Subject: DBD Informix install problem... Help!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi all,
I'm new to DBI so this is probably something stupid I am doing.
Please forgive me if it is.

I have a UltraSparc running Sol 2.5.1 and Perl 5.003 and when I try to
install DBD Informix I am getting some strange errors.

The DBI install seemed to go well, only a few warnings.. test and
install completed with no errors..

I'm using gcc to compile it. I have Informix Online Dynamic Server
installed in /illustra/informix .. (long story.. :-)

"onstat" reports : INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.20.UC2
ESQL/C appears to be version 7.2 also (that's what the manual says...)

Here is what happens:

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

# make realclean

rm -f ./blib/arch/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.a
rm -f ./blib/lib/DBD/Informix.pm
rm -rf Makefile Makefile.old

everything is fine here.. hehe

Possibly.

The ORA-01019 sounds like a configuration or build problem.

Tim,

I am a windows programmer stuck on a UNIX project for two months.
We need to use OraPerl. I have looked around but couldn't find
a binary copy of OraPerl. Getting it compiled is a time consuming
job.

We are using Unix system V on SunOS 5.4. Do you know any place where
I can grab binary versions of OraPerl and Perl.

It will be a great help. I will be in your debt.

Thanks sooooooooooooooo much,

Sam Hundal

----- End Included Message -----

Getting it compiled and installed on Solaris typically takes less
than 5 minutes (once you've got a compiler installed :-).

I don't and won't ship binaries. Others in the dbi-users list might.

Tim.

Subject: Announce: DBD-Oracle-0.41 *WITH ROW CACHE*
Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.41 (Oraperl 1.30), 22nd Oct 1996

Added the long overdue row cache to DBD::Oracle.
(Thanks to [email protected] for providing a patch that prompted
me to complete the work.)
Oraperl $ora_cache and cache parameter to ora_open now work.
Default cache size is adjusted automatically for row width.
Major reworking of field buffer memory management.
Added a more internal debugging.
Further updates to the README files.

As a little example of the effectiveness of the cache, a large
script of mine which does lots of large queries across a modem
link now runs 70% faster. (LAN based clients will see an
improvement but generally not _that_ much!)

Although I forgot to add it to the Changes file, I'd classify
this as a beta-level stability release. It should be fine (I've
done quite a lot of testing) but you should always test yourself.

Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual. Should arrive on CPAN in
a day or three.

Tim.

p.s. Astute readers of the source might notice that it's taken
a tiny step towards supporting binding entire arrays. No promises.

Subject: DBD-Oracle-0.35 Installation
Cc: [email protected]

Hi all,

Could anyone help me with the install of DBD-Oracle-0.35.

I am getting errors during the "make" of the DBD-Oracle-0.35 after a "make
realclean"

The output received from "perl Makefile.PL" and "make" are at the end of
this message.

Please note that our oracle installation is in
"/u01/home/dba/oracle/product/7.0.16" but the version of oracle is 7.3.2.1.0

The install of perl 5.003 all went fine running all of "make", "make test"
and "make install"
also the install of DBI-0.73 went fine running all of "make", "make test"
and "make install"

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Just misconfiguration. You build DBI && DBD with other Oracle version
then you run with.
Probably build with 7.2.2.3 and run against 7.3.2.2.
Shared libraries changed.

We only have 7.3.2.1.0 on this machine. Never installed another version here.
No upgrades yet.

I now installed Pro*C, so DBD::Oracle was now built with 'proc.mk'. But still,
I get the same error. Hmmm... I really think that I have tried all hints from
those README* files now, but no luck yet.

Anything else I could try? How to narrow the 'bug search scope'?

Has anyone had this warning message pop up incessantly?

"Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x207f20) destroyed without finish()
at /iago/mnt2/web/httpd/cgi-bin/d3/add line 169."

I am not sure but I think it may be causing memory leaks, and I
cannot figure out how to "finish()" other than with the method I
am already using after an SQL call:

$sth->finish;
undef $sth;

I am using DBI::Informix and Informix v.7 on a Sun. Any advice
is appreciated!

Wild guess:

Did you make all the changes to the Solaris kernel specified in the
Oracle installation guide? If I recall you have to jack up the shared
memory pages, semaphore limits and other stuff. Also, can you run
SQL*PLUS and connect to the test database?

Subject: fields in fetchrow with mSQL
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 17:21:06 +0200
From: Leo Willems <[email protected]>

Hello,

I have a problem with fetchrow (or fetch). The query I do seems to
be ok but when I fetch a row, I only get the last field.

I have been playing around with bind_col et al. but can't figure out
what to do.

