RE: Parsing
Ah, first this is a DBI list and this is a non-database related question. But as a hint, take a look at Text::CSV_XS, which will allow you to do what you want without any replacements, since CVS fillows strict rules. You can even do it with a pretty simple regex, but you should use the module I mentioned.

If I run the insert without the column which contains
a number (e.g. run the query without the User_ID

run the query for only Numbers it works, but as soon
as I try to have strings and numbers inside my
@execute_args array my code breaks. We're running
Oracle 8i.
If I expressly say to_num(?) for the num column Then
the query works when the rest of the columns are
strings.
This whole issue seems to be 'quirky' and it's
probably my lack of Oracle thats causing me to do
somethign stupid, but I can't tell what.
Any help would be so much appreciated!

I wonder ... how about adding a method

my $sth = shift;
my $pos = (ref($_[0]) ? 1 : shift);

No need. See below.
So that this could be shortened to

$sth-bind_param_inout($#execute_args+1,\$new_id,38);

$sth-bind_param_inout($#execute_args+1,

I'll add that to the docs.

RE: web development tool
I just looked at it, although it claims to be like Struts, having used Struts for a while, I truly don't see how. Struts creates bindings between your objects's properties and methods and is easy to set up. Basically you create a class for Model (your business logic), then use JSP for view and Struts serves as a controller. Within JSP you embed the logic, although Maypole tries, there is more to struts, build in error classes, that repost back to forms with errors, etc..., redirection based on business logic, and many many more features. But Maypole is new, maybe they'll get there one day. Ilya -Original Message- From: Scott T.

This is an excellent tool that allows you to write database independent code for any application that interfaces with a database. The major pro of DBI is that if you write your apps for Oracle (DBD::Oracle), that sometime down the road if you change your database to DB2, that your code will not have to change much - assuming that you don't take advantage of oracle-specific functionality provided by Oracle.

RE: web development tool
Hardy, Specifically, we need to do Oracle database development running in a browser, which includes: - add, delete, modify records Ah, yes, what do you think database interface stands for??? - display on-screen reports of that data That's up to you to pull the data and generate the output, in HTML or any other format you want. Has nothing to do with Perl DBI nor any other language's db interface module. - print hard-copy reports Again, printing has nothing to do with the database. If you want to generate the report in Excel, again you'd use DBI to pull the data and then output to Excel or what ever format you'd want. There are modules available for almost any propietary format. - run batch processes Ah, that's cron on *NIX systems and something else on Windows. Again, DBI won't do that for you, but neither will any other language's db class. - allow for concurrent use Yes, it does. Depends on how robust you need the application to be, concurrency depends on your database server, DBI just connects to it, the server manages the rest. If you want database connection pooling, you might want to look into mod_perl, though you can also achieve that with a regular perl interpreter. mod_perl is similar to (J2EE) java application server where it maintains it's state within the actual server threading. We've already put together some simple Perl / HTML / SQL scripts that display data, but I just didn't know if Perl and HTML were robust enough to do all the aforementioned. Perl, just like most other languages can handle anything, it just depends on how you want to handle things. Honestly, if you are looking to create enterprise level large web applications (and this doesn't sound like one), Java has a better support for development patterns, especially MVC (Struts). You might want to look into that, but for all else, perl is perfect. Ilya
RE: DBI Module.

RE: DBI Module.
What connection pooling? You have one open database connection and the rest of the scripts wait for it? There is no concurrent access happening. The only thing that might matter is if you're using threads and/or processes. Each db vendor has different concurrent license schemes, I always found it very annoying, as they themselves don't know a clear definition of it, just ask any sales person at that company, but they basically leave it open so that they can charge large enterprises more by furnishing them a different definition of the license each time it suites their needs. -Original Message- From: Terry Maragakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 12:50 PM To: Sterin, Ilya (I.); Tim Bunce; Dave Mullen - Marikina CGI Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: DBI Module.

