What's the best book for learning DBI and DBD::Oracle?
Hi, Please, I need to get a list of good books about Perl, that covers topics about the use of Oracle with scripts Perl. Topics like DBI, DBD::Oracle, of course. I need to make the following: install Perl and a web-server in one PC and make the scripts communicate with a Database in another, both machine are in a local net. I need some book that covers this type of problem. What about this one: Programming the Perl DBI (O'Reilly - by Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce)? Did someone read it? Is it a good book? Regards. - Adriano Sastre Vieira Especialista em Sistemas Inatel Competence Center +55 35 3471 9335 http://www.inatel.br

The 'eagle' (mod_perl) book is another good thing to deal with. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W. Palmer Workhorse Computing Chicago, IL 60647 +1 800 762 1582

DBI FAQ. dbi-users mail archive also answers quite a few questions. The DBI and DBD::Oracle POD are also useful (hey: documentation that works!). Examples that come with DBI & DBD stuff also might help. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W. Palmer Workhorse Computing Chicago, IL 60647 +1 800 762 1582

I'll bet at least one person on this group has a copy of this book :-) When I was REALLY unfamiliar with DBI I found the FAQ, usenet, and this group to be the most useful (in that order). Tim's book initially seemed to me was like an explanation about how the rocketship was built rather than how to pilot the rocketship but once I became more experienced (we are talking a week or two here) I found useful information in the very same chapters that initially caused my eyes to glaze over. "Good" is a loaded term. I think it is a good book for people who already have a basic idea what they are doing (who aren't starting with no knowledge of PERL or their OS). -Matt > What about this one: Programming the Perl DBI (O'Reilly - by Alligator > Descartes, Tim Bunce)?

Programming the Perl DBI by Tim:-) Also look for an upcomming O'Reilly title on your topic:-) (hint, hint) Ilya -Original Message- From: Matthew Ramadanovic To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 4/17/02 1:26 PM Subject: RE: What's the best book for learning DBI and DBD::Oracle?
