Antwort: compilation requirements for DBD-DB2
Edward Peschko An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]Kopie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thema: compilation requirements for DBD-DB2 12.10.2004 21:27 hey all, I'm missing a piece, I guess, in the install of DB2.. I have the libraries, etc. installed in /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1. I'm getting: Constants.xs:16:20: sqlcli.h: No such file or directory Constants.xs:18:21: sqlcli1.h: No such file or directory Constants.xs:19:20: sqlext.h: No such file or directory so... what do I need to download and from where? Thanks, Ed Hey Ed, the sql*.h you mention belong to the db2-Client-Software! You should find them in your sqllib\include directory! There are different editions ( runtime-,administration- and developer-Client) of the db2-client-software! If you have a DB2-Client installed and don't find them, you will need to install the Developer-Client, which I have. I think they are only in the dev-Client, but am not sure! If you find find them, they may not be in your include-path! best regards Manfred
Re: alternative to DBD::Oracle that does not use OCI?
You could install DBD::Oracle DBI on the server which has the Oracle install and use DBD::Proxy to connect. Or look into using DBD::JDBC.

I'd like something considerably lighter weight than the 250MB client. Surely there must be some sort of reverse-engineered Oracle client? Thanks Joe

Did you install the application development tools with DB2? If you have the Application Development Client installed, you have it. Or, if you have any licensed product, you could install it (it's optional). If you have the Runtime Client or the Administration Client products, you will need to get the Application Development Client off the IBM website and install it to get the headers and libraries required for compiling C programs.

Re: alternative to DBD::Oracle that does not use OCI?
DBD::Proxy is brilliant! This also solves some security concerns as well as having to install Oracle binaries for various operating systems. Thanks for the tip! On Oct 13, 2004, at 6:45 AM, Scott T.

Programming the Perl DBI
Hello, I'm looking at the Perl DBI O'Reilly book, but it has a publish date of 2000. How much has DBI changed since then? Is the book still a good reference or has it become outdated? Joe smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Both. It's a good (enough) reference for what it covers, but what it covers grows more limited relative to the (slowly) advancing DBI. A second edition is in the works but the works seem to be less than productive at the moment and relatively little is actually done. So don't go holding your breath... Tim.
