Another idea . . . You could also wrap Oracle SQLPlus in perl using qx
How-to SQLPLUS and XML here: https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:3512822500346787661 That and a little perl text parsing could get you a long way - split , grep, map, s and tr. This pure-perl module can parse the XML: https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::SAX::PurePerl It would be great to have an Oracle DBD driver using pure-perl and sqlplus only. No C complier needed, no buffer overflows to chase down, no jvm and no "other" languages (except SQL). (no time for this kind of perl-uber-hacking myself but anyone looking for a fun project . . . ) Another hack is to use perl with qx with jisql (and JDBC drivers) - I have used this to access Microsoft SQLServer from perl with little work. https://github.com/stdunbar/jisql Brian Fennell The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named in this transmission.
