                   Release of DDL::Oracle, Version 1.03


===========================================================================

CHANGES DDL::Oracle now facilitates use by users without SELECT privileges on V$ views by adding attributes to the 'configure' method. By setting the 'heading' attribute to "0" and supplying values for 'blksize' and 'version' attributes, a non-privileged user will bypass the queries to V$DATABASE, V$PARAMETER and V$VERSION, respectively.

Also fixed bug #404429, identified and fixed by Martin Drautzburg. THANKS, Martin!

DESCRIPTION Designed for Oracle DBA's and users, for Oracle versions 7.3, 8.0 and 8i. Reverse engineers database objects (tables, indexes, users, profiles, tablespaces, roles, constraints, etc.). Generates DDL to *resize* tables and indexes to the provided standard or to a user defined standard. Can reorganize/defragment tablespaces.

SYNOPSIS use DBI;
use DDL::Oracle;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(

                        "dbi:Oracle:dbname",
                        "username",
                        "password",
                        {
                         PrintError => 0,
                         RaiseError => 1
                        }
                      );

# Use default resizing and schema options. # query default DBA_xxx tables (could use USER_xxx for non-DBA types) DDL::Oracle->configure(

                        dbh    => $dbh,
                      );

# Create a list of one or more objects
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(

       "SELECT
               owner
             , name
        FROM
               dba_tables
        WHERE
               tablespace_name = 'MY_TBLSP'    -- your millage may vary
       "

    );
$sth->execute;
my $list = $sth->fetchall_arrayref;

my $obj = DDL::Oracle->new(

                            type  => "table",
                            list  => $list,                          );
       
                   );

my $ddl = $obj->create;      # or $obj->resize;  or $obj->drop;  etc.

print $ddl; # Use STDOUT so user can redirect to desired file.
