Re: Cannot connect to Oracle db; script will not run
Hi,
I've seen:
$connString = 'dbi:Oracle:SID'
Maybe it helps to add the SID like:
$connString = 'dbi:Oracle:SID=SID_NAME'
where SID_NAME is the SID you want to use...

Subject: Cannot connect to Oracle db; script will not run
--Beyond some training, I'm very much a newbie to Perl (and this list). So,
please indulge me with my first attempt at a posted question to you; please see
below (*with the full code Perl script toward the bottom of my email)...
-I've been dealing with an issue in a Perl script that I'm writing, similar to
what was posted recently under 'Subject: Script to test connecting to Oracle
DBs' (and 'Subject: Re: Script to test connecting to Oracle DBs' by Rob Dixon).
Specifically, from my code:
$ENV{TWO_TASK} = lady;
$dbh = DBI-connect($connString, $ladyUser, $ladyPass,
{ AutoCommit=0, RaiseError=0, PrintError=0,
ora_check_sql=0 }) or die Could not connect to database: . DBI-errstr ;
... ...but I still keep getting the same error message at command line in unix:
naszcard@gustavo: /ou8/naszcard/sox = perl -c Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl
Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl syntax OK
naszcard@gustavo: /ou8/naszcard/sox = perl Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl -t
Could not connect to database: ORA-24327: need explicit attach before
authenticating a user (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin) at Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl
line 134.
FYI: line 134 is above - { AutoCommit=0, RaiseError=0, PrintError=0,
ora_check_sql=0 }) or die Could not connect to database: . DBI-errstr;
-So, after double-checking that I was using the correct SID, and banging my
head against the wall ;-), I commented out the 'use DBI;' and the section
above, and just tried to go straight to it, command line, and do it this way
instead:
my $tempCmd = sqlplus /nolog \@ . '/ou8/naszcard/sox/spool_lookup1b.sql
' . $gustavoUser $gustavoPass | grep ORA;
@oracleErrors = '$tempCmd';
if(@oracleErrors ne 0) {
$tempDate = `date`;
chomp($tempDate);
my $tempORAError = join(/n,@oracleErrors);
system(echo \Clapper_jjw_lookups.pl has failed due to ORACLE
ERROR(S): \n\n It is $tempDate \n\n $tempORAError\ | mailx -s \Moja Table
Lookups Errors\ \ $global_email \ );
exit;
}
~That produces this not very informative, error generated email:

You may need to change your connection string, depending on how your oracle
client is set up. mine is:
host=oracle.host.dns.name;sid=SID
As I dimly recall we had to make that change at some point in the past to get
dbi working, if you're not using the standard port, you need to put that in
there too.
