Re: DB -> C++ -> XS/Swig -> DBI -> Perl

I think you'll have to provide more information. What database? What OS? What exactly is the "thing" the C++ method returns? How do you use it later?

There might be a way to create the right DBI object wrapping the connection opened elsewhere, but if there is it will be driver specific.

Enoch was right!

Apologies: Oracle 10, on Solaris 5.10, using ProC/C++ and Sun C++ 5.9. Perl is 5.8. It's a typical Oracle Connection instance which is returned.	[reply]

Have a look at the ora_use_proc_connection option in DBD::Oracle docs. Maybe that can be used to create a DBI object for the connection you get from the C++ method. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]

Hmm, interesting tip, thanks. Definitely worth digging into.	[reply]
