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

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.

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.

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?

Cannot install DBD::Oracle perl module with Oracle 11.2.0.3 client

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

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.

Perl DBI and DBD::Oracle

TIA!

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:
Hello World!

and the following in my apache error log:

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

Oas install.sh MIA??? and DBD::Oracle

I've downloaded all 181MB of the WAS, and when I untared it into
the $ORACLE_HOME directory, the install.sh script mentioned in
the README wasn't there....
Curious.
Anyone else had this experience?
BTW, my DBD::Oracle install keeps blowing up during make test
step? What's wierd is I had DBD/DBI all workgin beautifully last
week, but an ill-timed SCSI failure and inadequate backups sent
me past Go without collecting $200....
Oh, I'm running RH5.1 with the new, much discussed glibc
installed. The DB is up and running...
So in summary:
Where's the OAS installer...
What's up with DBD::Oracle....
TIA

Instant Client works (and works well) with DBD::Oracle on Linux. The only
issue I've noticed is one that seems to always be present in DBD::Oracle
(can't insert/update a CLOB via a synonym, need to use the full name).
Instant Client with DBD::Oracle on Solaris can be made to work but it is very,
very dodgy. You have to force it to link with some C++ libaries which the
Oracle libraries reference symbols in (why they do that I don't know).
But perl isn't a C++ application. It will often segfault or hang on program
termination (among other issues). If you want to find the libraries you can
grep for the required symbols through /usr/lib and you should find them.
If you're using DBD::Oracle on Solaris, use a proper Oracle client install.

Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

Hi Gurus
I Need your help Please
I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
FlexVol saplog
/usr/sap/SID
/usr/sap/trans
/sapmnt/SID
/home/SIDadm
/oracle/SID
/oracle/SID/origlogA
/oracle/SID/origlogB
/oracle/SID/oraarch
/oracle/SID/sapreorg
/oracle/SID/sapbackup
/oracle/SID/saparch
FlexVol sapdata
/oracle/SID/sapdata1
/oracle/SID/sapdata2
/oracle/SID/sapdataN
FlexVol mirrlogs
/oracle/SID/mirrlogA
/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
Thanks and appreciate your help

> I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
Where did you read that?
> The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
The usual process is:
- you contact your hardware vendor
- you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
- the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
- the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.
