Interesting, I've actually had to do this before. Be forewarned that this is not a good method to use for a very busy app, as it does introduce some level of serialization. control access to the sequence through a package Within the package use a function that sets a lock via dbms_lock.request

I heard from an Oracle instructor that some idiots were bragging about how they passed the OCP without logging in once. This distressed some important people, so this requirement was added. I asked if this meant each instructor was tasked with ensuring each student logged in, and he just smiled.

1) DBI is a perl module to handle the communication with various databases. 2) Postgres is free. I believe that you can buy commercial support, but I don't know where. May be Rich can jump in with that. 3) DBI is free and so is perl. I'm cheap easy, but not free. On 01/14/2004 02:34:52 PM,

DBI is an extension to perl language which can then be used by perl to talk with various databases. DBI stands for database interface. With DBI you also have to load in a specific database driver which is called DBD. For instance for oracle you have to install DBI and DBD::Oracle. Its really
