Can someone either answer or point me somewhere for the answer?
I am attempting to store text lines from an e-mail message into a MySQL
table through the use of Perl and DBI. Periodically I get the error that
states there was an error in the statement and to check the syntax. I know
it has something to do with how the statement is being interpreted. Here
is the Perl that is in question:
$sql = "INSERT INTO msg_line_hash ";
$sql .= " (line_text, line_hash, total_count) ";
$sql .= "VALUES ";
$sql .= " ('$msgline', '$digest', 1) ";
$sql .= "ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE total_count = total_count + 1";
$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached($sql);
$sth->execute();
I'm preparing the statement as cached based on the fact it will be the
same statement that will execute several times. Therefore, eliminating
having to contact the server on every perpare.
I know it's the $msgline that is causing issues in that if I pack $msgline
into a readable hex text line, it stores without any errors. That would
mean the SQL statement is getting messed up because of some of the
characters within $msgline.
As to $digest, there isn't any issues with that. It is just an SHA hash of
$msgline.
