Hello all, I hope I can get some insight on this issue here.
Hello, The following code: use warnings; use DBI; $h=DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:cq','root','password',{RaiseError=>0,PrintError=>0}) or die "Connection Failed: $DBI::errstr"; $s=$h->prepare("select * from does_not_exist"); $s->execute or die 'Execute Failed with error ['. $s->errstr . ']'; produces the output: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at testmysql.plline 15. Execute Failed with error [] at testmysql.pl line 5. The environment is: DBD-mysql 4.0.19 MySQL: Server version: 5.5.15 MySQL Community Server (GPL) Perl 5.14.1: This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 1 (v5.14.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread ActivePerl 5.14.1 Build 1401 (64-bit) Windows 7 Professional Sevice Pack 1 64 bit The code produces the expected output when the operating system is Windows XP 32-bit. Other information: Valid SQL works as expected on Windows-7-x64 - it just seems that the error string is not set correctly.
