Follow-up from yesterday. I still need some basic help and thanks so much for all the help so far. I am running Windows XP Pro and using Perl version 5.8.4 I have been told that I need the following files from ftp.esoftmatic.com for Oracle 9i: DBI.ppd DBI-1.45-5.8.4.tar.gz DBD-Oracle9-1.16-5.8.4.tar.gz DBD-Oracle9.ppd I am not sure how to install these files. I have only used the ppm to install modules. If I upgrade the DBI do I have to upgrade the MySql version I am using also? I am currently using the one dated 7/13/2004. I am currently running quite a few production programs and I do not want to jepardize their running. Thanks again for all the help, but could someone please help me a little more, Larry ----Original Message----- From: Larry Lords [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 2:54 PM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: Cannot find DBD-Oracle.ppd
I am a Perl newbie. I have interfaced to a MySql database quite a bit with Perl and have had no problem, but I have now been asked to interface with an Oracle database. When I try and install the Oracle DBI by "ppm install DBD-Oracle", I get the following error message: Error: PPD for 'DBD-Oracle.ppd' could not be found. Would someone please help me to resolve this problem? I would appreciate it, Larry Lords ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message may contain confidential information, and is intended only for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
