Hi: I
need to write a stored function that will perform a complex task which has
already been handled in OO subfunctions of an external perl module. The
perl module has many subroutines and OO constructs and may use whatever else is
legal to use in perl. (I do have the source code for the perl module
BTW) I need to interact with this per module from the context of a stored
function in my DB. I have v8.3.4 with pl-perl but discovered that I
cannot simple “use” the external perl module or simply stick the named
perl subs inside the module inside the pl-perl. Still, I need to work
with it. More specifically... -
A pl-pgsql function will load up a temporary table with a bunch of records -
I need to run each of these records through a sub in the perl module that loads
an internal data structure in an OO object -
I then call another sub that processes the data structure and returns the
result. -
I purge the temporary table and then stuff it with the returned results. So I
picture a regular ole pl-pgsql that (someonw) interacts with the many perl
module subs. One of those interarcions is to create a perl object (OO
perl). Any
suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks -dave |
