Thanks Guys. DBI works fine. I have written below code but it executes only
on the server where I installed postgresql. Is there any way to run this
code from remote host. I get an error when trying to run it from remote
host. I think it is obvious because in below code there is no information
where to connect to. Could you please help me out.
use DBI;
$DB_name = 'mydb';
$DB_user = 'postgres';
$DB_pwd = '';
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=$DB_name","$DB_user","$DB_pwd");
if ( !defined $dbh ) { die "Cannot connect to database!\n"; }
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM mytable");
$sth->execute();
while ( ($id,$name) = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) { print "$id\t\t $name \n";
}
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
*remote-host# perl pg-connect.pl
DBI connect('dbname=sysdb','postgres',...) failed: could not connect to
server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? at
pg-connect.pl line 7
Cannot connect to database!

Thanks,
Dipti