RE: DBI Module.
Commercial databases have commercial support behind them, that's what is driving it. Most non-IT companies, do not want to invest in internal departments that are responsible for supporting an open source software product. Until a giant like IBM, HP, or similar puts their support behind an open source db product, you will not see wide enterprise adoption of them. And I totally agree with the CIOs, CEOs, etc... Money is not necessarily an issue, at least it's not when it comes to business continuity. Here is a good example. We sold a large company on SuSE (before Novell bought them and put their support behind them). My sales guy was great, but 7 months later they ran into a support issue and SuSE at the time offered 24/7 enteprise support from Germany. No problem right, well they called to get an answering machine, send an email that came back with questions about the specifics. In the case of a large corporation, they would either send someone on site within 4 hours, or help by phone right away. There is also the risk of a small company going under, etc... Not many companies are willing to take the risk these days, that's why other benefits are important. Before Linux became enterprise ready, with Novell, IBM, HP support behind it, you rarely saw any public company adapt it in mission critical environments, that has now changed. Though this is a case for open source DBs right now and because IBM has their own db product, they won't put support behind MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Oi, Why would anyone want to pay thousands for that when there are so many free ones that work the same or better? Tell you what, I'll build you an SQL server for the low low price of $10,000 incuding the hardware, OS, and database system. I'd make about $9000 on the deal for doing hardly anything at all, which is what the informix people seem to be doing :) Or I'll license you the same server that you can have persistant connections and unlimited queries for $3000 a year. That way your apps will be faster running persistantly and you don't have to worry about too many queries costing you too much. Does it really charge bases on the amount of queries or connection time? I'm sure everyone has reasons for tossing cash into the fire but I'm not real clear on why... Just .02 from a MySQL guy (IE mostly ignorant of the others by choice) :) Sorry for being sort of OT, won't happen again :)
RE: DBI Module.
I know Tim will kill me for this OT stuff:-) I feel the likely hood of the economy changing and causing major issues for big companies is way more likely than the open source community to stop supporting and developing. It's not that the open source community doesn't support, it's that it's an unstructured/unguranteed support structure. Do you guarantee me that if my Linux kernel came crashing in some specific environment that can't be easily debugged on a home computer, that Linus and the team will come running to the rescue? Within 4 hours? I doubt it, Linus might be spending time with his wife and the rest of the team might be on a geek cruise:-) I'm serious, and I used to think the same way as you, until we sold a few open source products and ran into huge support issues, that were raised before, but we convinced them otherwise. We actualy lost a few clients that way. To me all the enterprise level nonsense is just a bunch of big words Most are, but support and some other legal arrangements are very valid issues.
RE: Avoiding coding username/password directly into perl script
well, if your database requires a username/password, then you can't just pass it the path (DSN). Not even sure how you expect anyone to do that.

RE: Keeping PERL DBI Quiet

In php, I leave off the or die() statement and php doesn't fuss if those tables are not there. But with perl dbi, it fusses if the tables are missing even with the DIE command missing.

Can anyone help? Please let me know if this is not a clear explanation on

RE: DBD MySQL Installation Help...
You will have to at least install the myswl development libraries, so you won't have to install the server itself. And, no, you can't compile it without the libs... For windows, you can install the binary ppm but to run it you'll still need the proper dlls installed. I believe Randy's repository at the university of winnipeg, he includes the proper dlls in the ppm distros, so you don't have to install them. But I don't know of any non-win32 distros for DBD::Mysql binaries. Also, even if you do transfer the binaries, the mysql libraries might not work, given if they are compiled on different architectures. I don't know if there is a way to compile DBD::mysql statically, though I doubt it.

Actually, ~/perl does not have a directory in it called site_perl. In any
case it would not have to drill down, as with the @INC pointing to both
~/perl and ~/perl/DBI, it has access to two copies of DBI.pm.
The error is being thrown WITHIN DBI.pm, so clearly it is being
found...hence the confusion of how a module cannot find itself.
Is the @INC passed to all modules called within a script, or must @INC be
reconfigured within every module called? I can't imagine the latter is
true...

Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart,
Oddly, it seems there is an error within DBI, in that it can't find DBI.pm

I have two copies of DBI.pm: ~/perl/DBI.pm and ~/perl/DBI/DBI.pm (if that
might have anything to do with it).
Any ideas what to do to get DBI running?

RE: $dbh-unquote()
This depends on what field in the db you are writting to. If it's a raw
type or binary field, then you wouldn't have that problem. There might be
some conversion going on between the db field, as \n is not a standard
carriage return, it's the way Perl interpreter interprets carriage returns
on what ever platform it was build on. It might very possibly be converted
between an ascii field and DBI.

Well, if the file is transfered using FTP binary mode, the Unix new line is
never converted to a Windows new line, therefore, it won't show up on

Ok, I don't know how its happening either but here is the entire breakdown:
MySQL field: longtext
Step(1) - Text File is created on unix machine, transferred via FTP to a
Windows machine.
Step(2) - Perl script reads in the file and parses it grabbing certain lines
and inserts them into the database like so:
@inv_data = $dbh-quote(@inv_data);
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO ads_ff VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?), undef,
$inv_no,$ord_no,$date.'!',$tp,'1',$cust_po_num,$cust_num,@inv_data,
$mysql_date,$inv_tot,$file);
All the values are derived from substr() commands and passed to the method
which executes the latter.

That won't make any difference.
I don't know how your problem occurred in fact, but here's one way that
it *can* occur. Maybe this will shed some light on your problem.
$x = $dbh-quote (\n);
$dbh-do (INSERT INTO t SET col = $x);
That will insert a newline into the database.
$x = $dbh-quote ('\n');
$dbh-do (INSERT INTO t SET col = $x);
That will insert a literal backslash-n into the database.
See the difference?

