.1 on a Motorola 604 box and have
Oracle 7.3.2.1 on it, along with gcc2.7.2 and perl5.003. I've got
SQL*Net V2 and the tcp/ip adapter protocol up and running fine on the
database and the listener is accepting remote connections from select
outside sites properly. However, when I went to build DBI 0.71 and
DBD 0.36 (the only two versions that I know of which support Oracle 7.3.x
and its Pro*C libs), I was able to successfully build the DBI, but
received a fatal error during the 'make test' of the DBD 0.36 build and
the process does a core dump. Everything appeared to be fine up to
this point (including the entire DBI build and the first two stages of
the DBD build). Here's what it looks like:

# make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

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

Who ever said it would be called oraperl?

If you look at what the build is doing you'll see that it's
creating a binary called 'perl' in the current directory.

: "socket-based communication is not very fast" only if done badly.

Well, I have a problem with socket-based communications. It's
not directly related to the socket themselves, but to the fact that to
be performant, you need to fork the server to process each client in a
timely and elegant manner. Now, this is not really a problem by
itself, but when I connect to the DB at the start of my program, it
doesn't seems to me that Oracle likes to be called from the same
connection by multiple subprocesses. E.g. (in perl-pseudo-code):

my $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' );
my $dbh = $drh->connect( 'socom', 'xxx', 'yyy' );
die unless $dbh;

# ... create socket code ...

while(!terminated) {
while(accept()) {
spawn session_handler;
}
}

$dbh->disconnect;

sub session_handler {
# ... some session-related code ...

my($sth) = $dbh->prepare($q);
$sth->execute;
my(@t) = @{$sth->{'NAME'}};

while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow ) {
# ... fetching ...
}

$sth->finish;

# ... end of session-related code ...
}

Now, this works the first time, however, the second time I get the
following error: "ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure (DBD: oopen
error)". Is this because the $dbh handle can't be shared across the
childs? I don't want to create a new connection for each childs,
since the whole point of doing this was to save connections and
Oracle-instances.

What do I need to do?

After doing a make clean edit your Makefile.PL so the @edit= line
looks like this:

my @edit = qw(SHELL CC CFLAGS CCFLAGS OPTIMIZE ASFLAGS
RCC LD LDFLAGS AR ECHO EXE OBJS);

and try again.

Please follow what the README says when reporting problems.

Tim.

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

..which won't work anyway.

If you're worried about runaway queries you can always alarm() them.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.37 (Oraperl 1.28), 25th July 1996

Fixed Makefile.PL for Oracle 7.3.2.
Fixed $num_fields = ora_fetch($csr) before first fetch for
queries with bind vars.
Fixed occasional core dump on global destruct.

It's probably not worth upgrading unless you have a problem.

Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual. Will get to CPAN in due course.

Tim.

DBD-Oracle 0.36
Perl 5.003 (with DBI 0.71 installed just fine)
AIX 4.1.4 on RS/6000
IBM's XlC C Compiler
Oracle 7.2.2
I have SQLNET, Pro*C and TCP/IP Adapters installed. The actual Oracle
DB stuff is on a different machine.

I am having compilation problems during 'make'. Basically it fails
after encountering a lot of unresolved typedefs since the header files
it is looking for are not found.

After looking through Makefile.PL I have a few basic questions if
someone can answer them.

Why does Makefile.PL look for oratypes.h and other files? These files
are under the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms directory subtree of Oracle
RDBMS. That means that the Oracle database stuff *must* also be
installed on the machine on which I am trying to build DBD-Oracle.

Why is that required? Afterall, if I have SQLNET etc., should'nt that
be sufficient? To me, requiring rdbms/ seems to mean that DBD-Oracle
can only be built on systems which have the RDBMS installed!

Am I missing something? I am new to Oracle, so pardon my ignorance
there. Some relevent lines from Makefile.PL...

Makefile.PL> # --- What Oracle is installed...

As a general rule, including exclamations marks in subject lines is
a bad idea. It puts people (like me) off.

Because it needs them.

Blame Oracle. Note that the header files are in the 'demo' subdirectory
of rdbms. That says a great deal about Oracle's approach to interfaces.

