Re: [PHP-DB] Oracle problem
Perhaps it would be easier to use bind variables instead. For example,
$empno = 1234;
$ename = O'Reilly;
$conn = OCILogon('scott', 'tiger');
$sql = 'INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename) VALUES (:empno, :ename)';
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql);
OCIBindByName(':empno', $empno, -1);
OCIBindByName(':ename', $ename, -1);
OCIExecute($stmt);

[PHP-DB] Updating a CLOB-- OCI_INVALID_HANDLE
Hello, Has anyone come across difficulty updating a CLOB in Oracle? I have been able to follow the documentation to insert a new clob by first inserting an EMPTY_CLOB() into the row, and then calling the save method of the OCINewDescriptor/CLOB locator: $conn = OCILogon(username, password, connect_string); $clob_loc = OCINewDescriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB); $sql = INSERT INTO emp (empno, name, life_story) VALUES (emp_seq.NEXTVAL, :name, EMPTY(CLOB)) RETURNING life_story INTO :clob_loc; $stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql); OCIBindByName($stmt, :name, $name, -1); OCIBindByName($stmt, :life_story, $clob_loc, -1, OCI_B_CLOB); OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); $clob_loc-save($new_life_story); However, attempts to SELECT life_story INTO :clob_loc FROM emp WHERE empno = 123 FOR UPDATE have failed. Similarly, UPDATE emp SET name = 'NEW_NAME' WHERE empno = 123 RETURNING life_story INTO :clob_loc have also failed. The error message is the same: Warning: OCILobWrite: OCI_INVALID_HANDLE in /home/acarlos/update.php on line 16. However, if I update the row and set the CLOB column to anything new (including EMPTY_CLOB()), no error occurs. When it fails, I've checked the class of the OCINewDescriptor and it is indeed an object with 6 class methods (as it should be). Has anyone run into this? Is this a bug in PHP's implementation of OCI? Also, is there a limit to the amount of data that can be stored in the CLOB using this method? My uploads have been truncated to a little less than 32K. And I thought using a CLOB was supposed to give me access to 4GB... Thanks for any insight!

Re: [PHP-DB] creating an Oracle variable...
Bona:
You're using OCIParse incorrectly. It's used to parse SQL commands. The var
statement that you quoted is a SQL*Plus command. That is, you're defining a
variable in SQL*Plus. That's why you're getting an Invalid SQL Command
error.
Use the OCIBindByName to bind a PHP variable (you're using test) to an
Oracle placeholder, which is denoted by a preceding colon.
e.g.,
$sql = INSERT INTO emp (ename) VALUES (:ename_placeholder);;
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql);
OCIBindByName($stmt,:ename_placeholder,$empno,32);
$empno = Bona;
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);

RE: [PHP-DB] oracle (oci8) intro
That's interesting. I haven't had to do too many queries with lots of computed columns. I'll defer to you and double check my queries. On the other hand, I have not run into any problems with truncated column data. With regards to the server side cursors, why not send an anonymous PL/SQL block? I don't suppose that it has to be a stored procedure... Perhaps you're talking about the ability to output the result set from a PL/SQL block to PHP. That's a curious puzzle. I haven't given it much thought, mainly because I'm not too good at writing dynamic SQL in PL/SQL (which is even less arbitrary, I believe, than the code I wrote below), but what would happen if you built a PL/SQL table or array and bound that to a PHP variable?

I'm quite a seasoned developer, but have only experience with MySQL so far. It's my understanding that Oracle lacks the MySQL's LIMIT feature. Looking at the OCI section of the PHP manual, it also looks like there's no OCIDataSeek() or some equivalent. Since the app I need to build will be a standard report builder with paging, I need this functionality. What is the common way to achieve this? Always fetch all rows, cycling through the resultset, discarding the records that preceed the one I want to start displaying with, and quit when I reach the one where the page should end? Is there a PHP + OCI tutorial somewhere? I need an intro to Oracle, and I need it now. :( Thies has an Oracle/PHP tutorial online at http://conf.php.net/ which may be of some assitance. The LIMIT problem is a real bitch is Oracle. There are a few ways to get around it, the most obvious people use being ROWNUM. However, ROWNUM does not listen to sorting which makes life amusing. One option is to try a query like the following: SELECT * FROM (SELECT field1, field2 FROM table WHERE id10 ORDER BY field1 DESC) WHERE ROWNUM11 which gives you 10 rows, but still leaves the question of paging behind unless you use between values. I can't say I've tried paging record sets though.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Oracle CLOBs and carriage returns
Hi folks.
I have an interesting problem with regards to data I am retrieving from
a CLOB stored in my database.
The data consists of several paragraphs of information with multiple
carriage returns and other formatting mechanisms.
Now when I attempt to retrieve the data and display it on the web page,
it comes out as one giant line and all carriage returns and tabbing
seems to have been obliterated.
Here is the code I am using:
$sql_comments = OCIParse($connection,SELECT COMMENTS FROM INCIDENT
WHERE INCIDENT='$incident');
OCIExecute($sql_comments);
while ( OCIFetchInto($sql_comments, $row, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
$lob_data = $row[COMMENTS]-load();
echo $lob_data;
}
I know the information is stored correctly since a SQL query from the
command line works properly and all formatting is displayed.
Any thoughts?
Tom

Re: [PHP-DB] long or LOBs in oracle ???
Andy: Go with the CLOB. As you stated, you can have more than one CLOB defined in a table. Also, you can pull out data randomly instead of sequentially. Plus, the data can reside inline (for less than 4KB) or out of line for bigger values. The key to making it work is using the DBMS_LOB package. See the Oracle documentation on this to get an idea, then ask a more specific question. If you're a member of technet, you'll be able to read this: http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/appdev. 817/a76936/toc.htm If not, join up ASAP! (It's free).

