Any thoughts on using the new DBI feature, specifying maxrows in a fetchall_arrayref?
If I use something like while ( my $array_ref=$sth->fetchall_arrayref(undef, $maxfetch)) { # ... do something } I get an inactive handle and an error on the last time through the loop. Currently I am using: while ( my $array_ref=$sth->fetchall_arrayref(undef, $maxfetch)) { # ... do something last if scalar(@$array_ref) < $maxfetch; } But I figure there must be a neater way (maybe $sth->Active?) Couldn't see anything in the fine POD - any ideas? [BTW: Using this method, I get back 100,000 rows a time from a very large Oracle table, at 6 seconds a fetch - that's quick!] Michael Fox Australia Post is committed to providing our customers with excellent service.
