Perl examples for accessing CLSD
There are several ways to use Perl to get to data stored in CLSD. You can use:
- the Perl DBI and DBD:DB2 modules,
- a Web Services call of
the JAX-RPC variety using the Perl SOAP::Lite module,
- a Web Services call, of the Web Services
Resource Framework (WSRF) variety and the Perl WSRF::Lite module,
- the Perl LWP or LWP::Simple modules to access one of the demonstration Web form interfaces that allow users to submit SQL queries.
The two Web Services approaches may limit the size of the tables that can be returned. Tables up to 100,000 rows have been successfully downloaded.
If you are planning to get tables larger than 100,000 or so rows, you will wish to use the DBI approach, or one of the LWP modules.