If someone is having a simple example that (in pseudo code) does:

select * from table
while(row=fetchrow)
for (fields in row)
print field

(It should work with the mSQL package).

Regards,

Leo

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 17:10:55 +0200

Hello,

Sorry to come back again with this problem. I have now tried all I found
within the README* files, but 'make test' for DBD-Oracle-0.41 (and 0.40)
still fails with

ora_login: 1019: ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side
(DBD:login failed)

I'm now looking for someone who has successfully installed and tested
DBD-Oracle with the following configuration:

Architecture: sun4-solaris
OS: solaris 2.5
Perl: 5.003
Oracle: 7.3.2.1.0
DBI: 0.73
DBD-Oracle: 0.40 (or 0.41)
Compiler: cc (not gcc)

Installation History:

1. Oracle RDBMS incl Pro*C
2. Perl 5.003
3. DBI-0.73 ('make' ok, 'make test' ok, 'make install' ok)
4. DBD-Oracle-0.40/41 ('make' ok, 'make test' fails when trying to login
to oracle)

I would be very thankful for any help: Also hints on what could be done to
try to narrow the search scope: Is it Oracle / Is it DBD-Oracle / ...

Remember, I think I'm really done with the READMEs.

Thanks again for every hint!

Martin

I've no time to investigate but I suspect that DBD-Oracle-0.40 has
a cache related bug that manifests as alternate ora_binds/ora_fetch
pairs returning no data.

Sadly I've a plan to catch so I can't dig deeper right now.

If anyone else does, please try something like this:

open "select 100+:1 from dual"
bind 42
fetch -- returns 142
bind 43
fetch -- returns noting (end of data)

The fix is probably trivial.

Tim.

Yes, we set that up.

Yes, this works. Both without TWO_TASK, or with TWO_TASK set to dbname
(sqlnet v2), and a listener running.

I also installed Oracle Webserver. This also works. The database seems to
run ok, I think.

Now, If all those clients accessing oracle (sqlplus, svrmgr, orawebserver)
on the local machine have no problems, what might be different when oracle
is accessed via DBD-Oracle/DBI? I also made a 'truss make test', but
interpreting that output is probably more suited for system gurus...

Still not happy...

Martin

Subject: Help! Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x17ee90) DESTROY ignored - never
set up
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Do any of you see what I'm doing wrong here??

I keep getting the following error whenever I try to perform an SQL
statement:

Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x17ee90) DESTROY ignored - never set
up at ./movie_insert.pl line 30

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I am using the latest DBI with Perl 5.003 on a Sparc running Solaris
2.5.1

I am using the DBD-Informix-0.24 pkg with Informix 7

HELP!

Here is my code...

-------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN{unshift @INC, "../../lib", "./lib";}
use DBI;

$table = "movies_tb";
$dbname = "movie_db";

@body=();

# read in the movie file into the array @body
open (INFILE,"<normal.txt");
while (<INFILE>){
push(@body,$_);
}
#close while loop
close (INFILE);

# connect to the database
$drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Informix' );
$dbh = $drh->connect( 'dbhost', $dbname, 'dbuser', 'dbpass' );
die unless $dbh;

# Drop the old table
print STDOUT ("Dropping Table\n");
$dbh->do( "DROP TABLE $table" );

# Rebuild an empty table
print STDOUT ("About to build table!\n");
$dbh->do( "CREATE TABLE $table ( area CHAR(20), m0 CHAR(30), chain
CHAR(30), chaininfo CHAR(30), theatre CHAR(30), theatreinfo(30),
screen(45), times (45))"$

print STDOUT ("about to disconnect\n");
$dbh->disconnect;

print STDOUT ("Made it past the disconnect, i'm exiting now!\n");
exit;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remmed out the for loop until I could figure out why the CREATE and
DROP are failing..

Here is the output
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# movie_insert.pl
Dropping Table
Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x17ee90) DESTROY ignored - never set up
at ./movie_insert.pl line 30.
About to build table!
Statement handle DBI::st=HASH(0x17efa4) DESTROY ignored - never set up
at ./movie_insert.pl line 49.
about to disconnect
Made it past the disconnect, i'm exiting now!

Looks like the ora_bind() implementation isn't invalidating the
current cache as it should. Things should look the same following
ora_bind() as they do following ora_open().

I presume this is actually a fix for a "feature" in DBD-Oracle-0.41
and not DBD-Oracle-0.40 ..... but then I am probably way off line?

Hello,
Here is an example from a program I wrote to use mSQL - it demonstrates
one use of fetchrow.