I recently did the same thing (today, er, yesterday - it's been a very
long day...) and hit the same problem. I copied just the header files
over and DBD::Oracle built okay but would core dump looking up oracle
messages. Since I'm in a big rush I didn't have time to look into it
further so I just mounted the other system and built DBD::Oracle from that
In related work I did fix a core dump that might have been the one I saw
earlier...

So, grab the recently released DBD::Oracle 0.37, copy the header files
you need over from the rdbms/demo directory and give it a go.

If it works let me know. If it doesn't then you'll have to install
more of Oracle till it does.

Tim.

For my compilation of DBD-Oracle/Solaris2.5/Oracle7.2.x(x=2, I think), I
just pulled the required files in the rdbms directory from the Oracle CD.

The files I needed were:

We're doing *exactly* what you describe, and Tim's right: it's only
slow if done badly. I don't know what takes Oracle so long to
connect, but it happens even with raw OCI calls.

I have a server that operates like modern web servers: it manages a
pool of children which connect to a database, respond to a
configurable number of queries, and then exit. The clients are almost
exclusively CGI scripts and direct-connects from the HTTP server, and
I find that response times are more than adequate.

I've tried with 5.003 on both systems now. If ran with a SunOS perl, I get:

Oraperl test application $Revision: 1.21 $
Can't find 'boot_DBI' symbol in ../DBI-0.71/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 2) line 1.

If I run with Solaris perl, I get:

Oraperl test application $Revision: 1.21 $
Can't load '../DBI-0.71/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so' for module DBI: ld.so.1: ../perl/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: __ctype_: referenced in ../DBI-0.71/blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so at /local/www/tools/ub/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 140.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Oraperl.pm line 23.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 2) line 1.

Someone mentioned that the problem could be that perl uses
shared/dynamic objects. If this is the case, it should perhaps be
possible to link something staticaly?

The perl5 SunOS version was compiled on "SunOS 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m",
DBI&DBD was compiled on "SunOS 4.1.4 2 sun4c", and the Solaris perl5
version was compiled on "SunOS 5.3 Generic_101318-59 sun4m sparc"

Subject: Accessing Informix DB from Linux
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 09:12:43 +0100

[slightly off topic - I apologise in advance!]

We're building a DB and application suite based around Informix on
Solaris boxes (using DBI/DBD and Perl).

We'd also like to be able to put some of the peripheral applications
on Linux boxes, but Informix does not make the ESQL/C package
available for Linux, so we can't build a DBD module for perl on there.

Has anyone any solutions for this - or ways round the problem?

Nigel.

You've probably done one or more things wrong along the way.

Having said that I don't think a DBD::Oracle built on SunOS4 will
work on SunOS5.

Does anyone have any sample code of "pool management" that they would be
willing to post?

Hi,
I supporting and old legacy Unify5.0 DBMS and I ran across UNIPERL
written by Rick Wargo. Now I suppose that this is old and may not be
supported anymore. My question deals with missing files. I ran the
makefile included in uniperl-1.0_tar.Z and found that I was missing
useruhli.c and uperl.c. Do you know where I can get these files in
order to make the uniperl executable?
TIA
Bill

Subject: Re: one connection, many "clients"

After re-reading the original message, I realized that my server-pool-
manager daemon was in C, not in Perl. I only have the traditional
fork/serve/exit daemon in Perl. (I'll have to do a version of the
server-pool daemon in Perl since many of my developers prefer Perl,
but I haven't gotten around to it yet.) Be that as it may, I'll post
what I *do* have: C routines for both fork/serve/exit and server-pool
daemons, and a Perl library for fork/serve/exit-only.

I use these routines on Solaris-2.4 (x86 and Sparc) and on SGI
(irix-5.3). The server pool daemon relies on semaphores to keep track
of the number of active servers, so the code won't be of much use on
machines without SYSV-IPC. I got most of the ideas (and some of the
code) for the basic daemon from _Unix_Network_Programming_ (W. Richard
Stevens, ISBN 0-13-949876-1), but I did the server-pool-manager
myself, based on guesses about how httpd works (I was too lazy to
actually look at the Apache or NCSA code).

For those of you who'd rather do it yourselves, it's pretty easy.
There's only a few things you need to do to make a well-behaved
daemon; most of the complexity is a result of trying to do the Right
Thing on different systems. Here's the main things to do:

* chdir( "/" ) -- you don't want to tie up any filesystems with your
cwd.
* ignore or catch signals
* CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR CHILDREN!

