Ok that makes more sense, I will look online for a reference of oracle SQL
language, that is NOT sql*plus.

Do you know where I might start, besides google.com, of course I will do
that.

All,

I am getting the following error while trying to use DBD::Oracle:

DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement (DBD
ERROR: OCIStmtExecute) [for Statement "describe ALL_USERS"] at
./oracleTest.pl line 69.

DESCRIBE is a SQL*Plus command. It is not part of the Oracle SQL language.
You need to either query the data dictionary views directly, or use the
statement handle attributes like NAME, PRECISION, TYPE, etc. to get this
information.
