Yes, I'm having this problem too.  I'm using Perl 5.8.0 on FreeBSD
4.7, with DBI 1.43.  My gcc is 2.95.4.

My make failure is almost exactly the same, but not quite:

DBD:Oracle (1.15 and 1.16 rc1) and xmltype()

2004-08-23 Thread Thomas Chiverton
I am using the following:

$sth = $dbh->prepare("insert into parsed_dtlogs (id,service_name,xml_doc) 
values ($item,'".$service_save."',xmltype(?))") or die "Can't prepare SQL 
statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
$sth->bind_param(1,$xml,ORA_CLOB);
$sth->execute() or die "Can't execute SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n";

to try and insert an XML document into an xmltype column in oracle.
If $xml is small (say, "this indicator at 
char 70 in'insert into parsed_dtlogs (id,service_name,xml_doc) values 
(54,'test',<*>xmltype(:p1))') [for Statement "insert into parsed_dtlogs

Hello Thomas,

LOBs are defined to be possibly very large. So you should use
ora_lob_write.
You should to something like this:

  my $sth = $db->prepare( <<"  SQL" ) or die "insert $DBI::errstr";
  INSERT INTO clob
  ( id, txt )
  VALUES ( ?, empty_clob() )
  SQL
  $sth->execute( $lob_id ) or die "execute insert $DBI::errstr";

  $sth = $db->prepare( <<"  SQL", { ora_auto_lob => 0 } ) or die "prepare select 
$DBI::errstr";
 SELECT txt
 FROM clob
 WHERE id = ?
 FOR UPDATE
  SQL
  $sth->execute( $lob_id ) or die "execute select $DBI::errstr";
  my ( $bin_locator ) = $sth->fetchrow_array() or die "fetch select $DBI::errstr";
  $sth->finish();

  open FH, $ARGV[1] or die "open";
  my $chunk_size = 4096;   # Arbitrary chunk size

  # BEGIN WRITING BIN_DATA COLUMN
   my $offset = 1;   # Offsets start at 1, not 0
   my $length = 0;
   my $buffer = '';
   while( $length = read( FH, $buffer, $chunk_size ) ) {
  $db->ora_lob_write( $bin_locator, $offset, $buffer );
  $offset += $length;
   }
  close FH;
}

It would be nice to have DBD/DBI just work though :-)
In the end, I create an extra CLOB column, inserted into that, and then just:

update parsed_dtlogs set xml_doc=xmltype(xml_clob)

What would be the best way of including a large text string here ? Just inline 
would make it very messy...
As far as I can see, there is no test for inserting into XMLtype() at all, and 
in any case I'm not sure weather the intended functionality would be support 
xmltype() cast in the select statement, or have DBD::Oracle notice it was an 
insert into an xmltype column and use CLOB rather than LONG.
Thoughts ?

FYI the extra steps would be:
 $dbh->do(qq{
CREATE TABLE $table_2 (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
data xmltype
)
});

$stmt = "INSERT INTO $table (id,date) VALUES (1, xmltype(?))";
// or $stmt = "INSERT INTO $table (id,date) VALUES (1, ?)";  ???
$sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt);
$sth->execute($6k_of_xml);
//this will fail with an error about LONG insert, currently...

$dbh->do("DROP TABLE $table_2");

Okay
I am running DBI and if the query doesnt work I want to write the data

Hold_Time, Orig_GW, Orig_Port, Term_GW, Term_Port, ISDN_Code,

But I couldn't find any mention of it in the current online docs either.
However, you are right.  I tried NVL on our Informix server, and it does accept
the function, and it does appear to work as expected.

How hard would it be for DBI to export a hash of data def's?

2004-08-23 Thread Steven Lembark
For example "neat" (see below for perldoc) 'knows' if a string
is numeric or char in the database. If I could get a hash keyed
by $sth->{NAME} that had, say, DBD-specific metadata it'd help
quite a bit on handling some error situaions. One use is returning
a copy of the query with placeholders filled in for cut+paste
troubleshooting; another is pretty-printing results where numeric
sequences stored as strings need to be quoted for further use
(i.e., /^\d+$/ is not a good enough test for quotishness when
Perl gets all the data back as strings).
If whatever neat uses were exported -- perhaps in DBD-specific
fashion to accomodate varying levels of metadata available in
the different databases -- it'd sure help...
  "neat"
$str = DBI::neat($value);
$str = DBI::neat($value, $maxlen);
  Return a string containing a neat (and tidy) represen-
  tation of the supplied value.
  Strings will be quoted, although internal quotes will
  not be escaped.  Values known to be numeric will be
  unquoted. Undefined (NULL) values will be shown as
  "undef" (without quotes).
  If the string is flagged internally as utf8 then dou-
  ble quotes will be used, otherwise single quotes are
  used and unprintable characters will be replaced by
  dot (.).
  For result strings longer than $maxlen the result
  string will be truncated to "$maxlen-4" and ""...'""
  will be appended.  If $maxlen is 0 or "undef", it
  defaults to $DBI::neat_maxlen which, in turn, defaults
  to 400.
  This function is designed to format values for human
  consumption.  It is used internally by the DBI for
  "trace" output. It should typically not be used for
  formatting values for database use.  (See also
  "quote".)

Actually, if you had you would have found that ``perldoc open'' give you
a pragma and ``perldoc print'' does not work.  You should check out:

  $ perldoc -f open
  $ perldoc -f print
  $ perldoc DBI

If you like OOP:

  $ perldoc IO::File

> How do I create an error log for a perl DBI script.

