DBI and DBD::Oracle has been the standard Oracle access module for the Perl for over 10 years.

This tutorial covers the basics of DBD::Oracle programming explaining how; driver, database and statement handles are defined, how to connect to an Oracle DBMS, binding with both simple and complex placeholders, and fetching data.

It also introduces advanced topics such as PL/SLQ Functions and Large Objects (CLOBS and BLOBS).

All concepts are demonstrated using simple code examples that run on a default Oracle 10XE installation.
