# or combine the two together
my $ot = Oracle::DML::Common->new(%cfg);
my $sql= $ot->prepare(%cfg); 
$ot->execute();    # actually create the audit table and trigger

$self->get_dbh('usr/pwd@dblk', 'Oracle');
$self->get_dbh('usr/pwd@dblk:approle/rpwd', 'SQL');

Return: database handler

If application role is provided, it will activate the application role as well.

is_object_exist($dbh,$tn,$tp)

$tn  - table/object name, required.
       schema.table_name is allowed.

Variables used or routines called:

echoMSG    - display messages.

# whether table 'emp' exist
$yesno = $self->is_object_exist($dbh,'emp');
