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

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?

Can't install perl modul DBD::Oracle with XE

Hello,
I have installed oracle 10.2.0.1 XE and want now install the perl modul DBD::Oracle.
After running
perl Makefile.PL
I get the message:
Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mkfile in your Oracle installation. (I looked in

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".

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.

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.

Problem Building DBD::Oracle

I've tried to build this module using Oracle 10 for solaris 64 bit. The problem is that the perl I have is 32 bit, so it does not like 64 bit shared libraries. I could not find 32 bit libraries in the Oracle distribution. There are some, but not all. To be honest, I have not installed Oracle, I just perused the cpio file I downloaded and extracted files needed to build the module.
I find it odd, that in order to build the module I need to install the whole thing. I only need to access a DB from the host in question, not use the DB on the host.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to build 64 bit perl?

Yuri,
1. you need to have Oracle installed for compilation of DBD::Oracle (Oracle client will be enough) because libraries are built during installation.
2. If you have Oracle SW installed you may find libraries in:
$ORACLE_HOME/lib
and
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 (here are the 32bit libraries if you have 64bit installation)

Fyi.. I've tried to install DBD::Oracle version 1.24 and 1.50 but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I couldn't find any related thread either for this error so I desperately need a solution to the same(if any).
If anyone can help here, would really appreciate it or else, I will have no choice but to install previous version of oracle client.
Thanks

PHP 5.1 compilation pdo-oci problem with InstantClient

Hello,
I have a problem for compiled pdo-oci with InstantClient 10.1.0.3 Macintosh.
I download 4 compressed files and extract into the folder instantclient10_1.
I move the package to /usr/local/oracle/instantclient10_1
./configure --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient10_1/,10.1.0.3
Error:
checking for oci.h... configure: error: I'm too dumb to figure out where the include dir is in your instant client install
Configuration:
Mac OS X 10.4.3
PHP 5.1
Apache 2.0.55

I am using PEAR DB as abstraction layer with oracle and PHP.
I have 2 issues.
1. OCI-Lob->read(), OCI-Lob->load() returns empty string. I read that it is a known bug in PHP (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38612). I guess I will have to upgrade my php.
My question is since I am using PEAR DB, will this still be a problem? Will I need an upgrade anyways.
2. I want to know how to access a clob with PEAR DB. Suppose I have a column name "content" which is clob. How do I access it in PEAR DB?
$row = $result->fetchRow();
echo $row['content'];
OR
$row = $result->fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT);
OR
$row = $result->fetchRow(OCI_RETURN_LOBS);
Thanks in advance.

DBD::Oracle works via perl CLI but not thru Apache

Hi -
I'm beating my head against a wall.
We're trying to transition from our old Solaris machines to newer, virtual Linux machines. We're running CentOS, x86-64.
Oracle Instant Client v11.2
Perl: ActivePerl 5.14.2 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
Apache: Apache/2.2.19 (Unix)
DBI: v1.617
DBD::Oracle v1.30
I downloaded and installed the Oracle Instant Client RPMs - basic, devel, and sqlplus for 64-bit Linux.
I can connect to a database via SQL*Plus just fine.
I can run the following Perl script from the command line just fine.
#!/bin/env perl
BEGIN {
   $ENV{'ORACLE_BASE'} = "/usr/lib/oracle";
   $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = "$ENV{'ORACLE_BASE'}/11.2/client64";
   $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} = "$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'}";
   $ENV{'TNS_ADMIN'} = $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'}
use DBI;
#use DBD::Oracle;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI();
print $q->header();
print $q->start_html("Oracle Test");
print "Hello World!";
print $q->p(`which perl`);
print $q->p("PATH: " . $ENV{'PATH'}) . "\n";
print $q->p("ORACLE_BASE: " . $ENV{'ORACLE_BASE'}) . "\n";
print $q->p("ORACLE_HOME: " . $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'}) . "\n";
print $q->p("LD_LIBRARY_PATH: " . $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'}) . "\n";
print $q->p("TNS_ADMIN: " . $ENV{'TNS_ADMIN'}) . "\n";
print "\n";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:my-oracle-server.com:1521/mydatabase",
   "username", "password") || die $DBI::errstr;
my $sql = "SELECT * FROM cs_empnums";
my $ary_ref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref($sql);
print $q->table({border=>1, cellpadding=>5, cellspacing=>0});
foreach my $row (@{$ary_ref}) {
   print $q->TR($q->td($row)) . "\n";
print $q->end_table();
print $q->end_html();However, when I run it from a browser thru Apache, I get the following output:

