Flux. Always, no exceptions or the solder won't stick 99.9% of the time. It

Bet you meant to say, "Clean to bright copper, then flux', right?

Simple job. Could prrobably be done while averybody here is talking
about!
Drain pipe and stick a bit of soldering on the alleged hole!
If someone has to ask how to solder pipe then get somebody else to do
it!!!!!
If it's too seriously damaged cut pipe (that will help drain it) cut
out half an inch or so and rejoin using a soldered copper coupling.
If not wanting to solder use 'compression' fitting!
