IIRC, using it that way is only safe if you are absolutely certain that all of the rows have been fetched. I'm fairly certain it's not safe if they haven't. With the syntax you have there, it is not apparent that you are even fetching your rows at all. In that case, $sth-rows will not be

Re: SQL statement to find and delete double entries

2003-09-19 Thread Jeffrey . Seger
The only problem with that approach is that it deletes all of the entries and doesn't leave singles behind. I'd probably do it programatically. Grab the results of query 1, store the data in a hash of hashes, then do the delete and re-insert. But I'd love to hear an SQL solution to leaving

To start with, you are trying to insert the size of your file rather than the actual content of it: $stmt = $db-prepare(INSERT INTO hr.documents (documentid , document_name, document) VALUES ('1','john.doc','$bytes')) || die \nPrepare error: $DBI::err $DBI::errstr\n;

That is most definitely what is happening. For exactly that reason I find it to be a useful practice to limit Statement Handles to one query per handle. It's sometimes handy to store them as a hash. You are also preparing statements inside your fetch loop which is re-work that is not

RE: Saving a connection string

I would normally store the connection info in 3 separate variables. For example, assuming you have a module that will return them: my $dsn = $pkg-get_dsn($schema_id); my ($user,$pass) = $pkg-get_connect_info($schema_id); Otherwise just set them explicitly. then: my $dbh = DBI-connect($dsn,

Actually, it's not impossible at all. However, the way you need to do it is to pass the connect string or instance name for the database to your child process and let the child process create its own connection, rather than passing the already created connection to the child. You wind up with

That's a tough one to answer without knowing more about the tables that you are querying against, the query itself and the machines you are hitting. In general, I haven't seen great performance when doing joins via dblinks, so my knee-jerk reaction is to dial direct and save. If you are going

You have 2 choices for how to do this. If you have a database link between the two databases, it's really easy: $dbh-do('insert into table2 select * from table1@dblink_name'); Otherwise you need to loop it something like this: my $sth2 = $dbh2-prepare('select * from table2'); $sth2-execute();