I hope that this helps.

sub access_DB {

=pod

=item access_DB

This subroutine returns the $select'ed fields from the named $DB given
the $where condition. A list of pointers to the rows returned from the
database query is returned to the caller.

=cut

my($DB,$select,$where) = @_;
my($dbh) = $drh->connect($DB_server,"webcat") and print STDERR
"Connected OK\n";
my($cursor) = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT $select FROM $DB $where")
and print STDERR "Cursor prepared\n";
$cursor->execute and print STDERR "Cursor executed OK\n";
my(@row,@data);
while (@row = $cursor->fetchrow) {
push(@data,[@row]);
}
$cursor->finish and print STDERR "Cursor finished OK\n";
undef $cursor;
$dbh->disconnect;
#
# @data now contains a list of pointers to the rows which have to be
# de-referenced
#
@data;

Remember these mails?

The problem is now solved with a hint from Garth Kennedy <[email protected]>.
As we are running 7.3.2 Oracle, Garth suggested to try to build a separate
$ORACLE_HOME with older oracle libraries. I found a 7.2.3 CD, installed
code-only, and remade DBD-Oracle with $ORACLE_HOME pointing to 7.2.3. After
that, 'make test' passed ok.

Thanks again to all that sent hints to me!

Look at test.pl bundled with DBD::mSQL. Basically, from the psuedo-code, it
looks like you're doing something like:

while ( @row = $dth->fetchrow ) {
print "Row: @row\n";
}
print "Rows fetched: ...\n";

So, each iteration round the loop, your previous value of @row will get
overwritten. You need to store each row onto a stack, or something as you
iterate.

DBD-Oracle-0.40 has a serious bug (announced recently).

*** It should not be used without applying this patch ***

I'll make a new release today.

Thanks indeed. The fix came to me while flying over to Ireland (it was
trivial after all) so I called Jacqui and walked her though applying
and testing it before dictating the email message.

DBD-Oracle-0.41 IS BROKEN - DO NOT USE IT (without applying the

My previous statements re DBD-Oracle-0.40 should have referred to
DBD-Oracle-0.41. Sorry for any confusion caused.

In summary:

DBD::Oracle version 0.41 is *BROKEN* (0.40 is not)

To fix it, add these three lines above the oexec() call in dbdimp.c:

imp_sth->in_cache = 0;
imp_sth->next_entry = 0;
imp_sth->end_of_data = 0;

I'll release a fixed 0.42 version sometime today.

Tim.

Not that I'm aware of. There is at least one and possibly two postgres
extensions for perl (one was released recently). I'd recommend you
start by implementing a DBD::Postgres in perl as a layer over an
existing interface and migrate to C later.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.42 (Oraperl 1.30), 28nd Oct 1996

Fixed serious 'cache empty after re-bind' bug.
Do not use DBD::Oracle 0.41.
Implemented oexfet (combined execute and cache fetch) for
select operations. This is a further significant speed up.
Many selects now make only one trip to Oracle (after prepare)
which combines the execute and fetching multiple rows.

Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual. Should reach CPAN in a day or so.

This release marks the end of the current phase of performance and
functionality enhancements. I have other fishes to fry for a while.
I will, of course, be as keen as ever to fix any bugs which may appear.

Please accept my apologies for the 'cache empty after re-bind' bug.
Please also delete any copies of DBD-Oracle-0.41 you may have.

Tim.

For some reason DB-perl refuses to return the first row gotten in the loop below.
The next values are retrieved and output correctly. What is the skipping a row about?

Here is a section of the perl code.

while (@columns) //When I use a foreach loop, the last sql statement isn't executed instead
{ // of the first statement.

@column_info = split(/::/,$column_table);

$sql = "select * from column_names where table_column=\'$column_info[1]\' AND table_name=\'$column_info[0]\'";

print "<BR>sql:$sql<BR>\n";
$cursor = $dbh->prepare("$sql");
$cursor->execute;

($temp1,$column_name,$temp2) = $cursor->fetchrow;

print "<TR><TD>\n";
print "<BR>$column_name\n";
print "</TD><TD>\n";

..
}

The $column_name dosen't print out on the first pass even though the sql statement prints out
and the syntax is correct.

Thanks Kevin. I came to the same conclusion on the plane.

Now 0.42 uses oexfet() it's possible that Oraperl/DBD::Oracle is
finally faster (after startup) than oraperl 2.4. Especially on slow
networks. That's a testament to the good performance of oraperl 2.4.

[For those who don't recall, Kevin wrote the original oraperl]

Tim.