But I symlinked the libclntsh.so file via libclntsh.so.10.1, which is enabling my script to run from the command line.
But it's still not working thru Apache.
I confirmed that all the environment variables are set correctly - tho I have to set them explicitly in my Perl script - for some reason it's not picking them up in my envvars file... just the PATH variable.
Any ideas?

You do not need ORACLE_BASE or ORACLE_HOME with instant client.
If DBD::Oracle is looking for libclntsh.so.10.1, that means that the binary you used was built against Oracle 10.
Usually creating a symbolic link to a different library version is a big no-no, but in this very special case it is ok, since event Oracle's documentation states that they are binary compatible.
As to your main problem, I can't guess what causes this.
Have you tried putting the Instant Client path into /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig? Maybe that solves the problem.
If you can "strace" the process, you would see for what file it is looking and where. Maybe that gives you a clue.
Hmmm... I just looked at http://perldoc.perl.org/DynaLoader.html , and I get the idea that it does not consult LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Rather, it uses @dl_library_path which is initialized with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, presumably when the module is loaded.
Now if httpd, as a setuid program, ignores your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, @dl_library_path would not contain your Instant Client directory.
So try either to change @dl_library_path in your Perl script or SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your httpd.conf.
All of this is guesswork since I know too little about Perl or Apache.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

I can't find the header files I need in your Oracle installation.
You probably need to install some more Oracle components.

64bit Oracle server or 32bit?
Did you use 32bit or 64 bit Perl libs?
Check for those.
If you have 64bit Oracle, 32bit libs are under $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 instead of $O_H/lib/
There may be some missing headers under lib32. I can't remember on top of my head but you can copy over some of the header files from lib. Hope this helps.

How can I get CPAN DBD::Oracle to install with XE?

It can't find oracle.mk so it dies. I'm also going to contact the DBD::Oracle module author, but just in case someone on these forums has already solved this, I'm also posting here. The output from the install was:

The oracle.mk (or demo_rdbms.mk) file is part of the Oracle
RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file is part of
the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
system which has one of these Oracle components installed.
(Other *.mk files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.)
In the unlikely event that a suitable *.mk file is installed
somewhere non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m option:
perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk
See README.clients for more information and some alternatives.
at Makefile.PL line 922.
So is there a different *.mk file that can be specified per the above?

As an FYI I tried demo_xe.mk on my Fedora Core 4 box (Perl 5.8.6) and got this.

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 &java 2

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 and Java 2 SDK ( Ver 1.3 Beta)
After the installation of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on a laptop (with WIN 95 OS), When I run Oracle Lite Designer from start menu, I receive following error message :
====================================
Invalid class name 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
usage: java [-options] class
where options include:
-help print out this message
-version print out the build version
-v -verbose turn on verbose mode
-debug enable remote JAVA debugging
-noasyncgc don't allow asynchronous garbage collection
-verbosegc print a message when garbage collection occurs
-noclassgc disable class garbage collection

