Maybe I should ask this question on a database list, but it's related to
DBI, so I'm asking here also:
I have a field in a record in the MySQL database that contains a number.
I increase it by one with $dbh->do("update table set myfield = myfield +
1 where mykey = 10");
I was wondering whether there's a way to find out the value of myfield
right after the update.
Running a "select myfield" right after the update is not a good enough
solution to my problem, since this is a web-based application, and
therefore it's possible that myfield might increase again between the
time of the first update and the select.
Do you know of any solution to this problem?