Greetings all,
I have some begginner's frustration and confusion.. Here is the story
I'm using an HP 9000/712 with HPUX 9.05. I've installed perl5.003
successfully. Installed DBI .73 w/o error messages. I don't have Oracle
or ProC locally on my machine. I've mounted both as a remote file system to get
DBI::Oracle to compile. remote Oracle is 7.2.3, don;t know which ProC version,
but DBI::Oracle .39 compiled, and test.pl ran with no errors, after pointing
to the correct oracle home, sid, user/password etc.
Now, do I need to install oraperl of anykind if I want to use oraperl emulation
in DBI?
I don;t know the answer to this question, so I've been fretting for a while
trying to install oraperl 2.4. I keep getting "don't know how to make
uperl.o" I (tried) to follow oraperl.hpux file for installing oraperl on
an hpux 9.x. Honestly I don't know enough to mess with *.h files and makefiles.

Although DBI, DBD are installed, I haven't written a singl script to test
their functionality, SO I do not know for sure if all I've installed so
far is configured correctly.
In short:
1- DO I need to install oraperl?
2- If yes, what's the way considering my equipment?

one last request: Could someone post (or email) a barebones sample script
using orapler emulation in DBI, and if possible, the equiv in pure DBI.
I'd like to see for myself which to learn.

Any help thankfully appreciated.
Regards,
Kal.

Is there a Perl interface for Raima databases? Can you send me

Hi,

If anyone replies directly to you, would you remind forwarding their

I expect to be in a situation similar to your shortly, and am also
wondering about the oraperl / ProC / DBI stuff.

Thanks,

Back when I were a lad, we didn't even have oexfet(). We had to get
up at 3 in the morning, lick the database clean and then go and spend
27 hours a day down the data mines.

*Ahem*

Looks like Oraperl's tombstone can finally be carved, then. :-)
Congratulations.

27 hours a day .... you were lucky. We had to get up 4 hours before
going to bed, eat a handful of cold SQL .... work 30 hours a day, day
in, day out, for 3 pence every 4 years; come home and .... knock up
another version of DBD-Oracle.

.... but then you know the rest!

Andy.

Sigh.

I was too hasty with that last release.

When implementing the oexfet support I'd forgotten that the end_of_data
variable actually holds the error which caused the end of data rather
than a simple boolean.

The effect is that any select which returns fewer rows than the cache
size will appear to end with a ORA-00001: unique constraint violation
error.

Here's the fix:

diff -c -r1.26 dbdimp.c
*** 1.26 1996/10/28 15:34:28
--- dbdimp.c 1996/10/29 10:20:00
***************
*** 831,837 ****
}
imp_sth->in_cache = imp_sth->cda->rpc; /* cache loaded */
if (imp_sth->cda->rc == 1403)
! imp_sth->end_of_data = TRUE;
}
else { /* NOT a select */
if (oexec(imp_sth->cda)) {
--- 831,837 ----
}
imp_sth->in_cache = imp_sth->cda->rpc; /* cache loaded */
if (imp_sth->cda->rc == 1403)
! imp_sth->end_of_data = 1403;
}
else { /* NOT a select */
if (oexec(imp_sth->cda)) {

I new release will be out today (with a renamed variable and better tests).

Once again, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Tim.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Hola,

I'm sorry, if this goes to a list or if it's a FAQ.

I am looking for a way to access an ODBC Database from my Unix machine.
As I love Perl, I found the DBI (at http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/)
and saw the announcement, so I thought you may be able to help me.

I'd even spend money, if I could only get hold of some routines to access
Windows Databases via ODBC from a perl program.

Please help me ! If you know, where to get information or find anything
about an existing interface, then tell me about it...and if this a mailing list,
please subscribe me :)

Best regards,
Thomas Eisenbock

Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.43 (Oraperl 1.30), 29nd Oct 1996

Fixed serious 'false ora_errno 1 after short select' bug.
Worked around oracle bug that makes cda->ft unreliable.
Do not use DBD::Oracle 0.41 or 0.42.
Cursors are now 'describe'd at prepare time thus making
NUM_OF_FIELDS etc always available. Describe does nothing
for non-select operations. NUM_OF_FIELDS > 0 is now used to
select between oexec() and oexfet() in execute().
Added more internal debugging. Improved test.pl.

In the immortal words of a collegue of mine "I've fixed the last bug"!

:-)

This version is happily crunching millions of call records using
a wide assortment of cursor types as I write. All seems well but,
as always, your milage may vary.

Apologies once again.

Uploaded to ftp.demon.co.uk as usual. Should reach CPAN in a day or so.
(Please check that the file you get is 80119 bytes long.)

Tim.

