Question How to connect ORACLE using PERL
Hi Friends,

I am having Perl 5 and Oracle 9i. I just wanna to connect Oracle DB & to perform some select query statement.

Could anyone pls let me know.

I've tried below command which i found in some website, But it throws some error.Smilie

Executed:
perl -e 'use DBI; print $DBI::VERSION,"\n";'

Output
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/perl5/site_perl /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/perl5/vendor_perl .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

and I am not familiar with Perl. When i search for help on Google, I've found some reply like, DBI should be installed. Is this so. or are there any other way instead of using DBI.

Thanks in Advance, Smilie
Vijay,

Vijay,
Well then, you should have a quick look at this Oracle FAQ: DBI DBD::Oracle and OraPerl FAQ and this The CPAN Search Site - search.cpan.org
its easy as abc Smilie