Is there any good on-line info on writing CGI scripts to access remote
Oracle Database servers??

Highly appreciate your responses.

Thanx,
Sudheer.

Hi,

I've currently installed DBI0.71 and DBD Oracle 0.36
the installation went well but somehow I can't find an execution
file name "oraperl" anywhere in the server. can anyone tell me
if I'm doing anything wrong? Thanks!

Subject: getting the types of selected columns
From: Ashish Gupta <[email protected]>
X-Actually-From: "Ashish Gupta" <[email protected]>
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 20:41:59 -0700
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

using:
DBI 0.71
DBD::Oracle 0.36
on UNIX - Solaris 2.5.1

I have a select stmnt of the form:

select * from foo

I need to determine the names and types of the returned columns
to enable appropriate handling. The names I am able to get by doing:

$sh = $dbh->prepare{}

and then getting $sh->{NAME}.
Is there some way of getting the corresponding types?

any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ashish

Try $sh->{ora_types}.

This is part of the oraperl interface, so I assume won't work on other
databases.

Is there anywhere I can download a binary of DBD.pm for Sun Sparc

Always the same mistake: You didn't read the README! Why do you think
there should be anything like an oraperl executable?

Think/read about shared libraries and take a look on what happens
after typing `make test'.

Probably, but not just now. Last I heard or read, there hadn't been a
coalesced spec on supporting accesses to metadata. And I don't have the time.

Basically, get someone to precompile dbdimp.ec for you and mail you the
c code. You should probably be able to use that, but I'm not making any
guarantees.

Precompile the dbdimp.ec file on Solaris with ESQL/C, copy the C code to
the Linux box, then compile as per usual. I'm assuming, since you didn't
mention otherwise, that you have the Informix libraries required on Linux.

Thanks for the response, but the Informix view appears to be that
Linux doesn't exist - ie no libraries, nothing! The SCO version
apparently runs on Linux (under IBCS emulation), but since the
libraries are incompatible with Linux ones I can't link to them, and
I don't think I would trust a SCO perl to do things right (even if I
did have a SCO to build on!).

Looks like this idea is sunk :-(

You need to do the same as when munging Oracle stuff from SCO on Linux.
Get hold of idld from a SCO box, and you can link SCO libraries on Linux
in a.out format. That's easy with gcc.

Subject: Perl 5 and Sybase
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi.

I've been reading the mail here, and the archives, and checking many
cross-references and links and FAQs, but I haven't seen anything recent
about Sybase and/or sybperl and Perl 5.

Is there active work on the sybperl DBD?

It seemed to be version 0.01 from many months ago.

Is it realistic for me to try to use Perl 5 as a gateway to a
Sybase database for writing production scripts?

Any pointers on web access to Sybase would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm getting the following errors when running make test on

The connection is refused but I can connect fine using msql from the command

Has anyone had similar problems? Btw, I do not get this error on Linux 1.2.13.
Any help appreciated. Thanks,

Subject: Help building DBD-Oracle for Sol2.5

Please let me know if this is the wrong place for this (politely, if
possible)...

I've already built and installed DBI-0.71, and am trying to build
DBD-Oracle-0.35 (I know there's a newer version).

Specifics for build:

Solaris 2.5
gcc 2.5.6 (old, I know)
sqlnet + ProC from 7.3.2 Oracle CD
perl 5.003

perl Makefile.PL builds the Makefile w/o errors...however, I'm unsure as to
what opts to include for compilation w/gcc. I saw in the readme that
compiling w/gcc under Solaris recommends linking $ORACLE_HOME/lib/__fstd.o.
How do I say this to MakeMaker?

ie. perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc LINKOPTS=-L$ORACLE_HOME/lib/__fstd.o ????

(I'm a relative newbie to some of the more advanced features of perl
makefiles,etc.)

That aside, gcc won't finish the build because I hit:

In file included from Oracle.c:19:
Oracle.h:30: oratypes.h: No such file or directory
Oracle.h:32: ocidfn.h: No such file or directory
Oracle.h:35: ociapr.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Oracle.o'

Where do oratypes.h, ocidfn.h, and ociapr.h come from? I can't find them
in the the ProC dist that my dba installed.

