AW: UNIX : script help/input

2003-10-02 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

Speaking of Perl, ... maybe somebody (Jared) can help out with some Perl /
Windows problems:
I'm using ActiveState 5.6 with DBI module, which works fine. Now, since I
basically work within a CygWin environment on my laptop, I installed perl
there, but there are no DBI modules. The basic problem is, that in order to
get the DBI stuff compiled within cygwin, you would need a unix/cygwin
wrapper for the OCI dlls, which are common windows dlls coming with the
Oracle client (9.2.0.4) in order to import OCI stuff correctly, which is
needed by DBI (at least I think so). The dlltool doesn't really help me
here, since the dlls supplied by Oracle seem to be stripped (at least,
dlltool can't find any symbols). If I try:

$ nm oci.dll | grep ' T _' | sed 's/.* T _//'  oci.def

I only get:

nm: oci.dll: no symbols

Does anybody have an idea how to use the windows oci (or any other Oracle
dll) from cygwin ?
Otherwise I can also go ahead and toss out cygwin, since accessing Oracle is
basically all I need it for.

Regards,
Stefan

 Good! The more the merrier! Welcome to the club.

Oh most definitely.

As I just finished writing a prototype package for assigning MAC
addresses ( we make network stuff - that's a technical term ), I
have endured the agonies of doing hex math in PL/SQL.

I finally bit the bullet and used string manipulation to convert
hex to decimal and do what I needed that way.  Couldn't get BITAND
to work properly on very large integers. Besides, doing XOR with
BITAND in PL/SQL is very painful.

UTL_RAW has an XOR, but it requires RAW values and I didn't feel
like messing with it.

This is all very simple in Perl.

Given a MAC of 5AA, with a fixed portion of 500,
it is very easy to determine the variable portion of the address
via $x = 0x5AA ^ 500.

Not quite so simple in PL/SQL.

Title: RE: UNIX : script help/input





XOR  that gives me some painful memories in recent days ... xor is possible in pl/sql but needs a little work. I migrated a C encryption code to pl/sql and then use utl_tcp to sent it to our router which feeds the modem banks.

This is how I worked on it ... but I was working on character by character ...


xor(a,b) is
r_a := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(chr(a));
r_b := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(chr(b));
n_xor := to_number(utl_raw.bit_xor(r_a,r_b),'');



Of course the manual doesn't tell you this ...

Left pad with zeroes, take a substring, feed it to the handy-dandy

Jared, what Oracle edition do you use? I'm asking because you might
want to consider not to use 'handy-dandy' hex/oct/bin/dec converter
package, but TO_CHAR/TO_NUMBER in case it's = 8i -- it would work
faster.

I'd suggest to consider external C function -- it's faster, it's
easier to write especially when you need to work with bits, shifts
etc.. I've recently implemented crc32 for some internal project --
works well, obviously faster than SQL, PL/SQL and native comp of
PL/SQL code. Native comp. is also good to consider, if it's 9i.
Sure, it depends...

Title: RE: UNIX : script help/input






it was actually C code ... but because data is going on a modem, the pl/sql speed is acceptable (in fact we have to _wait_ after sending out each message). Had fun doing that though ... it is critical, tied to our SLA ... so must be up all the time. I'd rather handle exceptions in pl/sql than in C.

works well, obviously faster than SQL, PL/SQL and native comp of

This database is 8i.

I would probably still use the package, as it does octal, hex and binary
as well as base 36 and 64.

Jared, what Oracle edition do you use? I'm asking because you might
want to consider not to use 'handy-dandy' hex/oct/bin/dec converter
package, but TO_CHAR/TO_NUMBER in case it's = 8i -- it would work
faster.

SELECT TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR('0x50AA', -6), 'FM0X') dec

I would be tempted to use Java for this rather than C.

Much more portable than external procedures, an important distinction
in a heterogenous shop.

I supposed if you send to a file, we can read it using ORACLE to parse 
it w/plsql and then using utl_file write it back out but seems like 
overkill to use oracle for that, but then again this is an oracle list, 
so i'll have to assume thats what you wanted, anyone up for the task :)

 Good! The more the merrier! Welcome to the club.

Oh most definitely.

As I just finished writing a prototype package for assigning MAC
addresses ( we make network stuff - that's a technical term ), I
have endured the agonies of doing hex math in PL/SQL.

I finally bit the bullet and used string manipulation to convert
hex to decimal and do what I needed that way.  Couldn't get BITAND
to work properly on very large integers. Besides, doing XOR with
BITAND in PL/SQL is very painful.

UTL_RAW has an XOR, but it requires RAW values and I didn't feel
like messing with it.

This is all very simple in Perl.

Given a MAC of 5AA, with a fixed portion of 500,
it is very easy to determine the variable portion of the address
via $x = 0x5AA ^ 500.

Not quite so simple in PL/SQL.

BITAND in PL/SQL works for INTEGER/PLS_INTEGER only.

Sure!

Given a MAC of 5AA, with a fixed portion of 500,
it is very easy to determine the variable portion of the address
via $x = 0x5AA ^ 500.
Not quite so simple in PL/SQL.
Globally unique addresses are allocated by the IEEE in blocks containing 2^24
(16,777,216) addresses. In each allocation, the first 3 octects are fixed (e.g.
00-00-0C is Cisco) and the last three octects are variable (e.g. 00-00-00
through FF-FF-FF). The fixed portion of the allocation is known formally as the
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), and infomally as the Ethernet Vendor
ID. Often, the OUI portion of a MAC address is extremely helpful in indentifying
which physical piece of equipment is generating a particular packet.
00-00-50 is for RADISYS CORPORATION, right?

x := SUBSTR('0x50AA', -6);

Then you can use BITAND. However, I'm not saying that PL/SQL is better
than perl -- every language has its own purpose.
