David,

Thanks for the suggestion.  It seems that $DBI::errstr is indeed empty after 
the INSERT statement that attempt to insert a string into an int column 
(example + output is below).  One solution to this to not use DBI, and instead 
use the LOAD DATA statement via a Perl system statement with output directed to 
a file.  That way I can keep track of errors when data is inserted into the 
database.

EXAMPLE:

my $table='people';
my  $schema=<<EOF;
CREATE TABLE $table (
       name varchar(32) NOT NULL,
       age int NULL
);
EOF

$dbh->do("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $table") or die "Error dropping table $table: 
$DBI::errstr";
$dbh->do($schema) or die "Error initializing table $table: $DBI::errstr";

my $insert=<<EOF;
INSERT INTO $table VALUES ("Bob","abc");
EOF

$dbh->do($insert) or die "Error inserting data into table $table: $DBI::errstr";
print "Successful do operation: $insert";
defined $DBI::errstr ? print "DBI::errstr=$DBI::errstr\n" : print "DBI::errstr 
is not defined\n";
print "Goodbye\n";
exit 0;

OUTPUT:

Successful do operation: INSERT INTO people VALUES ("Bob","abc");
DBI::errstr is not defined
Goodbye

Hello Scott:

I suggest that you check to see if the string $DBI::errstr is empty rather than 
just whether the 'do' function executed correctly.

It seems that the SQL is correctly submitted from the DBI side but the database 
server actually produces an error message. So this is a server side error 
message rather than a client side error message.

regards,

David
