RE: Connecting to more than one oracle database


You could try specifying the host and sid in the connect string.
That way you only need ORACLE_HOME defined, nothing else.
Something like this:
 
my $dsn = 'dbi:Oracle:host=grill-name;sid=pork-roast;port=1525';

Subject: Connecting to more than one oracle database

I am running Apache 2.0.55 with mod_perl 2.0.1 and Perl 5.8.1 on a Sun Solaris machine. I am using DBI/DBD to connect to an Oracle database.  I am running DBI 1.39 and DBD-Oracle 1.16.
 
In order to connect to an oracle database on a different machine I have a tnsnames.ora file with the appropriate definition. I also have a file startup.pl with the following information:
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/usr/local/ora9i/9.2.0';
$ENV{ORACLE_SID} = 'asdb';
$ENV{TWO_TASK} = 'asdb';
$ENV{TNS_ADMIN} = '/usr/local/ora9i/9.2.0/network/admin/DEV_wiccdb';
In httpd.conf I have the line
PerlRequire "/www/httpd/conf/startup.pl"
 
I am currently connecting to an oracle database on a different machine and everything is working fine.  I would now like to connect to another oracle database on another machine.  My problem is how to define my environment variables.  ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN do not seem to be a problem since I assume they can be the same.  However, how do I define ORACLE_SID and TWO_TASK so that they allow connecting to 2 different databases on 2 different machines?
 
Thanks for any help.