Well, just using CGI, it's pretty complex. You'll have to somehow cache it in a running daemon and somehow share that env. Now if you are using mod_perl is pretty much doable and recommended, since the database connections attribute to about 80% of the slowdown of web applications, so caching the handles, will give you about an 80% speed gain, on average. I haven't done so in Perl, though I'm 99.% sure it's doable and not hard, since mod_perl keeps a persistant environment as other server build in solutions, like Servlets, JSP, ASP, etc... With Servlets and JSP, you'd use connection pooling, where a controller would say, cache about 5+ connections, and each thread would ask for an available connection, it will then recycle it back to the controller once done. I've seen some replies to this post saying, maybe and no, but the answer is definitely a big yes. The connection pooling is the major purpose of having a persistant environment like mod_perl. Actually, though I'm a big Perl supporter, for serious web apps, I would never really recommend CGI any more, as solutions like mod_perl, JSP, Servlets, ASP have such great benefits in every area, that it's almost not serious not to utilize them. Go mod_perl, get Geoff's and Randy's book, Mod_perl cookbook, and do persistant connection pooling.

Subject: Re: Having Problems with DBD::CSV (Ilya - FAQ?)
Hi David,
SQL string values must occur between single quotes, not double quotes:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = 'baz' CORRECT
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = baz WRONG
Values that have single quotes inside them must not appear in the SQL as
raw single, quotes, they must be escaped. In DBD::CSV they can be
escaped with either a backslash or by using two single quotes (not a
double quote):
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = 'Tim O\'Reilly' CORRECT
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = 'Tim O''Reilly' CORRECT
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = 'Tim O'Reilly' WRONG
Although you can manually escape the quotes, it is much better to use
the methods provided by DBI to handle this situation (in all DBDs, not
just DBD::CSV) - the $dbh-quote() method and placeholders. See the DBI
docs for the quote() method and placeholders.
The placeholders method is best since it also offers other protections.
Here's a sample:
my $sth = $dbh-prepare(
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = ?
);
$sth-execute(Tim O'Reilly);
Notice the O'Reilly is not escaped, the placeholder method does that for
you. Also notice that there are no quotes around the question mark in
the SQL. If you always use placeholders or the quote() method, you
won't have to manually escape anything and you won't have to know or
care whether values have embedded quotes.
Placeholders can also be passed as part of a do() call, so here's a
small script that illustrates four different ways to correctly use
embedded single quotes:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
my $table = 'foo';
my $dbh = DBI-connect('dbi:CSV(RaiseError=1):')
or die $DBI::errstr;
my $val = q~Tim O'Reilly~;
my $escaped_val1 = q~Tim O\'Reilly~;
my $escaped_val2 = q~Tim O''Reilly~;
my $quoted_val = $dbh-quote($val);
$dbh-do(DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $table);
$dbh-do(CREATE TABLE $table ( id INTEGER, txt CHAR(4) ));
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO $table VALUES (1,?),{},$val);
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO $table VALUES (2,'$escaped_val1'));
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO $table VALUES (3,'$escaped_val2'));
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO $table VALUES (4,$quoted_val));
my $sth=$dbh-prepare(SELECT * FROM $table);
$sth-execute;
while (my $r=$sth-fetch) {
print @$r\n;
}
Except for the method of escaping quotes (which can vary between SQL
implementations) all of this applies to any DBD, not just DBD::CSV.

Ok, code wise, nothing is failing. Your first problem is there is no need to do (or
die $DBI::errstr) since you set RaiseError on. Also, you should disable PrintError,
you don't need it printed twice. PrintError is like warning, if both RaiseError and
PrintError are turned on, then you get the messages twice.
also, the print $DBI::errstr is useless.

I'm running postgresql 7.3, perl 5.6.0, DBI 1.30 on mac os x 10.2 and
am having trouble with inserting values ending in a question mark.
I first tried interpolating the value into a query string:
$dbh-do(INSERT INTO ref (citekey, title) VALUES ('why?', 'bob'));
This doesn't raise an error, but the values get inserted into the
database as
citekey | title
-+---
whyNULL | bob
Using $dbh-quote did not resolve the problem. My best guess was
that the ? is interpreted as a placeholder which isn't being bound to
anything, and I could not figure out how to escape it from the DBI,
so I tried using placeholders as:
my $sth = $dbh- prepare('INSERT INTO ref (citekey, title) VALUES
(?,?)');
$sth-execute('bob', 'what?');
$sth-execute('why?', 'john');
The first execute works fine; the second fails with
DBD::PgPP::st execute failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or
near john at character 47
What might I be missing here?

