Perl on Oracle

Hallo,
For perl scripting over an Oracle Database , it is required to install DBI, usually shipped with perl, and DBD:Oracle, usually installed on an Oracle Client.
Is it safe to install DBD:Oracle on an Oracle Server with a live instance running? Does it imply a relinking of binaries?
TIA

There is a full version of Perl installed with the RDBMS, it has DBI built in already. You can use it, but it needs a little bit of config with shell vars to take full advantage of it. Obviously adding other modules is a not supported, but depends on how much you need to do with it.
Norbert Debes book Secrets of the Oracle Database, goes into how to take advantage of the Oracle supplied Perl kit.
http://apress.com/book/view/9781430219521
If you do decide to put DBI into the local Perl on your O/S, it will not damage a running instance. The O/S compiler simply needs access to the Oracle header and library files to link to.
You can also build Perl DBI against Oracle Instant Client, which we have done in my shop. It gives you a very lightweight Oracle client with which you can attach Perl to Oracle instances and saves having to install a huge RDBMS or full client kit.

Perl Scripting & Oracle

Where do I start with Scripting in Perl with Oracle?
Apart from Installing Perl, do i need any extra libraries to connect to an Oracle Database using a Perl Script?

both modules are separate installations. e.g. red hat provides a perl-dbi module for RHEL, AS, ... and the oracle dbd driver you can get here: http://search.cpan.org/~pythian/DBD-Oracle-1.19/Oracle.pm

Yasql and perl-DBD-Oracle for RH7

Hi
I have installed yasql-1.61-1.noarch.rpm on RH7 but am having problems locating an appropriate perl-DBD-Oracle compatable with perl 5.6.0 for RH7.
Any pointers (or alternatives) on getting this running for RH7 and perl 5.6.0 would be much appreciated.

If you installed the base rdbms and PRO*C and Networking,
BDB-Oracle-0.5[56789] should build out of the box.
Follow the instructions in the READMEs and you should be fine.
There is a mailing list (referenced in the DBD-Oracle docs)
where you should be able to get help.
For your TNS problem. Check to make sure
that your listenr.ora and tnsnames.ora files are correct.
Also, you might check that your listener is running.
It looks like an install on a system not connected to
a network does not do that - this will cause all kinds of
TNS problems

Java/JDBC slow compared to Perl/DBD-Oracle

Hopefully the subject is inflammatory enough to get some responses :-)
I'm thinking about converting a database-intensive Perl application to Java, but it's fairly database intensive. Things look pretty straightforward, but Oracle's OCI JDBC driver seems to run at about 2/3 the speed of Perl with the DBD-Oracle driver.
For comparison, here's the Java version:
=== SelectTest.java
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class SelectTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
int count = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@orcl.world",
"scott", "tiger");
String statement = "select * from dual";
OraclePreparedStatement stmt =
(OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(statement);
stmt.defineColumnType(1, Types.VARCHAR);
stmt.setRowPrefetch(1);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery();
rset.next();
String s = rset.getString(1);
rset.close();
stmt.close();
=== End of SelectTest.java
and here's the Perl version:
=== select_test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:dev.cag', 'cag', 'gac');
my $sth = $dbh->prepare('select * from dual');
for (1 .. $ARGV[0]) {
$sth->execute;
my @data = $sth->fetchrow;
$sth->finish;
=== End of select_test.pl
On my Linux box at home, 'time java SelectTest 1' gives me:
1.120u 0.140s 0:01.35 93.3% 0+0k 0+0io 4334pf+0w
and 'time java SelectTest 1000' gives me:
2.290u 0.370s 0:03.87 68.7% 0+0k 0+0io 4334pf+0w
So the OCI driver can execute about 400 execute/next's per second.
In comparison, 'time select_test.pl 1' gives:
0.550u 0.070s 0:00.74 83.7% 0+0k 0+0io 1638pf+0w
and 'time select_test.pl 1000' gives:
1.210u 0.220s 0:02.41 59.3% 0+0k 0+0io 1638pf+0w
So the Perl/DBD-Oracle runs at about 600 execute/fetch's per second.
The results are similar on our Sun 3500.
I'm at a loss to explain this. I'm explicitly setting the prefetch, using the Oracle defineColumnType extension, and preparing the statement outside the loop. Amazingly, the Perl program beats it with practically no optimization.
This is actually a best-case scenario for the JDBC driver. In the worst-case scenario, the same program running against a table with 50 columns runs about 6 times faster with Perl/DBD than with Java/JDBC. (Large records seem to be a particularly bad case for the JDBC driver).
These tests are actually highly important for our application, which frequently issues single-row selects.
I'm desperate to increase the JDBC performance. Every other test I've run shows Java running several times faster than Perl. Once I can get this ironed out, we should be all set.
For the record, the tests were run using JDK1.2 against classes111.zip. The results were similar using classes12.zip.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm hoping there's something obvious I'm missing that will speed up my code to acceptable levels.