Anyone care to help? Would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Chris

Ok, I'll bite...why not download the newest?

> gcc 2.5.6 (old, I know)
I'll bite again...gcc2.7.2 will build for you out of the box, why not install
it?

This evening, Im going to build DBD-Oracle against my 7.3.2 instance, but I
wont be able to help you because I'll be at the latest releases of gcc and
DBD-Oracle.

Sorry,
John

My DBA also forgot to install the rdbms package completely (specifically,
the stuff under demo), and I had to prod him to do so.

A question of my own: is this the right place for these files? How come
the OCI header files are installed in a `demo' directory?

Later,
Rujith.

Hi friends of databases,

i just start programming perl5 seriously. My project is to
write a CGI-Script that can produce a html formatted report
of an sql view. My hope is that there are modules which support the
report generating this means stuff like before group starts do ...,
after report do (something like Informix-4GL functions, not CGI.pm)

Thanx for help.

Hi,

I am attempting to run the Makefile for DBD-Informix-0.20pl1 and am getting
the errors on compilation of Informix.c.

I am attaching the output from for 'make realclean', 'perl Makefile.PL', and 'make'.
I am also attaching the output of " perl -e 'use Config; print Config::myconfig()' ".
I am using Informix version 7.1, ESQL version 7.20.UC2, and perl 5.02.01.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Subject: finding information on DBD-Oracle interface and function calls
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi Everyone,

I about to embark on my first perl/cgi/oracle project and am trying to
get some info on the DBD-Oracle and/or DBI-0.071 libraries etc..
Specifically, I have found and downloaded the libraries themselves, but
do not see documentation on the function calls and interface etc.
Should I assume that I just use standard calls used in Oracle itself?
This is also my first exposure to Oracle. I suppose what I was hoping
for is a document describing how to go about accessing a database etc.
The actual database that I am dealing with is quite simple so it
shouldn't be too bad.

So to some up everything: where is a good place to start?

I do have "Programming Perl" and "CGI Programming" by O'Riley and have
just recently picked up a book on Oracle but so far haven't seen much on
what I am doing.

thanks,

Chris Conover

Tim -
Let me start by saying that I'm excited about using DBperl to access
our Oracle databases. It is a straight forward, easy to understand
toolkit. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with.
1 - I've successfully downloaded DBI v0.71 and DBD v0.36 and
installed them. I also downloaded the API Specification for DBI. It
seems as though the description of the DBI functions don't match what I
see in examples I've found (e.g. the spec mentions db_connect() whereas
in code I've seen and used object notation $drh->connect(). Is there an
up-to-date specification?
2 - I've successfully loaded the Oracle driver, connected to the
database, and issued a query. But, when perl hits the $dbh-disconnect
statement it complains. The message I get is: Bad free() ignored at
test.pl line 39. test.pl is my perl script.
This script is to pull data from a simple database and display the
results in an html page. I get the above message if I run the script
from the command line. If I try and load the CGI script into my browser
(Netscape Gold 3.0beta), I get a Server Error telling me to look at the
error log. The log says:
failure: for host my.ip.address trying to GET
/cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl, cgi-parse-output reports: the CGI program
/tssg/ns-http/cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl did not produce a valid header name
without value: got line "bad free() ignored at
/tssg/ns-http/cgi-bin/dprice/test.pl line 39.")
The generated HTML looks fine, so I assume that when I get rid of
this error all should work fine. Thanks in advance for any help you can
give me. Below is a copy of my script.
- Dave Price ([email protected])

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;

MAIN:
{
$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = '/data2/oracle/7.2';
$ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} = 'dev03';

$dbh = $drh->connect('dev03', 'dprice', 'meghan');
print "ERROR : Unable to connect to database.\n" unless $dbh;

$cursor = $dbh->prepare("SELECT table_name FROM user_tables");

if (!defined($cursor))
{
print "ERROR : Unable to prepare SQL statement.\n";
die;
}

$cursor->execute;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

There is one other question I meant to ask you in my previous message.

Oracle have a rather sad approach to interface stability.