Basically what you want to do is check the return status of all your DBI
calls and if they return an error (false), then print errstr
($DBI::errstr for class methods, $dbh->errstr for db handle object
methods, and $sth->errstr for statement handle object methods) to the
error log file you opened previously with open.

Alternatively, you could set the RaiseError option to the connect method
to true and then set the die handler ($SIG{__DIE__}) to print the error
message to the log file.

The above perldoc commands can fill in the details if any of this is not
clear.

How to Install FTP.pm for Perl

2004-08-23 Thread Wen-Qiu Sun
hi there,

I am an Oracle DBA and new to Perl. My perl software is v5.6.1 built
for sun4-solaris-64int.

I downloaded DBI-1.39.tar.gz and got it installed successfully.  But
one of my perl program also uses "use Net::FTP.pm", which causes an
error: "Can't locate Net/ftp.pm in @INC".

It looks like I don't have an FTP.pm module on my system.  

I ran "find / -name ftp.pm -print" and found only this:

 /opt/SUNWstade/lib/Net/ftp.pm

So, my question is: how do I install the FTP.pm module on my system?

Thank much in advance.

I have been unable to get the tests to pass against the Oracle 8.1
libraries.  I was able to get rc6 to build and test fine against 9.2
libraries under ia32-linux and sparc-solaris for both perl5.6.1 and
perl5.8.3.  The 8.1 libraries had the same sorts of problems against
both versions of Perl.

Note that DBD-Oracle-1.15 compiles and tests successfully against all
combinations of Oracle client and Perl version listed above.

Below is a brief summary of the problems.  For more information,
including build and test logs and output from the failed tests
(including DBI_TRACE=9 output) see:

  http://genome.wustl.edu/~ddooling/dbd-oracle/

Test failure summary:

ia32-linux

  21nchar 22nchar_al32utf8 22nchar_utf8 24implicit_utf8
these tests just hung (no CPU usage, no DB activity) and had to

failed to connect to the database (reported earlier by mAmsterdam
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.users/23674)

this test started spun its wheels (99%+ CPU usage with no DB
activity) until it was killed

sparc-solaris

  21nchar 22nchar_al32utf8 22nchar_utf8 24implicit_utf8

Re: How to Install FTP.pm for Perl

2004-08-23 Thread David N Murray
You missed all the dependencies of DBI. CPAN is your friend.  Download and
install CPAN-1.76_01.tar.gz the same way you got and installed DBI (tar
xvfz, perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install).  Then,
# perl -MCPAN -e shell;
You probably want to
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
next, and let it install all its dependencies.  After that, the command
'cpan' will work from the system prompt.  Its been awhile since I had to
do it from scratch, so feel free to play and/or correct me.

After CPAN is installed and configured, you want to
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
and let it install all the dependencies, too.  Then,
cpan> install DBD::Oracle
That should get you started.  There's lots of resources on the net for
using CPAN.  Be sure to actually READ the docs.

This was alot gentler than the introduction I received on CPAN, but it
really doesn't belong on the DBI list.

Getting a field list from a query with NO results?

2004-08-23 Thread Dan
Hi all.
I'm working on an object to handle synchronizing fields on a 
Gtk2::GladeXML - generated form with a database ( 2nd release is just 
around the corner ).

I need to get a field list when my object is created, however in some 
cases I'll be running a query which returns NO records on the first run.

I have bene using:
foreach my $field ( keys %{$self->{records}[$self->{position}]} ) {
   # do stuff
}
but this won't work if I don't have any records.
I only see 2 options:
1) Run a separate query with NO where clause and a LIMIT clause ( MySQL 
) and get the field names from there, and then run the real query. This 
will work but I don't like it.

2) Keep a flag to indicate if I've done all the stuff in my loop ( which 
must happen only once ) and run it at the first opportunity ( the first 
time I run a query that gets results ). This is also a little messy, but 
better than option 1.

Is there any other way to get the field list without having any records?
Dan

If you don't know the columns that will be returned, I presume you're
doing something akin to 'select * from'.  At any rate, if you know the
table name, why not ask the database for the table info?

use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:test",'','');
die "Unable to connect:\n" . $DBI::errstr . "\n" if (! defined($dbh));

# 3rd param is table name, 4th means all columns
my $sth = $dbh->column_info(undef, undef, 'test', '%');

Yeah I've thought about that.
The problem is that people can use field aliases, eg:
select concat(FirstName, ' ', LastName) as FullName from MyTable
or even
select ID as MyID from MyTable
so I need to be able to grab the field name as it will be returned from 
the database server.

I was kinda hoping that even though a 'blank' recordset was being 
returned, that I could still *somehow* pull some field names out of it. 
And I'd also like to make it DB-neutral - which is one of the reasons 
I'm shying away from using a LIMIT clause. I suppose I can figure out 
why DB server is being used and create a DB-specific query on-the-fly, 
eg SQL Server would want a "select TOP 1 * from MyTable" instead of 
MySQL's "select * from MyTable LIMIT 1".

Maybe I've misunderstood, but can't you just use the prepare method, and
then use the various statement attributes such as NAME[_xx], TYPE,
PRECISION, SCALE, etc.  You don't actually need to fetch any rows to get at
this info.

Is there something you're trying to do that this doesn't ?
NOTE: this is the std. way of fetching field info for a resultset,
tho some drivers/dbms's don't populate that info until after execute(),
but a properly conformant driver should populate it (and
TYPE, PRECISION, SCALE, and NULLABLE) even if the resultset is empty.
