I use perl to automate various Database Administration tasks for several Oracle databases. With Oracle 9.x, to perform certain administrative tasks, you must connect as sysdba. From sqlplus, the syntax is: sqlplus "/@dbname as sysdba" Does anybody know of a way to simulate this type of connect

We are testing a new version of the Perl DBD linked with the new Oracle 9i client libraries. I have two Oracle.so files, one in ~/old_perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so and one in ~/new_perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so. I can swit

If you're on Oracle, you can do: SELECT nvl(max(some_item),0) FROM db WHERE item = 'something' That will give you 0 if there are no "something" and will give you the value. Paul Rensel wrote: >Hi there, > >I want to use a "select max(some_item) from db where item = 'something" >query. > >How c
