database call Urgent

prasadanand

Hi I need to query an oracle database.
Basically there is a text box and a submit button and when i click on the button by giving the string
i need the information to be generated into the same window and display as a table format with a small save button at teh end of every row.
When i click on the save button the value in that row has to be updated in the textbox at the top.

Can any one tell me how this is possible with perl....and interwoven together..

Although the details you have given are vague and unclear, I recall using the standard DBI module that comes with perl to access an Oracle database (or pretty much any popular relational database). I don't remember the specific methods used to set it all up, but it's pretty simple stuff. As far as displaying the table data, that sounds like simple CGI. You should do an internet lookup on the perl DBI module. Maybe perlmonks or perl.com will have some good info on how it is used if someone doesn't give you the specifics here. If you don't know how to do the CGI form, you should probably hire a contractor who can.
