Product Description

Product Description
Perl is a powerful tool for Oracle database administrators, but too few DBAs realize how helpful Perl can be in managing, monitoring, and tuning Oracle databases. Whether you're responsible for Oracle9i, Oracle8i, or earlier databases, you'll find Perl an invaluable addition to your database administration arsenal. You don't need to be a Perl expert to use the applications and scripts described in "Perl for Oracle DBAs". The book explains what you need to know about Perl, provides ready-to-use scripts developed especially for Oracle DBAs, and suggests many resources for further exploration. The book covers: The Perl language; the Perl/Oracle architecture; the Oracle call interface (OCI); Perl applications for Oracle DBAs; the Perl Database Administration (PDBA) Toolkit; monitoring the Oracle alert log and databases; creating and managing Oracle user accounts; maintaining indexes and extents; extracting DDL and data; and troubleshooting and tuning database problems, and much more. The book also explains how Oracle DBAs and developers can extend the toolkit and solve their own database ad ministration problems using Perl.

From the Publisher
If you've wanted to see what Perl can do for your development and database administration, this book will guide you step-by-step through the process. Perl for Oracle DBAs comes with a toolkit of more than 100 useful scripts that you can use to create databases and users, clone database DDL, maintain user data, compare schemas, monitor database performance, backup data, and perform many other tasks. Written by Oracle DBAs for Oracle DBAs, this book walks you through everything you need to know to put Perl to work for you right away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Applying Perl to real-world problems, 30 Sep 2002
By Mr. Shaun O'Malley (Maidenhead, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Over time, as we develop systems, cut code, administer data bases and perform myriad other
tasks, we tend to build up a 'kit bag' of useful tricks, code snippets and techniques.
This book makes a welcome contribution with its many printed examples and pointers.

Although, as the title suggests, this is aimed primarily at Oracle administrators, there is much here
for those with more than a passing interest in the rich text-processing language that is Perl.
With library modules available for Sysbase and MySQL for example, connections are a simple matter of
appropriate API calls.

Indeed, in the excellent appendices, there is a code example showing simultaneous connections
to both an Oracle and a MySQL database and how to extract and process data between them
using some embedded SQL. The ability yo do this without resorting to dump and re-loads using ASCII
flat files was a small revelation.

With its clear real-world approach and incisive, and often witty, explanations and observations,
this book is not only a boon to data base administrators but can also be very useful
to those who simply want to learn more about the power of Perl.
