# erloci - An Erlang driver for the Oracle Call Interface



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/K2InformaticsGmbH/erloci.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/K2InformaticsGmbH/erloci) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/K2InformaticsGmbH/erloci/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/K2InformaticsGmbH/erloci?branch=master)

### Setup the development system

Create a environment variable OTPROOT pointing to erlang installation directory,

e.g. - in linux (if installed from RPM) its usually /usr/lib/erlang.

Download from [Oracle](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html) the following libraries (for matching os and platfrom for the development system)

  1. instantclient-basic

  2. instantclient-sdk



### Windows

Unzip both into a directory and create the following enviroment variable

E.g. - if your instant client library version is 12.1 and you have unzipped 'instantclient-basic-windows*.zip' to C:\Oracle\instantclient\instantclient_12_1 then the sdk should be at C:\Oracle\instantclient\instantclient_12_1\sdk\

The include headers will be at C:\Oracle\instantclient\instantclient_12_1\sdk\include and static libraries at C:\Oracle\instantclient\instantclient_12_1\sdk\lib\msvc (note the path for VS project configuration later)



### Linux / Mac OS X

Required system libraries

```

libevent

libevent-devel

```

Use rpms (recomended) to install basic and sdk. The default install path is usually (for x86_64 architecture)

For Mac you may use Homebrew (http://brew.sh) as package manager to install it.

```

OCI Headers     : /usr/include/oracle/12.1/client64/

OCI Libraries   : /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/

```



### Create Environment variables

```

INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH     = path to oci libraries

INSTANT_CLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH = path to oci headers

ERL_INTERFACE_DIR           = path to erl_interface or erlang installation

```

Example `.bashrc` snippet:

```sh

...

INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH=$(find /usr/lib/oracle/ -type d -name client64)/lib

INSTANT_CLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH=$(find /usr/include/oracle/ -type d -name client64)

ERL_INTERFACE_DIR=$(find /usr/lib/erlang/lib/ -type d -name erl_interface-*)



export INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH

export INSTANT_CLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH

export ERL_INTERFACE_DIR

...

```



For example:

```

(x64 Fedora)

INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH     = /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/

INSTANT_CLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH = /usr/include/oracle/12.1/client64/

ERL_INTERFACE_DIR           = /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/erl_interface-3.7.15



(x64 Windows 7)

INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH     = C:\Oracle\instantclient\instantclient_12_1\

ERL_INTERFACE_DIR           = C:\Program Files\erlang\erl5.10.4\lib\erl_interface-3.7.15

```



### Ubuntu (14.04.2 LTS 'trusty')

```

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential

sudo alien oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

sudo alien oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

sudo dpkg -i oracle-instantclient12.1-basic_12.1.0.2.0-2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i oracle-instantclient12.1-devel_12.1.0.2.0-2_amd64.deb



~/.profile

export INSTANT_CLIENT_LIB_PATH="/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/"

export INSTANT_CLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/oracle/12.1/client64/"

export ERL_INTERFACE_DIR="/usr/lib/erlang/lib/erl_interface-3.8.2"

```



### Compiling

We assume you have [rebar3](https://www.rebar3.org/) somewhere on your path. Rebar3 will take care of the Erlang and C++ sources.

rebar3 compile

Please check the rebar3 documentation for how to add erloci as a dependency to your project.



**DEPRICATION WARNING** Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2013 are no longer supported please build with Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition) instead



Issue `rebar3 compile` as usual; then don't forget to revert temporarily changed vcxproj files: `git reset --hard`.



__NOTE__: Setting the environment variables for the comand line tools might be needed: ``"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64``



### 3rd party dependencies

#### Threadpool

The threadpool code (threadpool.cpp/h) is developed by Mathias Brossard [email protected]. His threadpool library is hosted at https://github.com/mbrossard/threadpool.

This library is unused (not linked) in a Windows environment. For an easier installation process we include the required threadpool files in the erloci repo. So this is NOT a dependency you have to resolve by yourself.



#### Oracle Call Interface (OCI)

OCI provides a high performance, native 'C' language based interface to the Oracle Database. There is no ODBC layer between your application and the database. Since we don't want to distribute the Oracle Code you MUST download the OCI Packages (basic and devel) from the Oracle Website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html.



#### Compile ERLOCI in Windows command line

Make sure you have `MSbuild.exe` in path. After that `rebar3 compile` will take care the rest. Currently erloci can only be build with VS2008.



### Erlang to/from Oracle datatype mapping (currently)



oracle|erlang

---|---

SQLT_INT|integer()

SQLT_CHR,SQLT_AFC|binary()

SQLT_FLT|float()

SQLT_IBDOUBLE|float()

SQLT_BIN|binary()

SQLT_DAT|binary()

SQLT_TIMESTAMP|binary()

SQLT_TIMESTAMP_LTZ|binary()

SQLT_INTERVAL_YM|binary()

SQLT_INTERVAL_DS|binary()

SQLT_IBFLOAT|float()



### Eunit test

The database user `<>` must have at least the following privileges:



	-- Roles

	GRANT CONNECT TO <>;

	GRANT RESOURCE TO <>;

	ALTER USER <> DEFAULT ROLE ALL;

	-- System Privileges

	GRANT ALTER SESSION TO <>;

	GRANT ALTER SYSTEM TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE DATABASE LINK TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO <>;

	GRANT CREATE VIEW TO <>;

	GRANT DROP ANY DIRECTORY TO <>;

	-- Object Privileges

	GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_STATS TO <>;

	GRANT SELECT ON SYS.GV_$PROCESS TO <>;

	GRANT SELECT ON SYS.GV_$SESSION TO <>;



The Oracle connection information are taken from the file `connect.config` in directory `test`. Please change it to point to your database before executing the steps below:



  1. rebar3 compile

  2. rebar3 eunit



## API Description through examples



### Create a new erloci environment

```

OciPort = erloci:new([{logging, false}, {env, []}]),

```

### Get an OCI Session

```

Tns = <<"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=XE)))">>,

Pswd= <<"XXXXXX">>,

User= <<"User">>,

OciSession = OciPort:get_session(Tns, User, Pswd),

```

### Prepare an OCI Statement

```

SelStmt = OciSession:prep_sql("SELECT lastname, firstname from testtable where personid > :a "),

```

### Bind Variable types

```

SelStmt:bind_vars([{<<":a">>,'SQLT_INT'}]),

```

### Execute the statement with bind values