Subject: Oracle WebServer 3.0: Perl Cartridge
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 20:26:43 +0100

Just read this in a "White Paper" from Oracle:

> Perl Cartridge
>
> Perl is an extremely popular development language for deploying complex,
> robust applications that require different types of information from
> different sources. In Oracle WebServer 3.0, the Perl cartridge allows
> developers to use their existing Perl code through the Web Request Broker
> Architecture.

Does anyone know more about that? Could this be in concurrence with Oraperl?

Subject: DBI->connect

Why does DBI->connect try to enforce the arguments when many of the
drivers deviate? I'm writing DBD::Postgres and there are 5 parameters
(host, port, options, tty, dbname) but DBI->connect won't let me do
this! What is the work-around?

Uh, no, that's not a good checksum. PAUSE has already shaved off
27%. The only reliable checksum that is easily available would be the
MD5 cecksum on the uncompressed tarfile, i.e. the 'md5-ungz' value in
the CHECKSUMS file in your DBD/Oracle directory on CPAN.

'DBD-Oracle-0.43.tar.gz' => {
size => 58523,
'md5' => 'f300231a7ea13a1a68e7d65b236ce8f5',
'md5-ungz' => '139da8570787750d4eea7d74db889bd9'
},

So to check if the files you supplied and the files that arrived here
are the same, you should run this and compare the output:

# zcat DBD-Oracle-0.43.tar.gz | md5sum -
139da8570787750d4eea7d74db889bd9 -

Hi,

I am trying to build DBI-0.72 on HP-UX 9.04. It seems
to compile OK but doesn't pass all tests and I can't get it
statically linked with perl. I get "directory not found"
for the DBI directory when I try to rebuild Perl(5.003). What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated.

Dean Burdick.

Some time ago, Oracle announced that they were making available a
package of unsupported tools for Oracle Web access. These included
Oraperl v2.4 (BTW, this was shortly after I described Oraperl during
a job interview at Oracle, and was informed "we use our own tools"!).
Perhaps they've added DBI/DBD to the current version.

Hi

I attempted to make DBD::Oracle-0.38 on Solaris 2.4. I installed Perl 5.003
and DBI. These seemed to be file and all the tests
checked out OK. As I did perl Makefile.PL I got the following:

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 18.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Herman

My suggestions would be do the following in this order ....

1. reinstall perl and test it .... you should be able to get dynamic
loading working.

2. get the latest version of DBI (DBI-0.73) built tested and
installed.

3. get the latest version of the Oracle DBD (DBD-Oracle-0.43) built
tested and installed.

.... then you won't have a problem :-)

Because that's the only way that a script could be made portable.
It's a core feature of the DBI.

The correct solution (rather than a workaround) is to define a syntax
which allows those five parameters to be expressed as three.

I'd suggest at least combining dbname, host and port as

dbname@host:port

and allow port and host to default is not specified, thus:

dbname@host -- using default port

dbname -- using default port on current host

since I don't know what 'options' and 'tty' are and I can't see a
username or password I won't make any other recommendations yet.

Tim.

Well, its nice to see Oracle take the lead in promoting non-proprietary tools
like Perl. As good as Magnus Lonoroth's PL/SQL Webserver packages are, there
are always going to be areas where Perl, JAVA, etal may be better suited. I
didnt want my IOUW paper to be yet another "us versus them" diatribe. This
helps alot.

Where can I find this white paper, its not in the Oracle (US) search engine? I
have a couple customers who I need to forward a copy of this doc.

How are the scripts portable in that way when the drivers use the
arguments differently?

There is no username or password. Options and tty are *rarely* used

Well, it wasn't really a checksum. It was just a hint in case anyone
might a grabbed a rogue 0.43.tar.Z which appeared on ftp.demon in error
for an hour or so. From what we've discussed elsewhere I know no one
has so there's no need for concern.

I'd forgotten this useful feature of the very wonderful PAUSE server.

How much? :-)

ODBC support for the DBI is now top of my DBI related to-do list (as promised).
When that will translate into action I can't be sure. I would be surprised if
I can find any time before January. Sadly.

I have just installed DBI ver. 73 and DBD Oracle ver. 43 on HP-UX 09.01.

Hi:
I am a student who is taking a course about Web application. I am
currently developing an application which Perl and Ingres are involved. I
would like to know more about the DBI between Perl and
Ingres(sqlperl/ingperl). Would you please send me the DBI

Thank you.

I've successfully installed DBI Version 0.73 and DBD 0.40 and all make's and
make test's worked fine. When I try to run the following test.pl program to
test connecting to an oracle database, I get the following error.

