You can use perl DBI to access Oracle, providing you have DBI and the plperlu
language installed.

Sample code that may help you get started (lookout for typos):

create or replace function connect_ora() returns void as $$
use DBI;
&main;
sub main {
my $query="select 1 from dual";
my $dbh=openDatabase();
if ($dbh==0) { return; }
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $query, {ora_check_sql => 0} ) || elog NOTICE, "Can't
prepare SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
$sth->execute() || elog ERROR, "Cant execute SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
my $array_ref = $sth->fetchall_arrayref();
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect() || elog WARNING, "Disconnection from db failed\n";
RETURN;
}
sub openDatabase {
$dbh =
DBI->connect_cached("dbi:Oracle:host=<host>;sid=<sid>;port=<port>",<ora_username>,<ora_pwd>)
|| elog ERROR, $DBI::errstr;
$dbh->{RowCacheSize} = 100;
return $dbh;
}
$$ language plperlu;

Customize as you see fit. YMMV
