Hi all,
Under mod_perl, what is the correct, safe protocol for using the handle
attribute mysql_insertid from a persistant handle? Am I correct in
thinking that I need to clean up attributes like {mysql_insertid}if I
want to ensure that they are specific to my current call?
Specifically, could I try to retrieve $dbhandle->{mysql_insertid} after
a failed insert and accidentally end up with an insertid from a previous
call? If so, would the best way to guard against this for each use be:
$dbhandle->{mysql_insertid} = undef;
#Attempt insert here
$inserted_id = $dbhandle->{mysql_insertid};
I went looking and couldn't find anything specifically referencing use
of the mysql_insertid function call in DBD::mysql.with mod_perl in mind.
I can't even find the insertid functionality in DBD::mysql, but maybe
I'm just too tired... Any tangentially related advice would probably
also be appreciated. Thanks!