I'm running Oracle 7.1 on an HP running HP-UX 10.10. I've read all that
I've found, the README, the web pages, FAQ... Here's the test.pl source
code below. It's a database connect and disconnect test program. Any ideas
why I can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm as the error suggests? Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a look at

http://tiburon.us.oracle.com/odp/public/library/cr/html/cr_white.html

but I didn't find it there. Our local Oracle support sent it to us via fax.
They say they have it "downloaded from Oracle". So it must be around somewhere.
If you don't find it, ask Oracle for

Subject: DBD::Oracle and procedures

Hi Tim,

Bob Altherr and I have a few questions regarding DBD::Oracle and running
stored procedures from Oracle.

How do you do it? We were trying the following code:

local($cursor) = $dbh->call_func('_proc',"mfsapp.esd_download_flagging"
, ($user_greeting, $product_code, $exec_status, $exec_message));

Now $exec_status and $exec_message are return values which of course are
not supported under the current driver we are using which is DBD-Oracle-0.37
with DBI-0.71.

We've just tried do download 0.38 of DBD:Oracle and there is a server error.

Please help!

Subject: Number of Rows selected
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII

I am using DBI/DBD::Oracle and trying to get the number of rows
selected in an execute statement. The documentation says that
$db_rows should contain this and it doesn't. Also, it says that
the return value from execute should contain the number of rows
but instead it contains 0E0. I'm sure a number of you have stumbled
across this. Can you tell me how to get the number of rows after
doing a select inside an execute? Thank you very much.

Did you actually 'make install' it? If so where did it copy the files to?

Tim.

Hello Tim,

I hope you can help or give me some suggestions.

Im trying to compile 5.003 up on HP-UX 10.01 with standard cc compiler
so that I can use DBI/DBD with Oracle 7.2. I did have 5.002 but the
DBD make told me to get 5.003 or later.

I ran the Configure script and it seemed to recognise everything OK.
Told it to create dynamic loader but statically link extensions.
Compiled OK. tested OK. installed OK.

Now Im trying to compile and install the DBI. After succesfully
running 'perl Makefile.PL' 'make' drops out with the following error :

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.

Don't run test.pl by hand. Always run 'make test' as directed in the README.

ORACLE UNVEILS WORLD WIDE WEB INTERFACE KIT

Kit Enables Developers to Bring the Power of Oracle7 to the World Wide
Web

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 1995 Oracle Corp. today announced the immediate=20
availability of the Oracle World Wide Web Interface Kit which enables
developers=20
and World Wide Web server administrators to tightly integrate Oracle7
databases=20
with Web servers. The Kit, available free of charge on the Internet,
includes real-life=20
examples of linked Oracle7 databases with Web servers created by Web
developers=20
from around the world. Also included is a powerful Oracle gateway for
Web servers,=20
which translates Oracle standard database language (PL/SQL) to
Internet-standard=20
language (HTML).

"Handling large quantities of documents and meta-data in a flat file
system is just=20
not very attractive," said Bjorn Elliasson, Technical Manager for
Molnlycke Corp.=20
"By using Oracle7 as a standard repository, we know that our information
is safe=20
and accessible."

Using the Kit, developers can now create links between Web servers and
Oracle7=20
databases to bring to the Internet exciting new services and information
systems.=20
Potential uses for the Kit include the capability to make Oracle7
databases accessible=20
to users of Web servers, as well as enabling new applications that
integrate Web server
transactions into existing business processes using Oracle7 databases.

"Many of our customers have shown interest in interfacing Oracle7 with a
Web server,=20
so we're making this kit available to give them a helping hand," said
Mark Jarvis,=20
senior director of network products for Oracle Corp. "With minimal
effort, our customers=20
can now integrate Web servers into their existing Oracle7 database
applications
to bring a whole new way of displaying, browsing and manipulating data.
It brings about=20
a new way of doing business and nicely ties the corporate data
environment into the Internet."

"Our developers are fascinated. They know how to write PL/SQL, so
implementing=20
advanced World Wide Web gateways is no harder than writing a simple
procedure,"=20
said Peter Nystrom, Information Systems Analyst at Molnlycke.

