Lisa,
What gives you that idea? Seriously. Is there some piece
of documentation that is telling you that? If so I would love
to see it.
DBI is a database interface for Perl. DBD::Oracle is the module
that allows DBI to talk to Oracle databases.
Sqlplus has nothing to do with this.
There's an example of connecting to Oracle with Perl at the end
of this message.
Check out www.perl.com and search for DBI tutorials. Better yet,
get 'Programming the Perl DBI'.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Good morning everyone,
I apologize for the OT post.
I was looking at the DBI. It suddenly occurred to me that I can only
connect to sql*plus with this. I'm not minimizing it's usefulness, but I
am wondering if I can use a perl script to fire off the rman backup, scan
the log for errors, mail the log, etc. everything I used to do in ksh.
Any examples of a "host" type command or something that may possibly meet
my needs would be greatly appreciated and rewarded by a virtual monkey
beer :)
Thank you
