Here's the full main loop script, I'm still relatively new to DBI, so I may have messed things up a bit. I have gone through the perldocs a few times.
my $db_list = new IO::File("< /home/oracle/utils/metrics_db_list.txt") or die "Can't open oratab file"; while (<$db_list>) { my @db_info = split(/:/); my $orasid = $db_info[0]; my $server = $db_info[1]; my $source_dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:$orasid", '<user>', <password>', {RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0}) || die DBI->errstr; my $target_dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:fd1p", '<user>', '<password>', {RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0}) || die DBI->errstr; my $source_sql = qq{ SELECT username, to_char(sample_Date, 'YYYY') , to_char(sample_date, 'IW') , sum(cpu) , sum(IO) from daily_user_stats group by username, to_CHAR(sample_date, 'IW') , to_char(sample_Date, 'YYYY') order by 1,2 }; my $source_sth = $source_dbh->prepare( $source_sql ) or die "Can't prepare source statement: " . $source_dbh->errstr; $source_sth->execute; my ($userid, $year, $week, $cpu, $io); $source_sth->bind_columns(\$userid, \$year, \$week, \$cpu, \$io); my $insert_sql = qq { insert into user_history_stats (database, server, year, week, username, cpu, io) values ('$orasid', '$server', ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }; my $target_sth = $target_dbh->prepare( $insert_sql ) or die "Can't prepare insert statement: " . $target_dbh->errstr;; while ($source_sth->fetch) { $target_sth->bind_param(1, $year); $target_sth->bind_param(2, $week); $target_sth->bind_param(3, $userid); $target_sth->bind_param(4, $cpu); $target_sth->bind_param(5, $io); $target_sth->execute; } # Clean up and exit loop $target_dbh->commit(); $source_dbh->disconnect(); $target_dbh->disconnect(); } The literal 'FD1P' you referred to is the SID of one of my databases.
