I've tried to find solution of my problem on other pg mailing lists but without bigger effect.
I have a table A in PG. There is also table A in Oracle. I want to import specific row from oracle to pg, so i create plperlu function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION import.ora_a_row(a_id numeric) RETURNS dok_za AS $BODY$
In IPL: create_connection; select all columns on oracle from table a where id = a_id; returning tuple;
$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plperlu' VOLATILE;
then i can use such function in pl/pgsql; .... DECLARE: var A%ROWTYPE; BEGIN; ... select * into var from import.ora_a_row(100); END;...
Like you see it's very, very convenient.
And it works, but only when I make "select * from import.ora_a_row(100);" from psql on postgresql server(local client). When I try to make that select in pgadmin or from remote machine I have tns error:
TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach) at line 20
I've tried with different postgresql versions and different perls, and different DBI Oracle packages, so i think pg or perl versions are not causes(Of course environment variables are propably set etc.). Oracle Base directory is about 1.6 gigabyte so I think it's full client(not instant).
When I used PGADMIN 1.6 on postgresql server and left host editline blank(specifying only a pgport) it worked too. But when I've written "localhost" as host it didn't work (the same with connecting "psql -h localhost -U user database" ).
Anybody ancounter this kind of problem or maybe it's a bug in plperlu?
