What would I need to call SQL Plus into action for PERL?
If you just need to execute SQL statements, use the DBI module
and talk directly to the database.
If you need to run existing sqlplus reports, use any of the
standard facilities like system(), backticks, pipe open,
fork/exec, etc. to call sqlplus from your perl script.
If using DBD/DBI is not an option, a better choice would be to open
sqlplus as a pipe stream, as in
open (SQLPLUS, | sqlplus $SQL_LOG)
or die Can't fork process;
print SQLPLUS $oraId/[EMAIL PROTECTED];
print SQLPLUS set heading off\n;
print SQLPLUS set pagesize 0\n;
(etc)
You could then run some basic commands. You can use the same idea
to run plsql blocks.
