I'm having some trouble passing some information from my Perl script to
the DBI query interface.
A short version of my query would look like:
my $sth = $dbh -> prepare (q{
SELECT message.name, contents, user.name, message.id
FROM message, user
WHERE folder='N' and parentid=?
GROUP BY message.id
ORDER BY time ?
}) || die $dbh->errstr;
Then, I'm calling the query:
$sth->execute($parent, "DESC");
The "DESC" is being ignored. I can hard-code it into the query and it
works fine. The closest I've been able to achive in having the query
recognize the second ? is to have it crash with an error reporing that
it's there, but doing nothing about it....
go figure.
any help is greatly appreciated.
