Re: querying tables in the url address?

[Bret Jordan]

Anything after the ? is a URL variable and you can use that in your Perl 
code by referencing the $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}.

A quick hack example (you will obviously want to check to make sure the 
data is what you think it is and does not contain garbage stuff::

$someData = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
$stmt = "SELECT * " .
   "FROM [someTable]" .
   "WHERE ([someField] = $someData)";

What is the general format for querying a database
using hyperlinks?
example:  http://www.site.com/page? (then what?)

I can't seem to find an easy way to do that?