Umm, ok DBI-0.71/DBD-Oracle-0.37 builds out of the box with gcc2.7.2,
perl5.003, Oracle 7.3.2.2. I do get the "Bad free() ignored during global
destruction." warning. The README shows how to surpress it, but Tim are you
still looking for stack traces? Can someone explain what these Bad Free's
really mean? Has Oracle introduced a memory leak into 7.3.2?
Thanks,

Ok...you badgered me enough! ;-) I got the pre-built gcc2.7.2 from
sunsite.unc.edu. That's now installed.

So, you have any recommend make config for DBD-Oracle-0.37 and gcc under
solaris?

I'm not a build expert, so I think I'm missing a lot of the switches for
the compiler, plus I think the stock Makefile is looking for cc as the
linker. Also, I'm unsure where to put in $ORACLE_HOME/lib/__fstd.o per the
readme.

Chris

I just went through the process of using gcc to install Perl 5.003 and
DBI 0.71, and I ran into the same problem with the "optional language
package not installed" error. I finally stumbled my way through it.
What exactly are you trying to install, gcc, Perl, or DBI, when you're
using the "perl Makefile.PL" command?

Just the DBD-Oracle-0.37 module. gcc, Perl, and DBI are installed already.

Not a leak. They (I think) are calling free with a bad value (probably a null).

I've got purify installed now... but no time to use it. One day soon (ish).
Since I'm using 7.3.2 now the Bad free's are starting to bug me so I'm
more likely to try to do something about it. But it's quite possible, even
probable, that it's an Oracle problem I can't do anything about.

Note that Perl5.003_01 will include a patch of mine which will allow you
to silence perl's malloc via an environment variable. If you want to
you could apply the patch now:

diff -c2 ./malloc.c.2 ./malloc.c
*** ./malloc.c.2 Thu Mar 28 10:17:44 1996

MakeMaker will use whatever compiler and related settings were used to
build perl. You must use the same compiler for perl and any extensions.
For you this may mean rebuilding perl with gcc.

I'm still working on the install...the stock Makefile (ie. generated from
'perl Makefile.PL') wants to use cc instead of gcc. The brain-dead cc is
installed, but "optional language package not installed" so that doesn't
work.

I want to run the make w/gcc, so I'm looking for how to generate the
makefile so it's happy w/gcc instead of cc. Just saying:

perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc

is not enough to generate a good Makefile to make a successful build w/gcc.
What did I just say...?? ;-)

Subject: Informix Module needed

Hello all. I appologize if this question has been answered before but
I am new to the group and could not find the information at the CPAN
sites I visited.

I am looking for the module to interface with Informix
databases. According to the documentation, such a beast exists, but I
cannot seem to locate it anywhere on the ftp sites....

Can someone point me to a specific site which contains the Informix
module or am I hunting for a phantom.

Cheers,

Ken

I suspect that his perl was built with SunC. I guess he'll have to build his

That sounds right to me. I'll bet that the message you see:

Bad free() ignored at test.pl line 39.

is actually going to STDERR (rather than STDOUT) since these two filestreams
are not necessarily in synch with each other (or because your http server is
set up to sniff out anything on STDERR) it is generating the result you see via
the browser.

Depending on what interactive shell you use you could redirect these output
streams and verify my speculation. However, that is no reason that the call to
the $dbh->disconnect; method should cause this trouble. I would look into that
module to see what might be wrong (perhaps add some diagnostic print;
statements). Also, I note that on CPAN the most recent version of DBI is
DBI-0.71.tar.gz and you might want to upgrade to that if you have not already
done so. I have CCed my response to you to the [email protected] list
in the hope that anyone there might be able to assist you further with this
problem.

I don't think the Bad free is anything to fear. I'm happily building a
mission critical system on 7.3.2 (and DBD::Oracle/Oraperl.pm :-) right now.

p.s. The biggest pain was the withdrawl of Sql*Net V1 (yes we had notice
ages ago, but we were to lazy to change to V2 earlier :-).

Sybase DB-Library (aka Open Client), 4.0 or higher

I think I'll stick with my 7.2.3 instance which is nice and stable. I get very nervous about auch work-arounds. Has anyone submitted this bug as a TAR?

It's not doing anything wrong. The problem is in Oracle's code (most
commonly seen in 7.3.2).

It won't make any difference to this problem.

The DBD::Oracle README file (in recent vesrions) talks about how to
suppress the warnings.

