Oracle Database

[h011ywood]

I'm going to be writing perl scripts to access an Oracle Database. I know perl well, but haven't a clue how an Oracle Database works. I've seen previous threads the last few weeks regarding DBD::Oracle, and DBI modules, but was wondering where some good information lies the Oracle Databse itself. Any helpful links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There's a few good database resources, either here, forums.devshed.com, or whatever google chucks up.

It'd be worthwhile signing up for a few digest mailing lists for a while depending on the vloume and content.

Using DBI you can treat Oracle like any other relational database (mysql, postgresql etc). You only need to dig into Oracle internals if you are going to be doing stuff on the DBA side or using extended oracle functionality.

SELECT * FROM TABLE

Its pretty simple stuff
