You should not be using the "do" method, but the prepare/execute model
instead. Using placeholders can not only be more efficient but allows
quoting to happen properly. Here is a rewrite:
#--Establish the DB connection
#--Assign the DB name
my $dbName = 'checkbook';
my $dbuser = "joe";
my $dbpass = "sixpak";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=$dbName", $dbuser, $dbpass, {AutoCommit=>1,
RaiseError=>1})
or die "Could not connect to the database: $DBI::errstr\n";
my $SQL = "
INSERT INTO transactions (date,description,amount,confirmation,nameid,typeid)
VALUES (? ,? ,? ,? ,? ,? )";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($SQL);
my $count = $sth->execute($datePaid,$description,$amount,
$confirmation,$nameid,$typeid);
print "Insert count: $count\n";
It is hard to tell why your inserts are going wrong without more information, but
the RaiseError should at least help catch some obvious errors.
