Does anyone know of a way to get numbers (as I've described) back from
DBD::Oracle.
If you know the data is integer try:
while($s->fetch) {
push @data, int($num);
etc()
}
I do know it is an integer but so does DBD::Oracle and Oracle. I was
hoping to avoid doing int($x) or $x+0 or $x*1 etc etc everywhere I had
an integer, especially since a lot of the code uses fetchall_arrayref
which means looping though all rows and integer columns changing them or
changing the code to loop on fetch. I guess I don't see why a known
integer cannot look like an integer once retrieved without me manually
changing it.
If any other DBDs do something special for integers please let me know
as I'm thinking of looking at this for DBD::ODBC too.
