Re: Text file from store procedure

If you are really brave, you can write stored procedures in the favorite language of Mr. Cary Milsap and the list owner, the only language that will take a syntax like this:

@list= reverse sort { -M $a <=> -M $b } @list;

The URL can be found at: http://www.smashing.org/extproc_perl

Not only it is possible to write to files, you can even format it into multi-line fields, you can have page headers, repeating after every $= lines. You can do marvelous things with strings and a whole lot of other things. Standard for accessing the database is described in the O'Reilly "cheetah" book named "Programming the Perl DBI" writen by Crocodile Descartes and Tim Bunce (ISBN:1-56592-699-4)