Sorry, it's called Sybase not Sybperl. Look in the module list (which
everyone should do before sending mail flying around the globe):

Sybase::
::DBlib RdcO Sybase DBlibrary interface MEWP
::Sybperl Rdpf sybperl 1.0xx compatibility module MEWP
::CTlib bdcO Sybase CTlibrary interface MEWP

It seems these days that there is more and more overlap between
the mod_php and mod_perl projects.

Has there been any hard data gathered regarding performance of
one solution vs. the other? (Speaking in terms of Apache module version)

Are there clear advantages of one over another?

No language religion wars please....just the facts sir/maam

Hopefully ya'll have your duplicate mail shields up. I know
many of you are on all three lists....

Same place as all the others. Any CPAN site (if it's got there yet)
else ftp.demon.co.uk in /pub/perl/db/DBD/Oracle.

Content-Type: text

I have successfully compiled DBD-Oracle-0.37, with DBI-0.71 and Perl
5.003 on AIX 4.1.4. Now when I run 'make test' it fails. I am rather
novice at Oracle, and my gut feeling is that this has something to do
with setting-up environment variables... etc.

But ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set. I have SQLNET and Pro*C on the
system. The db sits on another machine on the network.

What adiitional settings have to be done for 'make test' to succeed?

Subject: DBD-Oracle0.37 build question...

Well finally installed SparcWorks (same compiler that perl was built with),
and ran a build. The build happened successfully, but not without a ream
or two of warns. Does this guy build clean if done right? If so, anyone
care to see the warns I got?

Unable to get make test to finish ok:

>Oraperl Emulation Interface version 1.28

However, a nervous make install and test code works OK. Sooo...any words
of wisdom?

Subject: DBI on SCO 3 with Oracle 7
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Hopefully someone can help me. I am attempting to install the Oracle DBD (version 0.37) for Perl 5 on a SCO 3 machine. I have successfully installed Perl 5 and the DBI interface. I can successfully make the oracle DBD, but during the test I get a unresolved external reference to __fltused as below.

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load './blib/arch/auto/
DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: dynamic linker: /work/skuekes/loca
l/bin/perl: relocation error: symbol not found: __fltused at /work/skuekes/local
/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 140.

I'm so close to getting this to work. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Hi, I have just joined this group and we have just changed over from CA-Ingres
to Oracle. We have many Perl4 and Perl5 scripts and a few ingperl scripts.

We need to develop new systems in oracle. I had heard that DBI/DBD::Oracle was
the way to go but after reading some of the mail I thought I might start out
using oraperl and then convert to DBI/DBD::Oracle later.

What do people think - I want to get some production (prototype) systems up in
about 3 months.

Des Buckmaster

You have set TWO_TASK haven't you?
Try connecting to the database using sqlplus.

Hi,

Does anyone know if "isqlperl 1.2" for Informix can be built using perl5?
The docs say perl4 is required, but I don't really want to install perl4 if
perl5 can be made to work.

TIA,

The README specifically says what info to include in a problem report.
Please send that info together with any 'interesting' output from

Stick to the Oraperl emulation that comes with the DBD::Oracle module.

So, nah.

Anyway, use DBD::Informix. See:

http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI

for more details.

Subject: Help with Oracle DBD problem on SCO 3
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Hopefully someone can help me. I am attempting to install the Oracle DBD (version 0.37) for Perl 5.003 on a SCO 3 machine using the DBI 0.71. I have successfully installed Perl 5 and the DBI interface. I can successfully make the oracle DBD, but during the test I get a unresolved external reference to __fltused as below.

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load './blib/arch/auto/
DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: dynamic linker: /work/skuekes/loca
l/bin/perl: relocation error: symbol not found: __fltused at /work/skuekes/local
/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 140.

I'm so close to getting this to work. I hope you can shed some light on
this.

Following is the debugging information that is requested in the README.

I am running Perl 5.003 and Oracle 7.1.6.

Yes, but limited.

Get the softwares (http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI)

PERL5.0003.tar
DBI-0.71.tar
DBD-Informix-0.20pl1.tar

I have these packages installed and worked on Sun Solaris 2.5, Informix 7.x,
ESQL.7x. I haven't use isqlperl so I can't tell what isqlperl
support. One thing I know, Perl5:Informix interface doesn't support BLOB and
has some bugs in installation scripts.

good luck,

Could you summarize the overlap? I'm still not very familar with mod_php.