The modules in the Oracle WWW Interface Kit include the following:

Oracle's Web-Oracle-Web (WOW) PL/SQL gateway to Web servers=20

Oracle's PL/SQL Editor and Development tool for the creation of
dynamic PL/SQL code=20

ORAYWWW, a PERL gateway contributed by Mr. Arthur Yasinski of the
Department of Natural Resources,
Canadian Forest Service=20

WORA, a user-friendly database browser written in Pro*C by
Constantine Ocarinets of JINR, Russia=20

DECOUX, a post-processing gateway that inserts query results from an
Oracle7 database into HTML
documents. DECOUX was contributed by Guy Decoux of France.=20

Navigator, a collection of PERL scripts and one Pro*C module that
allows administrators to quickly configure
HTML forms for end-user queries of Oracle7 databases. This gateway was
contributed by Rick Hudson of the
University of Massachusetts.=20

Text Search System (TSS), a full-scale indexing and free-text search
system contributed by Peter Larsson of
Astrakan, Sweden.=20

MORE, a collection of Pro*C gateways for maintaining an information
repository contributed
by David Eichmann of the University of Texas=20

HotMetal, an HTML editor from SoftQuad=20

PERL, a freeware interpreting programming language developed by Larry
Wall=20

ORAPERL, an extension to PERL for use with Oracle7 databases
including user exits developed by Kevin
Stock=20

There is no Perl5 interface for Ingres.

The perl4 ingperl can be found on any CPAN site (use a web search).

Don't try. Do 'make test' instead.

There are known problems with DBD-Oracle-0.42 ..... upgrade to
DBD-Oracle-0.43 and all should work fine.

"the documentation" isn't the documentation.

Use the 'perdoc Oraperl' command to read the documentation.

I'd be interested to know where your got your "documentation" and
how you interpreted the warning on the title page.

Other favorite quotes from Oracle WebServer 3.0--An Oracle White Paper
(November 1996):
"It [Oracle WebServer 3.0] is a unifying architecture, bringing together the
Web with client/server, bridging distinct object architectures, and unifying
diverse Web server API's"
"Oracle WebServer works with the supplied Spyglass listener and also supports
Netscape, Microsoft, and Apache servers."

I love this stuff--its not your father's C/S anymore. Now lets make Oracle
stick to its word.

BTW: My SE also sent me WebServer 3.0 Transactions (Larry Jacobs September
1996) and a draft of Oracle WebServer 3.0-- Web Request Broker API (September
1996)

Have a great day!

I am using the Informix DBD 0.24 with Informix 5. I am trying to use a
cursor to perform a query involving 4 tables and a number of columns. The
query is pretty large and it executes properly when run through the ACE
tool. The error message that I get after calling:

( $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT cs.customer_code,
cs.prod_id,
cs.prod_name,
cu.customer_name,
.

the error is:

Column (%s) not found in any table in the query.

I would appreciate if anyone can point out possible reasons for this error
and what can be done to debug it further.

I would also appreciate any pointers to example scripts that involve
complex SQL queries.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Tayeb

Hello,

I wish to install DBD::Oracle on my Linux box. However, I don't know which
version of Oracle for SCO I should purchase (i.e. UnixWare or
OpenServer). Will either version allow me to compile and use DBPerl? If
either version will work, what are the advantages and disadvantages of
using the different versions?

Your help is greatly appreciated :)

Hello,

Please ignore my previous message, below, if it doesn't make sense. The
Oracle store calls UnixWare "SCO UnixWare". Other Oracle pages call it
"Novell UnixWare".

Thanks %-)

so what you are saying is that i can purchase the openserver version and
run it on my linux box? interesting. not that i would care much if i
couldnt use dbi.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but the sales rep ive been dealing
with over there told me that i could not find a workgroup server version
that would run on linux.

As I remember it, this was temporary collection of free tools to connect =
Oracle to the Web. Now that Oracle has its own production toolset, Oracle=
WebSystem, the archive has been shutdown. Most of these tools are outdat=
ed, so its probably not worth your effort to track down the packages from=
the various archives.

I occasionally browse through the Oraywww and GSQL source trees and dream=
of generic HTML<->DB form languages, but its become much too easy to hac=
k PL/SQL or Perl scripts to make a generic form language very useful. Blu=
estone, Oracle, and others already have GUI code generators for Web devel=
opment--its really a by-gone age.

Thanks Kevin, Tim, and company...

I too, was intrigued by all of this talk on web sites of the "WWW Interface
Kit", or whatever they called it, and called up Oracle Canada, and wrote to
Oracle USA (by email from the address on their website), and was told by
both that wile they had made a kit available at one time, (that was really
just oraperl with lots of web sample code), that it is now part of their
WebServer, and you only get it by buying that product. Then came the press
realese that was posted here too, about them unbundling the Web Request
Broker, (the current part of the Webserver software that interfaces to the
database) so it can work with other web servers, not just their own. Well,
that is partly true, according to Oracle Canada. It will work with other web
servers, but you still need to buy their webserver, at around 4000 Canadian.
And they know of no plans to make it available as a seperate product. Thankx
Oracle, but no thanks.