ddankwerth,
Actually, we're using persistent connections with mod_perl, so I'm not anticipating a big speed boost there.
Do you have a code example where the thin driver outperforms the OCI driver? In my tests, it's at least 30% slower.
One thing I noticed after posting my question was that the total idle time for the JDBC code was about 50% higher than for the Perl code. This makes me think that the JDBC driver is making more calls to the DBMS than necessary.
Is Oracle actively tuning the JDBC drivers? I get the impression from the classes12 README that the development is focusing more on keeping up with the JDBC standard than with performance.
Does anyone know if there any plans to improve performance?

Some clues or just forget it!
Thanx, Alejandro

I'm also a PostgreSQL man, so it should be easy to communicate.
I can reproduce your problem with DBD::Oracle, and I guess that your problem is that the database is on a different machine, while "make test" assumes that it is on the same machine (like when you unset PGHOST in PostgreSQL).
The error message means that for a local database Oracle expects a local "database name" in the environment variable ORACLE_SID, but the environment variable is unset (roughly equivalent to PGDATABASE).
When you encounter connection problems with DBI, it's always a good idea to try to connect in the same way with the command line utility "sqlplus".
In your case, I would say that the equivalent connection attempt with sqlplus would be:
sqlplus scott/tiger
which will probably give you the same error message, right?
With your tnsnames.ora, I would recommend that you set the environment variable TWO_TASK to "caw".
Then Oracle will look for the entry "caw" in tnsnames.ora (this is roughly comparable to setting PGSERVICE in PostgreSQL, where PGSYSCONFDIR corresponds to Oracle TNS_ADMIN).
If your test login is not "scott/tiger", set ORACLE_USERID as described in README.login.txt.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Using perl with Oracle DB

Hi,
I have perl scripts to import csv data to an existing 9.2 oracle database 32bit. It is using DBI to connect. I am moving the database in question to 10gR2 windows X64. I want the scripts to follow and run on the new server.
I know there is an install of perl in the oracle home. Is it intended to be used by oracle internally only?
So my question is: should I install perl separately or could I use the one shipped with oracle?
Best wishes!

Of course.
You are right if more modules are required, then adding them to the oracle perl would have potentially bad effects.
The only thing I need really is to read files, call sqlloader, connect to the DB and run some stored procedures... I will be ok then. I already tested connectivity and it all looks fine.
Thank you very much for the input!

