Perl DBI - running SQL Script with multiple statements

Question

I have a sql file test.sql used to run SQL (creating an object / update / delete / insert) that might look like

    CREATE TABLE test_dbi1 (
    test_dbi_intr_no    NUMBER(15)
  , test_dbi_name       VARCHAR2(100);

UPDATE mytable 
SET col1=1;

    CREATE TABLE test_dbi2 (
    test_dbi_intr_no    NUMBER(15)
  , test_dbi_name       VARCHAR2(100);

I usually just use SQLPLUS (from Perl) to execute this test.sql with this command: @ Test.sql

Is there a way to do the same using DBI in Perl? So far, I have found that DBI can only execute one statement at a time, and without the ";" in the end.

, . , Oracle prepare (MySQL ). :

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
    "dbi:Oracle:dbname",
    "username",
    "password",
    {
        ChopBlanks       => 1,
        AutoCommit       => 1,
        RaiseError       => 1,

Oracle can run multiple SQL statements in one ready-made form using an anonymous PL / SQL block.

eg,

$dbh->do("
    BEGIN
      UPDATE table_1 SET col_a = col_a -1;
      DELETE FROM table_2 where id in (select id from table_1 where col_a = 0);
    END;
");

DDL (creating or deleting objects) is more difficult, mainly because it is something that you should not do on a one-time basis.

You can add another level of logic to Perl that parses the SQL script, breaks it into statements, and executes it one by one using the technique above

   --sql file
   -- [statement1]
   SQLCODE...

   -- [statement2]
   SQLCODE...

#Gets queries from file.
sub sql_q {
     my ($self) = @_;
     return $self->{sql_q} if $self->{sql_q};
     my $file = $self->{sql_queries_file};

     $self->{sql_q} || do {
         -e $file || croak( 'Queries file ' . $file . ' can not be found.' );
         my $fh = IO::File->new("< $file");
         my @lines;
         ( $fh->binmode and @lines = $fh->getlines and $fh->close ) or croak $!;

         my ($key);
         foreach ( 0 .. @lines - 1 ) {
             next if ( $lines[$_] =~ /^;/ );
             if ( $lines[$_] =~ /^--\s*?\[(\w+)\]/ ) {
                 $key = $1;
             }
             $self->{sql_q}{$key} .= $lines[$_] if $key;
         }
     };
     return $self->{sql_q};
 }
 #then in your script
 #foreach statement something like
 $dbh->prepare($sql_obj->{sql_q}->{statement_name})->execute(@bindvars);
