Hi All,
I'm trying to connect to an oracle DB and extract 3 columns from, I need to extract only 1st 3 characters in each column. I used unpack. But, its not working.. Can someone help.. My code is as below..
#!/usr/bin/perl
#use strict;
use DBI;
my $user = "qwer";
my $passwd = "qwer";
my $server = "asdf";
my $database='rd_db';
my $dbd='Sybase';
my $an_dt_file = "an_dt_file";
# Connect to the database
my $dbh = DBI->connect($server,$user,$passwd,$dbd, {RaiseError => 1,Au
+toCommit => 1 });
# Prepare the SQL query for execution
my $sql = "SELECT $ans_rid, $ans_qcn, $ans_loc FROM ft_int_tbl WHERE $
+ans_rid is not null";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die "Couldn't prepare statement:$DBI:
+:errstr; stopped";
# Execute the query
$sth->execute() or die "Couldn't execute statement: $DBI::errstr; stop
+ped";
#open JKLL, ">$an_dt_file" or die "can't open file $ansb_detail_file f
+or write,\n";
# Fetch each row and print it
while ( my ($ans_rid, $ans_qcn, $ans_loc) = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
my ($ansb_cktid, $ansb_mcn, $ansb_soc) = unpack("A3 A3 A3", $_);
#print JKLL"Field 1: $ansb_cktid Field 2:$ansb_mcn Field 3: $ansb_soc
+\n";
print "Field 1: $ansb_cktid Field 2:$ansb_mcn Field 3: $ansb_soc \n";
}
# Disconnect from the database
$dbh->disconnect();

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
