Passing arrays to oracle from unix
Hi all...
Im looking to pass the contents of a simple file to Oracle so that it can be stored in a database table.
The best way i can think of to avoid overhead is to loop through the contents of the file and store the data in a bash array. then the array can be passed to SQL Plus where Oracle can loop through the array and write the data away.
Is this a good way of doing it? if it is...does anyone have an exmple of how to pass an array from the bash shell to oracle
eg simple file called name.txt that contains the following..
tom
dick
harry
any help on this would be reatly appreciated?
This can be done by looping through lines in the file and for each line open up an oracle connection to write the data away eg but tis is expensive performance wise.
loop through file contents
"insert into table values variable1, variable2 ect| sqlplus -s scott/tiger

dbix::searchbuilder::handle::oracle
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::Oracle(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::Oracle(3pm)
NAME
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::Oracle - An oracle specific Handle object
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a subclass of DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle that compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of Oracle.
METHODS
Connect PARAMHASH: Driver, Database, Host, User, Password
Takes a paramhash and connects to your DBI datasource.
BuildDSN
Customized version of "BuildDSN" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle method.
Takes additional argument SID. Database argument used unless SID provided. Two forms of DSN are generated depending on whether Host
defined or not:
dbi:Oracle:sid=<SID>;host=...[;port=...]
dbi:Oracle:<SID>
Read details in documentation for DBD::Oracle module.
Insert
Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted.
InsertFromSelect
Customization of "InsertFromSelect" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.
Unlike other DBs Oracle needs:
o id generated from sequences for every new record.
o query wrapping in parens.
NOTE that on Oracle there is a limitation on the query. Every column in the result should have unique name or alias, for example the
following query would generate "ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined" error:
SELECT g.id, u.id FROM ...
Solve with aliases:
SELECT g.id AS group_id, u.id AS user_id FROM ...
KnowsBLOBs
Returns 1 if the current database supports inserts of BLOBs automatically. Returns undef if the current database must be informed of BLOBs
for inserts.
BLOBParams FIELD_NAME FIELD_TYPE
Returns a hash ref for the bind_param call to identify BLOB types used by the current database for a particular column type. The current
Oracle implementation only supports ORA_CLOB types(112).
ApplyLimits STATEMENTREF ROWS_PER_PAGE FIRST_ROW
takes an SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return ROWS_PER_PAGE starting with FIRST_ROW;
DistinctQuery STATEMENTREF
takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result set.
BinarySafeBLOBs
Return undef, as Oracle doesn't support binary-safe CLOBS
DatabaseVersion
Returns value of ORA_OCI constant, see "Constants" in DBI.
SimpleDateTimeFunctions
Returns hash reference with specific date time functions of this database for "DateTimeFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.
ConvertTimezoneFunction
Custom implementation of "ConvertTimezoneFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.
Use the following query to get list of timezones:
SELECT tzname FROM v$timezone_names;
Read Oracle's docs about timezone files:
