Folks,
I wish to do two things using DBI:

1. Update a table:
$update ="update table_A set field_1='Y' where field_2='Y'  and serialnum=?

2. Produce a confirmation report on updates I just made
$confirm ="select name, number from table_A for those rows I just updated"


Questions:
How do I implement this?

Here's what I have 
--------------------------
$update ="update table_A set field_1='Y' where field_2='Y'  and serialnum=?"
$confirm ="select name, number from table_A  where serialnum=?"

 $dbh->connect ......
while (<>) {
chomp; 
 $sth->prepare $update
 $sth->execute ....
 $sth->prepare $confirm  ## is this kosher??
 $sth->execute              ## or do I need to $sth->finish , commit,  in
here after update??
}
---------------------------------------

Thanks,

Frank