Not that I know of.

Well, quoting the php documentation "it is a simple programming language
embedded inside HTML files", "it eliminates the need for numerous small
Perl cgi programs", "This speeds up the overall performance of your web
pages since the overhead of forking Perl several times has been
eliminated".
So, both modules improve performance of dynamic/interactive web documents
by taking advantage of the Apache API and provide an alternative to coding
in C.
Not to start a language war, but one advantage of mod_perl to me is simply
being able to use the Perl scripting language.
To someone else, one advantage of mod_php might be it's scripting language.

It looks like php/fi does lots of great stuff, but as the name
(personal homepage/form interpreter) implies, it provides a solution to a
specific arena.
The perl C modules simply provide a general framework for embedding the
interpreter and providing a Perl interface to the Apache API. Perl modules
and scripts using this interface can then provide more specific
functionality. For example, you could write an Apache module in Perl that
provides functionality similar to php/fi.

I see you've cc'd the dbi list, how do I use dbi from php? Or any perl
module for that matter? How do I write a module in the php scripting
language? I think the answer to these questions is "you can't". This is
fine, just pointing out some differences.

So, unless there is a major difference performance wise, it's hard to say what
the advantages are of one over the other (without starting a language war),
it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Regards,
-Doug

Hi,

DBI and DBD::Oracle and Perl is an attractive solution
to me. The two examples in
http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/examples/index.html
work as well. I also set up Oracle accounts identified
externally and would like to use DBI DBD::Oracle to
connect to these accounts. Can the latest DBI and DBD::Oracle
connect to these accounts so that I don't have to including
password in my Perl script?

Many thanks!

P tries to use $dbh and finds closed the connection associated with $dbh

When C exits, it destroys $dbh as a side effect. Please suggest how
we can avoid having a child destroy its parents database connection
handle.

Using:
DBI - V0.71
DBD:Oracle - 0.36
UNIX SOlaris 2.51

Thanks much.

Ashish

Subject: Oraperl on Perl 5?
Cc: [email protected]

Dear Mr. Descartes,

I am building an application based on the Web and on Oracle. I'd like to use
Oraperl and Perl 5. I've been looking for a version of Oraperl which I can
build and run with Perl 5. I suspect that there is no such version of
Oraperl, that it's buildable only with Perl 4. However, I can't seem to find
anything yet which specifically says that. The closest I've come to this
information is with the Oraperl emulation through DBD::Oracle. Please let me
know if this is the only option available.

I am also sending this request to [email protected] in case the developers
there also may know the answers and may respond sooner than you are able.

I appreciate any response. I have yet to inspect the recent CPAN and other
sources.

Thank you very much,

Sincerely,

Lou Henefeld ([email protected])
Lou Henefeld

Disable the destruction... in the child process do:

*DBI::db::disconnect = sub { };
*DBI::db::DESTROY = sub { };

Untested but should work.

It's a known bug. Listed in the DBD page at Hermetica.

Which leads me nicely onto another topic. Does anyone actually *read* any
of this stuff?

Apologies in advance for sounding ratty, but I've had around 20 queries in
the last 2 days all either in the driver page, or the FAQ!

Can we do something anti-social about new members to the list of giving them
excerpts from the FAQ, or something?

*grumble*

Look at the file called 'test.pl' that comes with the DBD::mSQL module.
There are some commented lines in there that show you how to list databases,
tables and fields.

> I'm also looking for a complete DBI documentation

Look at the FAQ for sources. http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI

Subject: problems with build on Solaris2.5

I can't wait to start using Oraperl again! But first
I have to get the build going.
Here's what's happening...the full output from the build steps are
appended later below.

I am on oracle 7.3.2.1.0, using Perl version 5.002, DBI-0.70, and
DBD-Oracle-0.35, on Solaris 2.5
The DBI installation went without a hitch.
In the DBD install, I am at the step where I do: make test
and it core dumps at &ora_login with
>>
libc internal error: _rmutex_unlock: rmutex not held.
Abort - core dumped
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 134
<<

I saw the note in README about this core dump and the three proposed steps.
I tried #1 and #2 (and #3 seems to have been implemented already; i.e.
no clntsh in the Makefile). Nothing helped.

So, am I hosed? Any help/hint/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Parva
