* a description of what you're planning to contribute
Sybase-object_info-1.0 Rdpf Pull table attributes from sys tables
*Simple* module that queries syscolumns and systypes and returns hash with the
table/field attributes like col order, col type, col usertype, col precision
etc.
Sybase-Xfer-1.0 RdpO Transfer data between sybase servers
Fairly robust module to facilitate the transfer of data from one Sybase
server to another. Can supply 'where clauses' and specify to 'auto delete'
records in target table. Hooks for perl callbacks on errors. 'source' can
be another Sybase table, any valid SQL string, or a Perl sub.
Uses Sybase::DBlib.
* It would be very nice, if you could also send a note about where you have
discussed some or all parts of your contribution publicly, and if there was
at least a little bit of interest.
In an environment where more than server exists, usually at a minimum a
test server and a production server, but sometimes when it is necessary
to build a data mart from many different servers it's a boon to have a
module that can transfer data every which way possible. Plus the capability
to intercept data and change it if desired and all driven by command
switches.
I use it at my company quite often and many people have wished they'd have
known about it sooner. So I figured I'd share the wealth with the
whole perl community.
Yeah, I know. if I'd used DBI we'd be able to transfer data between different
makes and models of servers. I gotta crawl first before I can walk...
