Re: Oracle DBF Tablespaces and Perl

[Mark Galbreath]

Unfortunately, direct access to the Oracle database is not possible as it is off-site.  All I have to work with are the 8 DBF files and DBI.pm.   ~m >>> Sean Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01-May-06 11:25:13 AM >> On 5/1/06 11:00 AM, "Mark Galbreath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Our Oracle team exports 8 DBF files to a local directory.  Is it possible to > use perl to query these tablespace files directly?  Using perl, how would I > get them into a MySQL database?  Do I need anything besides DBI.pm? I think there are several modules to read DBF files, but is there no way to access the Oracle DB directly?  You could then simply use DBI to query from Oracle and insert into Mysql.  A 10-line script would more than suffice for doing this.  In fact, there is even DBIx::Copy that will automate parts of this for you.