Hi everybody, I have a little question. What is the best datatype to put large character data into (more than 5.000-20.000 letters). Maybe a CLOB or a long ? I am quiet new to oracle so I don't know so much about the LOBs and how Oracle handles it. On thing is, that I have to use more than one large field in one table, this means that I cannot use the long type, because only one is allowed, right. OK Then I think there is only a LOB Type (maybe the CLOB is the best for my stuff). I tried it, but I cannot put the data in the normal way into the field, like I am used to with MYSQL longtext type. How can I put LOB data into the DB via PHP or is there an other method to put large character data into the DB, can anybody help me thanx in advance, Andy -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP-DB] problems connecting to remote oracle database
Phil, Perhaps I'm being nit-picky, but shouldn't it be OCILogon($user, $PASSWORD, $connect_string); ? Anthony From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2001 09:39:11 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] problems connecting to remote oracle database Hi folks, I'm having difficulties getting php4 to connect to a remote oracle database. I have an entry in tnsnames.ora, along the lines of shorthostname = (etc, etc) and I can use sqlplus user/name@shorthostname to connect just fine, as a regular user. Even without ORACLE_SID set, since I have it set in tnsnames.ora for that entry But when I try ocilogin(user,name,shorthostname); on a php page, I get a printout of oracle error 01017: authentication failed. The listener log on that oracle machine confirms that I am actually attempting to connect. But no details on what's going wrong.

RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB
Yes, it can be installed via command line. There is mention of it in the installation guide. I've never been able to make it work, however, and I don't believe that Oracle is supporting it as much as its GUI Universal Installer. On the other hand, I have used the Universal Installer over an ssh connection that forwards X-Windows packets. Therefore, I was able to use it remotely via an X-Windows terminal on my PC.

Jeff, As far as I know, you cannot get *only* the Oracle client for Linux. When I called Oracle Worldwide Support and asked for one, they sent me the whole Oracle 8i installation package for Linux. No problem, though -- when you start the install on your Linux machine, you can choose to install only the client. That's what I did, and it's working fine connecting to the Oracle 8i database on our Sun. -Original Message- From: Mindblender [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 12:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB I read a post on faqt.com that said that I could connect to a remote Oracle DB if I had the Oracle client installed.

RE: [PHP-DB] error ORA-12699
Sang,
Your tnsnames file appears to be misconfigured. It should look like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)))
The first line, ORCL =, lets you know what to use as your connect string.
In this case, you're calling your connect string ORCL. When you try to
login, you should use username/password@ORCL.
In PHP, you set the third argument to OCILogon to ORCL.
Here's what happens. When Oracle sees a connect string during a login
attempt, it checks the tnsnames.ora file to resolve it into a protocol,
address, and sid. In other words, ORCL is shorthand notation for all of the
TCP/IP info and then some.
I hope this makes sense,
Anthony

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] error ORA-12699
I have read some doc.
$connect_string is set to equal from tnsnames.ora.
$connect_string=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)));
I can connect my local oracle server before when using
OCILogon(system,manager);
But now , i cannot connect local oracle server!!
It is always said the ORA-12699 error!
I donot know what is wrong.

Sang,
Since you're trying to connect from another computer to the Oracle server,
you probably need to specify a connect string in the OCILogon command.
OCILogon('system', 'manager', $connect_string);
What's the value for $connect_string? It depends on how you've set-up your
Oracle networking. If you can access your DB from that client machine with
SQL*Plus, then you must be loging in via the following format:
sqlplus system/manager@connect_string
Use the value of connect_string for $connect_string. It should be
defined
in your tnsnames.ora file on your client, and have a corresponding entry
in
your listern.ora file on your server.
I suspect that your client machine is trying to access an Oracle database
on
itself, because no connect string was specified.
Lemme know if this helps,
Anthony

RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle and PHP
TathitSA, You'll need to have the Oracle networking software (Net8) installed on your Web server. Then, compile PHP with the Oracle directive turned on. These are just general concepts, but if this is incomprehensible, then please ask more questions before proceeding. For more details, see the installation manual , and if you don't understand what they say, ask a more specific question. I'll be happy to help translate whatever I can.

RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB
Jeff, When you run the graphical Oracle Installer program (require X-Windows), you can choose a custom installation and specify what you want to install. I don't know if you can get just the client for Linux, but the server software includes the client software. You can demo the software from technet.oracle.com. I have no idea how much it costs by itself.
