Hey,
The placeholders (?) are safely escaped by the DBI library -- your
query that gets submitted to the server actually looks like:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS CS_ 12569 (
ID_NO MEDIUMINT,
NAME VARCHAR(30),
TYPE CHAR(1)
)
I think it puts the space in, but it might actually be quoting it.
I would do something like:
$dbh->do(sprintf("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS CS_%d (
ID_NO MEDIUMINT,
NAME VARCHAR(30),
TYPE CHAR(1)
)", $T_NO));
out.
