i am trying to write a program in perl and am getting a mysql error from my module. here is the error:
DBI::db=HASH(0x294738)->disconnect invalidates 1 active statement handle (either destroy statement handles or call finish on them before disconnecting) at ./pop.pl line 124, <GEN1> line 2." i think a finish statement is what i need, but i don't know how to exec it properly. here is the code loop that generates this message my $sql_check = $dbh->prepare("select user,password,prefs from users where username='$LNAME'"); # I dont like the below die statement, it should exit gracefully. $sql_check->execute or die "Can't connect to users table : $dbh-errstr"; my ($t_user,$t_password,$t_prefs) = $sql_check->fetchrow_array(); $dbh->disconnect; if($debug_state) { print "S: $t_user,$t_password,$t_prefs\n"; } thanks, shon --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
