Support for ParamValues in dbd::mysql and a note on DBD::ODBC
It would appear dbd::mysql 3.0002_4 does not support ParamValues.
As far as I can see it is also not in _5. I am far from an XS expert but the
following addition to dbd_st_FETCH_attrib in dbdimp.c seems to work. If anyone
cares to comment on whether there is a better or proper way to do this I'd be
happy to learn from them. Unfortunately it is not easy for me to supply a patch
as my dbd::mysql is 3.0002_4 and is massively patched and hacked already (my
addition between + and - MJE.
case 'P':
if (strEQ(key, PRECISION))
retsv= ST_FETCH_AV(AV_ATTRIB_PRECISION);
/* +MJE */
if (strEQ(key, ParamValues)) {
HV *pvhv = newHV();
if (DBIc_NUM_PARAMS(imp_sth)) {
unsigned int n;
SV *sv;
char key[100];
I32 keylen;
for (n = 0; n DBIc_NUM_PARAMS(imp_sth); n++) {
# Not sure this is the correct way to create the param keys
keylen = sprintf(key, %d, n);
hv_store(pvhv, key, keylen, newSVsv(imp_sth-params[n].value),
0);
}
}
retsv = newRV_noinc((SV*)pvhv);
}
/* -MJE */
break;
Incidentally, DBD::ODBC does support ParamValues BUT they cannot be retrieved
after execute fails. I believe this is because dbd_st_FETCH_attrib attempts to
do a dbd_describe (for most attribs) before returning ParamValues and that fails
if execute has failed. I am not sure if it needs to call dbd_describe for
ParamValues and I've asked Jeff to comment.

DB2.pm for Perl 5.8 needed
Hi, I am looking to install the Win32 DB2.pm library for perl 5.8.7 or 5.8.8. The previously recommended site of http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/ http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/ no longer seems to contain the necessary ppds. Can someone recommend another location? thanks andrei

Since you are in windows you might want to just to use Activeperl and ppm to get the latest version which I think is ' DBD-DB2 [0.76] DBD-DB2' - Original Message - From: Bergners, Andrei [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dbi-users@perl.org Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 10:01 AM Subject: DB2.pm for Perl 5.8 needed Hi, I am looking to install the Win32 DB2.pm library for perl 5.8.7 or 5.8.8.

Re: DB2.pm for Perl 5.8 needed
This is a nice thought, but the latest release of DBD::DB2 is actually 0.78 (released a long time ago), but ActiveState wasn't interested in updating their version of the package because DBD::DB2 prereqs the DB2 Runtime Client. Apparently ActiveState has made it a policy to avoid offering packages which are not entirely self-contained (because they don't want to be inundated with support calls complaining about a problem due to a missing third-party library). So until IBM can figure out how to avoid the dependency on the DB2 Runtime Client, ActiveState is apparently going to continue to offer a decrepit version of DBD::DB2. The last time esoftmatic.com disappeared from the Web was due to some DNS problems; more than likely this problem will clear up in a day or two.

$sth-execute(@$bindVars) is outputting an error
Hi,
I am trying to pass an array reference to $sth-execute and I am
getting the following error:
DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: called with 38 bind variables when 0 are
needed at /usr/local/apps/common/devl/bin/GlobalRoutines.pm line 42.
The code I am using is as follows:
sub sub_executeBind($$$) {
local ($dbh, $sth, $bindVar) = @_;
$sth-execute(@$bindVar) || die $dbh::errstr;
return($sth);
}
Will someone please help me understand this error message?
Thanks in advance.

Re: ODBC w/ MS SQL
You need an ODBC manager with the freetds driver. I suggest unixODBC. One issue you may run into is that when a query fails to prepare, you may only receive a prepare failed... message without additional information as to why it failed. Also, I've had problems with place holders not working. If you're bulk loading or extracting take a look at freebcp. We've had great success extracting data (6-7 million record tables), but have had a problem with loading. Stops loading between 5-6 million records. We divide our load files into files of million rows each to keep things more manageable.
