Thanks george for the links and apologies for my relaxed attitude. I did check up the http://www.poitschke.de/libsqlora8/ site and went through the code.
Unfortunately it seems that won't solve my purpose. Actually this code is written for Oracle8, which I believe doesnot support user-defined object retrieval using OCI. A casual glance over the code shows that there are no OCI calls like OCIDefineObject, OCIObjectNew etc. which may be needed to define place holders for return values on a statement fetch. I'd appreciate any further comments. Thanks and regards, Siddharth. --- George Schlossnagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No offense, but you couldn't have looked too hard. > 30 seconds on CPAN > led me to: > > http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Oraperl/TIMB/Oracle- > OCI-0.06.tar.gz, > a tar ball with the latest veriosn of the perl > module mentioned.
