FWIW, DBD::Pg requires a leading colon, but strongly encourages the use of "$1" placeholders, with "?" being an inefficient but acceptable alternative. I like the leading colon because it visually enforces that you are using named parameters, and is helpful when using :1, :2, etc. I wouldn't object to supporting 'no colons' either, if that's what DBI ends up recommending. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] End Point Corporation PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200805141108 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkgrAk4ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgK7QCfaJQV1+Sue1dxJXrY8g2UuWKl p/cAoOs3Zm5/ZRHVsKTxaWderwHbulZj =j+jV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