-noverify do not verify any class
-nojit disable JIT compiler
Please make sure that JDK 1.1.4 (or greater) is installed in your machine and CLASSPATH is set properly. JAVA.EXE must be in the PATH.
====================================
My ORACLE_HOME is c:\program files\ora95_2 and Oracle Lite is installed under the ORACLE_HOME in LITE\DESIGNER directory.
JDK version is 1.1.8 which is greater than 1.1.4 installed in c:\program files\jdk1.1.8, My PATH, and CLASSPATH are set in AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
set CLASSPATH=c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\lib\classes.zip;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\classes\olite36.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\oldes.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\swingall.j ar
PATH=C:\Progra~1\Ora95_2\bin;.;c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\lib;c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\bin;C:\Progra~1\Ora95_2\lite\Designer;C:\WIN95;C:\WIN95\COMMAND;C:\UTIL
And, I can run JAVA.EXE from any directory on command prompt.
With JAVA 2 SDK (ver 1.3 Beta) instead of JDK 1.1.8 I'm getting a different Error message as follows:
=============================
java.lang.NoClassFoundError: 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Please make sure that JDK 1.1.4 (or greater) is installed in your machine and CLASSPATH is set properly. JAVA.EXE must be in the PATH.
==============================
the PATH and CLASSPATH were set accordingly, as with JDK1.1.8, and there was no classes.zip in classpath
also the class file or the jar file looks weird or wrapped in the error message : 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Another interesting thing I noticed is if I run oldes.exe from Installation CD, the Oracle Lite Designer runs fine, and without error, I'm able to modify tables in the database of my laptop also.
Could someone shade some light on what am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks for help in advance .
Regards
Viral

Compiling perl on Solaris x86 in 64bit mode with libperl.so

Hello,
I am trying to compile perl 5.10.0 on solaris 10/x86 in 64bit mode, some basic infos are:
System: SunOS oven 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) which comes with SUNWgcc
To compile in 64bit I add the -m64 to linker and compiler flag.
I also point the Configure to appropriate 64bit library directories.
Static compilation without libperl.so build works like a charm, with libperl.so it compiles as well but execution of perl or miniperl results in:
ld.so.1: miniperl: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_PC32: file /export/home/keeper/build/perl-5.10.0/libperl.so: symbol main: value 0x2800117364c does not fit
Same happens with perl 5.8.8 btw.
I have tried to add / remove -fPIC flag, result is the same.
I am also 100% sure that the correct libperl.so is taken.
Anyone had success in this?

DBD Oracle Problem: Can't load Oracle.so

Hello,
I've successfully installed Oracle (EAP release)
and DBI 1.06, everything works fine so far.
Unfortunately, the DBD Oracle Installation fails
I've tried all version from 0.55 to 0.59.
perl Makefile.PL and make is ok, but "make test"
fails most tests and says,
"Can't load blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
in (path)Dynaloader.PM line 168."
Oracle.so is there and readable.
In Dynaloader.pm before line 168 there's an interesting
comment:
Many dynamic extension loading problems will
appear to come from this section of code: XYZ failed
at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm (...)
But that doesn't help very much.
Any suggestions?

Hello Khusta,
1. This is the Swing forum - definitely not the right place for your question. ( Suggestion )
2. If everything worked fine and you now made two modifications (abstract class and jar file), test if only one modification is responsible for the problem.
3. >And I know that it [the database settings file] is in the jar file.
If your settings are stored in the jar file, you must read it from the jar file. This is a little bit different from reading the settings file at its original location.

Get sql*net to use perl module (DBI and DBD::Oracle)

Hi,
I'm doing a perl script which tests oracle database availability
Now to install it on a Unix computer i need some Oracle files to use the DBI and DBD::Oracle module
I saw in differents forums that i need to install SQL*NET to have those files but i know few things about Oracle products and then i don't know which package i have to download to have it.
If someone have the answer please mail me !!([email protected])
Thanks a lot
Nicolas Minant

Ok, so i got it working as below. putting the details steps for someone to refer (or may myself in future if i forget)
- Install Perl DBI module
- install below 3 rpm for oracle instant client from (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html)
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1
oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.3.0-1
oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.3.0-1
I am using 64 bit linux box, so choose your RPM accordingly.
- set below variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64
also add ORACLE_HOME to your PATH variable
- download DBD::Oracle ver 1.44 from
- untar the module and run below commands in given sequence:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
DONE !!!
Issues I had faced were due to the wrong LD_LIBRARY_PATH. i had set it to "/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64" whereas the correct value is "/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib"
certainly, this was a great learning for a newbie like me. i have spent 8 years as Linux sysadmin and have done a lot of perlscripting bt never had to deal with oracle stuff ever. hence this was a learning for me.
Thanks everyone for your responses. you guys pushed me to right direction. thanks for the Great HELP.
