Has anybody ported this script to ksh93? I made some changes to get it half running but perhaps someone has done a more thorough and complete job who knows the differences between the older and newer Korn shells?
Have you looked at dbcheck.pl from hobbit-perl-cl (on Sourceforge)?
Regards, Buchan
I had tried dbcheck.pl a few years ago and I think it appeared more complicated and required database privileges that I did not have. Perhaps I should revisit the script and see if I have much better luck the second time around.
Thank you Vernon and Robert for sending me some updates on bb-roracle.ksh but unfortunately they are not quite what I am looking for. I should have been more specific. I am looking for an updated bb-roracle.ksh that is compatible with Redhat 5.x and the OSes use of what appears to be ksh93.
bb-roracle.ksh uses typeset and local syntaxes that do not appear to be completely compatible with the newer ksh and their may be more subtle differences that I have not discovered yet. I will try dbcheck.pl again and if that does not suit my needs I will probably google for a ksh88 to ksh93 migration guide.
Thanks all,