Query regarding perl in Oracle Home

Hi All,
One of my customers has asked the following question
There is Perl 5.6.1 present in OracleHome but I can't use it like Perl is meant to be, because there is no makemaker ... so I can't use modules provided by CPAN. I want to know if it is possible to use this Perl? What is the Oracle-Recommended-Way to use CPAN-Modules? That is I want to know how can I compile any perl module from CPAN with the perl present in Oracle Home
Thanks and Regards,
Geeta

Not sure exactly what you mean,
in unix box,
type
which perlwill show you which perl program system will choose to run without absolute path
of course if there's any perl under current path setting
If you want to run perl version under ORACLE_HOME as default, put this line first in your path
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/perl/bin
in C shell it's like this

i am using unix env and i need per ver 3 inorder to upgrade oracle from 9.2.0.4 to 9.2.0.7. some how it's reading per ver 2 from my unix env. question is there also anywhere else in oracle home that i need to look in other word how i can tell that oracle looking the perl in the oracle home or out side the home.
Thanks

Not sure exactly what you mean,
in unix box,
type
which perlwill show you which perl program system will choose to run without absolute path
of course if there's any perl under current path setting
If you want to run perl version under ORACLE_HOME as default, put this line first in your path
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/perl/bin
in C shell it's like this
set path = ($ORACLE_HOME/bin /usr/sbin $path)

Instant Client 11.1.0.1, Perl DBD::Oracle, and Kerberos

Hi all,
I'm trying to get an Instant Client working so I can connect to remote server and sync the data up with our own. It works, but there is a problem. Basically, if I connect via the Perl DBI and DBD::Oracle, Kerberos authentication bits get screwed up for the rest of the process. If I connect to the remote server, and then a local non-Oracle service via Kerberos, the latter fails. Note that, if done separately, they work fine.
Looking into it, it appears that it wants to open the file /krb5/krb.conf, which doesn't exist for me (/etc/krb5.conf is the Kerberos config file). I found something online (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96573/asoappb.htm) that suggests that I should change some KERBEROS* parameters in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora. Either I'd like to have it try to open the right Kerberos config, or just ignore Kerberos altogether. Unfortunately, I have an old sqlnet.ora, that appears to have been generated by some external interface, and I'd like to maybe do this again, the "right way".
[koczan@ator] ~ $ cat /s/oracle-csl/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: /local.gazoo/oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = cs.wisc.edu
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
The other thing I'm wondering is why it's even looking at Kerberos. Doing ldd on the sqlplus binary, the libraries, and the DBD::Oracle shared library showed no reference to Kerberos.

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x004cf000)
So, is there something I'm missing? What would be a good way to make everything happy? I tried looking online for this, and asking the DBD::Oracle people, and I couldn't find anything.
I'm running Instant Client 11.1.0.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, Perl 5.8.8, DBI 1.602, DBD::Oracle 1.19, Kerberos 1.6.2.
Thanks. I know this was a lot of info and questions for this, but any help would be appreciated.

There's no SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES set in my sqlnet.ora. I assume it's using some sort of default or trying everything, is there a way to tell what it's doing even though nothing is set?
All I need to do is connect via password-based authentication to a remote server. What should SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES be set to for that?
I couldn't find any clear resource documenting SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES, if you could point me to one that would be excellent.
Thanks.
P.S. Here's the entirety of my sqlnet.ora file.

Perl and Oracle Client Install

Hi,
When installing the Oracle Client on user machines, does it not install Perl as well? Something like $ORACLE_HOME/perl/.....
I am installing the client and I am not seeing this. Or this only for the non-client versions?
By the way I am installing Oracle 10gR1 (10.2.0.1)

Ya I did the client install as well and noticed that I had it as well, but for the client install on 10gR1 it is not. This is weird. Basically I am trying to apply a patch using OPatch and it keeps saying that Perl is needed. When I downloaded the Perl manually, it still said that it could not reconize Perl. Any thoughts?

Oracles perl samples? where are they?

otn has a bunch of html pages w/ instructions for running perl->dbi->oracle samples (hotel res. , guest book, hello, ect).
these pages have links to get mod_perl, dbi, dbd , but nowhere can
I find the perl sample code itself. help please, oracle. Miked

Hi,
You can find the perl samples developed by otn at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/ias/content.html
