Maybe I can combine 2 kind of charts to make it look like a real
candlestick?

Thanks for Help!

Sorry, no (or not yet). Another item on the (altogether too long)
TODO list, and I don't know when I'll be able to get a new release
out. Patches welcome.

You might be able to hack something with stacked floating barcharts,
but thats probably as close as you'll get with the current code.

Re: FW: Double Quoting in Table names causing dynamic method access failures

2007-07-31 Thread Greg Sabino Mullane

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: RIPEMD160


 I agree that Class::DBI may be involved.  However, the module Class::DBI
 specifically is not installed.

There is no doubt that Class::DBI is intimately involved here. The error 
is coming from:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Class/DBI/Loader/Generic.pm

 In this file, the following method is called:
 (In this method the value of $table is 'access'; and I do mean '(double
 quote)access(double quote)' (without the single quotes of course). The
 double quoting of the table name is where the problem stems from.)
  Begin Method 
 sub set_up_table {
 my ( $class, $table, $opts ) = @_;
...
 SELECT a.attname, a.attnum
 FROM ${catalog}pg_class c, ${catalog}pg_attribute a
 WHERE c.relname = ?

Yep, that's the problem. Looks like DBI::Class is mixing and matching 
relation names. If they want to use the tablenames raw for use in 
system catalogs, they should probably be getting the table names 
themselves: I suspect they are getting them through DBI/DBD::Pg, which is 
properly quoting them. The quotes are for people doing things like

$SQL = UPDATE $table SET foo=12 WHERE foo=24;

The only time the quotes will mess things up is when people do things like 
try to put those values directly into pg_class.

Alternatively, there are aready DBI methods to get the primary key 
for a table: see primary_key_info. This looks like a Class::DBI bug: 
they need to either get all the information themselves via the system 
catalogs, or rely on DBI (via DBD::Pg) to get it for them. The mixing 
and matching is causing the problems.

I'm not very familiar with Class::DBI, but I'd definitely check there 
first, and see if this has been reported on a mailing list or a bug 
report, or raise the issue on one or both yourself.

Getting DBD::Ingres for ActivePerl

2007-07-31 Thread Stephane Dupille
  Hello,

  I try to get DBD::Ingres working for ActivePerl, but I have som
problems to get it compiled correctly (in one word : it works on the
machine with the dev environment, but I cannot manage to deploy it).

  Do you have any clue about getting the PPM already done ?

  Many thanks.

Guidance on setting up multiple database handles to be used in one script

2007-07-31 Thread Russ
Over time the need to connect to the same database in different
scripts became apparent.  To do this I began by creating a package
that contained all the $dbh handles (not advisable) as if one fails
then your whole script is no good.   So I then split them into
individual packages for each connect handler.  Again not good if you
need to connect to multiple databases in your script, but aren't
dependent on all of them having to work.

So is there a good way to manage database connections only.  So that
multiple scripts can use the same connection  but it is defined in the
one place.  Should I explore DBI::Ingres.  or is there another easier
way, other than defining the connection in each script I create.

Comments on stability of SQLite for storage

2007-07-31 Thread Daniel Kasak
Greetings.

I'm beginning a project where I have to store some stuff on the disk
somehow. At present, I'm using SQLite *only* for temporary storage. I
had planned to dump data ( which is basically config data, but is
absolutely critical in terms of keeping the project held together ) to
either XML or CSV, but now this is getting more cumbersome that I'd
expected.

Who has some anecdotal evidence about the reliability of SQLite files
for storing data? Should I drop the XML / CSV idea and just use SQLite?