Hi,
I'm having a problem inserting a row into my database with a CLOB column. My database

bytes. However, if it is = 4948, I get an Oracle error ORA-03113 end-of-file on

I'm using the following statement to bind my variable to my insert statement:
$sth-bind_param(2, $file_text);
I have the feeling that I should be doing something like $sth-bind_param(2,
$file_text, {TYPE=SQL_ ); but I can't find the correct TYPE.
The DBI module I'm using (version 0.90 I think) only has the following sql_types
defined:
SQL_CHAR=1
SQL_NUMERIC=2
SQL_DECIMAL=3
SQL_INTEGER=4
SQL_SMALLINT=5

No, you can't. Access is not a complex server database system. You
can
only access it locally. The only way you can facilitate a remote
access to
it, is using DBD::Proxy.

Subject: Perl SV* Question
Hi,
Can somebody please advise me how to extract the string value from an SV *
variable ?
I will really appreciate your help!
I am trying to use the SvPV macro. String returned by the SvPV is getting
trimmed off when a small portion of SV* variable contains some non-ascii
characters ( Cobol COMP-3 ). The length of the string returned by this
macro is correct full length.
Thanks,
Abi.
Sample Code:
==
SvToString ( SV *sv_data, char *datstr ) {
STRLEN len ;
if ( SvPOK(sv_data) ) {
datstr = (char *) SvPV(sv_data, len) ;
}
printf(%s\n, datstr ) ;
}
datstr values is getting chopped off from where the COMP-3 non-ascii starts
expected value of datstr is, --ASCIINON-ASCIIASCII--
but I am getting --ASCII--

That's fine, we can do that:-) Also though, remember that PPM is supposed to take care of the dependencies for you, as far as Perl version, build, etc...

This script can be to (I can't remember where at this point) to be run when PPM installs and is included in the PPM packages.

Make sure you're using the latest DBD::Oracle.
Send a trace(8) log - just the part from prepare thru execute.

Help! I'm having a severe performance problem with a Perl program
talking
to a remote Oracle database. I've read the DBI DBM perldocs, the

To characterize the problem, I've created a small, transportable
program
that will run on my PC and on the UNIX workstation where the program
has to
run. The program completes in about 20 seconds on my PC, and about 20
minutes on the UNIX workstation. The program pulls approx. 38k
records from
a 1.2M record table. On both, the query appears to prepare and execute
promptly. The problem appears to be fetching the data to the client.
I did
a trace that shows the issue. It seems to just take a long time to do
all
these fetches to get the results. Is there anything configurable in
DBI
that could affect this? The UNIX server is a multi-processor machine,
low
CPU utilization, though the disk gets a good workout.

RE: fetchrow_array
It's doing what it is supposed to. Fetches the first row, which only has one record. The reason it has an array in it, is because it would fetch an array if you selected more than one column. Now, you can either iterate using while through each row and push() into an array, or... use selectrow_array() to fetch all at once.

Version 0.03 now allows an event driven interface to transformations.
You can define an event handler, and transform values as you'd like if
custom formating is needed.
Here is an example...
#
use DBI;
use DBI::Dump;
my $dbh = DBI-connect(...);
my $sth = $dbh-prepare(select * from users);
$sth-execute();
my $exceldb = DBIx::Dump-new();
$exceldb-dump('format' = 'excel', 'output' = 'db2.xls', 'sth' = $sth,
'eventHandler' = \handler);
my $count = 0;
sub handler
{
my ($self, $data, $colName, $row) = @_;
my $format;
if ($count == 0)
{
$format = $self-{Generator}-addformat(); # Add a format
$format-set_bold();
$format-set_color('red');
$format-set_align('center');
$self-{excelFormat} = $format;
}
$count++;
if ($row == 2)
{
$self-{excelFormat} = undef;
$format = $self-{Generator}-addformat(); # Add a format
$format-set_num_format(0x0f);
}
if ($row 1 $colName == 'ACQUISITION DATE')
{
$self-{excelFormat} = $format;

RE: Uploaded to CPAN: DBIx::Dump
That would be fine. I was thinking in terms of supporting data formats that can't be queried, though why DBD is sort of not an issue here. Though AnyData.pm, I haven't looked at the source, I'm not sure if Jeff wants to add these misceleneous data structures. Also... I just added an event driven interface to DBIx::Dump, which allows to define event handlers and due on the fly transformations/formatting before outputting. Not sure about the AnyData interface and if it will allow for such additions without much reprogramming. Jeff???

The problem is that the FAQ is running on a server for which the default mail address is used for another purpose and I can't subscribe with it.

Actually I can set up some event handlers in DBIx::Dump, which will allow

reformatting dates from the output of MySQL to the desired Excel format.
Here is a same of what I am attempting:

Desired Excel date: 9/2/2002 13:13
I know that there is a set_num_format function in the WriteExcel

transforming
one date format to another date format. Any help would be greatly

How much simpler can you get than this (requires only AnyData, not
