NAME

EPrints::Database::Oracle - custom database methods for Oracle DB

User Comments

DESCRIPTION

Oracle database wrapper for Oracle DB version 9+.

User Comments

Synopsis

These settings are the default settings for the free Oracle developer version:

   # Oracle driver settings for database.pl
   $c->{dbdriver} = "Oracle";
   $c->{dbhost} = "localhost";
   $c->{dbsid} = "XE;
   $c->{dbuser} = "HR";
   $c->{dbpass} = "HR";

User Comments

Setting up Oracle

Enable the HR user in Oracle XE.

Set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables. To add these globally edit /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh (for XE edition):

 export ORACLE_HOME="/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server"
 export ORACLE_SID="XE"

(Will need to relog to take effect)

User Comments

Oracle-specific Annoyances

Use the GQLPlus wrapper from http://gqlplus.sourceforge.net/ instead of sqlplus.

Oracle will uppercase any identifiers that aren't quoted and is case sensitive, hence mixing quoted and unquoted identifiers will lead to problems.

Oracle does not support LIMIT().

Oracle does not support AUTO_INCREMENT (MySQL) nor SERIAL (Postgres).

Oracle won't ORDER BY LOBS.

Oracle requires special means to insert values into CLOB/BLOB.

Oracle doesn't support AS when aliasing.

When specifying char column lengths use (n char) to define character semantics. Otherwise oracle uses the nls_length_semantics setting to determine whether you meant bytes or characters.

DBD::Oracle can crash when using PERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV-compiled Perls, see http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/13984.html.

CONSTANTS

See EPrints::Database.

User Comments

INSTANCE VARIABLES

See EPrints::Database.

User Comments

METHODS

User Comments

connect

$db->connect()

Connects to the database. Also sets LongReadLen to 128*1024.

User Comments

prepare_select

$sth = $db->prepare_select( $sql, [ %options ] )

Prepare a SELECT statement $sql and return a handle to it. After preparing a statement use execute() to execute it.

Returns a DBI statement handle.

The LIMIT SQL keyword is not universally supported, to specify this use the limit option.

Options:

   limit - limit the number of rows returned
   offset - return limit number of rows after offset

User Comments

create_archive_tables

$success = $db->create_archive_tables()

Creates all the SQL tables for all datasets.

User Comments

get_server_version

$version = $db->get_server_version

Returns the database server version.

User Comments

get_column_type

$real_type = $db->get_column_type( $name, $type, $not_null, [ $length ] )

Returns a SQL column definition for $name of type $type. If $not_null is true the column will be set to NOT NULL. For column types that require a length use $length.

$type is the SQL type. The types are constants defined by this module, to import them use:

 use EPrints::Database qw( :sql_types );

Supported types (n = requires LENGTH argument):

Character data: SQL_VARCHAR(n), SQL_LONGVARCHAR.

Binary data: SQL_VARBINARY(n), SQL_LONGVARBINARY.

Integer data: SQL_TINYINT, SQL_SMALLINT, SQL_INTEGER,

Floating-point data: SQL_REAL, SQL_DOUBLE.

Time data: SQL_DATE, SQL_TIME.

User Comments

get_tables

@tables = $db->get_tables

Return a list of all the tables in the database.

User Comments

has_sequence

$boolean = $db->has_sequence( $name )

Return true if a sequence of the given $<name> exists in the database.

User Comments

has_column

$boolean = $db->has_column( $table, $column )

Return true if the named database $table has the named $column.

Default method from EPrints::Database this is really slow and this is much faster.

User Comments

has_table

$boolean = $db->has_table( $table )

Returns boolean dependent on whether the named $table exists in the database.

User Comments

counter_current

$n = $db->counter_current( $counter )

Return the value of the previous counter_next on $counter.

Oracle doesn't support getting the current value of a sequence so this method always returns undef.

User Comments

quote_identifier

$id = $db->quote_identifier( @columns )

This method quotes and returns the given database identifier. If more than one name is supplied joins them using the correct database joining character (typically .).

Oracle restricts identifiers to:

  30 chars long
  start with a letter [a-z]
  { [a-z0-9], $, _, # }
  case insensitive
  not a reserved word (unless quoted?)

Identifiers longer than 30 characters will be abbreviated to the first 5 characters of the identifier and 25 characters from an MD5 derived from the identifier. This should make name collisions unlikely.

User Comments

prepare_regexp

$sql = $db->prepare_regexp( $col, $value )

Oracle use the syntax:

REGEXP_LIKE ($col, $value)

For the quoted regexp $value and the quoted column $col.

User Comments

quote_binary

$str = $db->quote_binary( $value )

Oracle requires transforms of binary data to work correctly.

This method should be called on data $value containing null bytes or back-slashes before being passed on quote_value.

User Comments

quote_ordervalue

$str = $db->quote_ordervalue( $field, $value )

Oracle can't order by CLOBS so need special treatment when creating the ordervalues tables. This method fixes up $value to limit it to 1000 characters (4000 bytes) or returns undef if $value is not defined.

User Comments

index_name

$name = $db->index_name( $table, @cols )

Should return the name of the first index that starts with named columns @cols in the named $table. However, this is not supported by Oracle so always returns 1.

User Comments

sql_as

$sql = $db->sql_AS()

Returns the syntactic glue to use when aliasing. Oracle does not require a phrase so just returns a space character.

User Comments

retry_error

$boolean = $db->retry_error()

Returns a boolean for whether the database error is a retry error. Based on whether DBI#err code is 3113 or 3114.

User Comments

type_info

$type_info = $db->type_info( $data_type )

See DBI/type_info. Oracle has is own type information mappings.
