Hi All ,
I need some help with DBI. This is the first time I am working
with DBI module and am pretty new to perl too. I am trying to connect to
a database to execute some queries. I had written a code which is shown
below (It is actually a partial code for just connecting to database). I
am getting errors which I have pasted below. I believe that it might be
due to my lacking some modules but I have turned to you gurus to confirm
that and how can I overcome that. Actually this code would be executed
at multiple boxes so installing the absent packages may not be a
feasible solution.
Thanks for any help.
Code
--------
#!/opt/3d/bin/perl
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use DBI ;
my $database_name ;
my $data_source ;
my $dbh ;
my $username ;
my $password ;
## I have got my username and password here ##
$database_name = $ENV{ORACLE_SID} ; #This contains the ORACLE_SID to
which I need to connect
$data_source = "dbi:DriverName:database_name" ;
$dbh = DBI->connect($data_source , $username , $password)
or die $DBI::errstr ;
$dbh->disconnect ;
Errors
---------

Perhaps the DBD::DriverName perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'DriverName' isn't right.
Available drivers: CSV, ExampleP, File, Oracle, Proxy.
