If you are behind the firewall you must configure for ppm to bypass it, look

Inserting data file into table

2001-11-20 Thread Kipp, James

Hi

I slurped a data file into an array and I know there are many ways of
inserting the fields into a table. I was just wondering what the most
efficient way would be.
Here are the relevent code snippets.
--
my $id, $fname, $lname, $phone, $deptid, @table;
my $file = c:\\test\\people.csv;
open(FILE, $file) or die can't open file: $!;
while (FILE) {
@table = split(/,/ , $file );
--
my $sth = $dbh-prepare( INSERT INTO tbl_people VALUES (?,?,?,?,?) );

foreach (@table){
($id, $fname, $lname, $phone, $deptid) = split;
$sth-execute($id, $fname, $lname, $phone, $deptid);
}
--

or should I us a do() or something else.

Thanks for any help
Jim

how to execute a sql command file within a perl script

Hi All,
Using a perl script (with the DBI module) I am trying to connect to a
oracle database using sqlplus (which is there in the oracle BIN
directory) and then executing a command file by using the command start
commands.sql. Can somebody help me in implementing this ?? I am not very

that the command file expects some input from the user. So please let me
know how to implement this code as well!!)

All help will be highly appreciated.

RE: how to execute a sql command file within a perl script

2001-11-20 Thread Kipp, James

you can just wrap the commands from the sql plus file into a prepare string.
something like:


my $sth = $dbh-prepare( 
SELECT *
FROM tbl_foo
WHERE description = $blah
  # whatever statements you have in the sq file
   );
$sth-execute();

Re: how to execute a sql command file within a perl script

2001-11-20 Thread Hardy Merrill

Make sure that
 1) Oracle is installed and working
 2) DBI installed ok
 3) DBD::Oracle installed ok

then, you'll need a proper connect statement - look at the
DBD::Oracle perldocs by doing

   perldoc DBD::Oracle

And then try the code below.

and the other thing you should be able to do if DBD::ODBC is

type

   perldoc DBD::ODBC

and it should lay out the different connect options.  I would
think they may have info in there about connecting to an

Checking result of MS Access insert statement

2001-11-20 Thread Chris Spurgeon

I'm using DBI:ODBC to talk with a Microsoft Acces database and things are
going along swimmingly, but I have this one issue...

I can perform an INSERT statement successfully.  Immediately after I do the
INSERT, this line...

 my $rowcount = $sth-rows;

returns a value of 1, indicating a successful operation.  But I was also
hoping that this line...

my @resultsarray = $sth-fetchrow_array;

 would return the row that I just inserted, or at least the primary key
of the new row (an autoincremented number).  But it doesn't of course, the
@resultsarray is empty.  So my question is after I do an insert how can I
immediately get ahold of the entry I just made?  Immediately doing a SELECT
right after the INSERT seems terribly inelegant.

retrieving exit value from SQL function in Perl

Does anyone know how to get an exit value from the following? If I have:

$insert_cr= $dbh-prepare(DECLARE result_cr VARCHAR2(30);

BEGIN result_cr := SYSTEM.LoadCreditReport(?,?,?); 

END;); #crr_id, directory, filename are the three ?s

Where LoadCreditReport returns a string stating whether or not it succeeded, 
and if it failed, why it failed- how can I get the value of result_cr?  Or can 
I?

How to retrieve NLS_DATE_FORMAT

2001-11-20 Thread fachinet

Hello dbi users,
I'm using dbi to connect to an Oracle 8i database.

I'm trying to retrieve the size of a date datatype column for a table.

First I tried with $query-{TYPE}, and $query-{PRECISION} functions
but I got weird result (75 for the precision ???).

So, I am now trying to get the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT value.
I know how to set it ('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = '$nls_date_format')
but is there any way to retrieve it directly ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
