Dear Perl users,

Seeking some advice here.

I need to write a program that fetches between 6,000 and 8,000 items of data from a column in an Oracle 11 DB and SQL Server database 2008 DB.

I am planning on using OLE32 for SQL Server and DBI for the Oracle DB.

I do not want to get one row at a time, that would take forever.

My question, is it possible to send the SELECT results straight into an array in PERL? Note I am trying to avoid going row by row in the Perl program to get the resultset.

In addition, if anyone has any other ideas on a better way to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading!!

Thank You,

AJ