Hello,

All I know is what I've learned from being on this mailing list and the
Linux Journal. Basically this is it. There is an SCO emulation package
called iBCS (I think), and an SCO cross compiler for Linux. Put these
two together with DBD::Oracle and SCO Oracle and I understand it works
just fine.

To really learn the Oracle Programmer's Interface, you have to read the manuals. I know Oracle isnt shipping them anymore so you'll have to run Oracle Book. I know its bitter medicine and Oracle hasnt quite figured out the Cherry taste, but if you're serious about learning it--swallow hard and fast. Assuming you know SQL, the Pro*C stuff isnt too bad and includes good demos.

Now assuming you are not going to follow my advice, run "perldoc Oraperl" and download OraperlV4 examples from Demon.

Now assuming I've read your whole query wrong and you really have just hit a brain lockup, remember to test for error conditions as Oracle error codes can be quite helpful:

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Oraperl;
use strict;

my($lda) = &ora_login('', 'scott/tiger','') || die "ora_login: $ora_errno: $
ora_errstr\n";
&ora_do($lda,'create table foo (bar number)') || die "ora_do: $o
ra_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
&ora_commit($lda) || die "ora_commit: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
my($csr) = &ora_open($lda,'insert into foo values (:1)') || die "ora_open: $ora_
errno: $ora_errstr\n";
&ora_bind($csr, 1) || die "ora_bind: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
&ora_close($csr) || die "ora_close: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
my($csr) = &ora_open($lda,'select bar from foo') || die "ora_open: $ora_errno: $
ora_errstr\n";
my($bar);
while (($bar) = &ora_fetch($csr)) {
die "ora_fetch: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n" if $ora_errno;
print $bar,"\n";
}
&ora_close($csr) ||die "ora_close: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
&ora_do($lda, 'drop table foo') || die "ora_do: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";
&ora_logoff($lda) || die "ora_logoff: $ora_errno: $ora_errstr\n";

You should also know that 0.42 was quickly replaced by 0.43.

Possibly .... but I suggest you be a little more explicit about your
problem and then you might get a solution :-)

Because the drivers that are non compliant are about to be when I get a chance

I'm not sure what the problem is since you have not sent the complete statement.
However, your code references various cs.* elements and one cu.customer_name.
Could that be the problem -- the cu should be cs?

Hi ,
I am new to DBI/Oraperl. Could someone spare a few short programs with
examples using the basic DBI functions? I DBD and DBI up and running but have
some trouble getting a table insert to work. ( but oracle is cranking!)
I have a copy of "perldoc oraperl" but its a bit confusing, and I
am currently wading through many pounds of the oracle pro*c stuff (its slow
going)

Thanks for the patience

Mike Pukmel

Subject: DBI/DBD::Oracle connection problems
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII

I have DBI, using the Oracle driver, working great on my machine.
I have a test script which establishes a connection to an Oracle
database. This script works fine on the machine which I installed
Perl/DBI/DBD on. However, when I trying running this perl script
on a different machine it doesn't work. The script points to the original
perl executable which is on the same network and uses the same
@INC paths. I have even tried setting ORACLE_HOME
to the same directory. Are there libraries that get installed
in /usr/local or special tweaks to Oracle files not under
ORACLE_HOME? What am I missing?

I fetched DBD-Oracle-0.43, and finished making test successfully.

I'm glad to install it on my machine without any problems.

Thank you for advising me, Tim and Andy.

I prefer to convert the date to a string, and then use
Perl to parse the string. Use the "to_char()" function to
convert a string to a date, or the "to_date()" to convert
a date to a string. (Depending on whether you are sending
the date in or retrieving it). These functions each take
a date specification string, which you can formulate according
to your needs.

Dear Tim,

I could possibly help you with getting Oracle support for the bad free
problem. Recently you circulated mail with the subject: "Purify's view of
Oracle 7.3's Bad Free". I could forward the problem to Oracle. The only
catch is I'm new to Oracle and DBI. Perhaps you could give me some
direction and understanding of the problem so that I could communicate
with them semi-intelligently.

Mark

Hi Mike

Here is a small test program which gets sysdate and a next sequence no, and
subsequently inserts it (with some other stuff) into an account table. The
way I did it was by building up the select statement through string
concatenation, and then executing it with
&ora_do($lda, $statement). This is as opposed to using bind variables. The
advantage of
this approach is that you can print out your SQL statement, cut and paste
it into SQL plus, and then execute it from there in order to debug it.

Regards
Herman
