Hello, I have successfully executed SQL statements to a DB2 database from perl 5.8.2 using DBI V1.48 and DBD::DB2 V0.78 on AIX 5.2.2.0. I'm now testing the error handling, and it is not working as I expect. For instance I try to prepare a statement I know will fail but error handling using 'or' or '||' does not catch the error.
my $stmt = 'select count(*) from sysibm.badTblnm '; my $sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt) or die "Prepare Failed\n"; I use this same construct with Oracle DBs and it works fine. I have an alternate solution (checking the length of error string) but I'd like to understand why this is necessary. Any ideas? TIA, Paula
