I am trying to query a MySQL database through a perl script but in a
way that emulates a command line call like:
echo "select species,access,utr3 from pg,plant where geneID = 12
and length(utr3) < 300 and pg.plantID = plant.plantID\n" | mysql -
uUser -pPass Database_Name. #I know that this works
This approach works just fine in a script I wrote for populating a
database where the call looks like this:
my @pg_insert = (0,",",$symID,",",$plantID,",",$start+1,",",$end
+2,",",$direction,",", "\'$utr3\'\n"); #prepare string values
my $string = "insert into pg values \(@pg_insert\);\n"; #prepare
string.
`echo "$string"| mysql -uUser -pPass Database`; #populate Database.
In a simpler block to get values from Database is where I am running
into a wall:
1:my $query_string = "select species,access,utr3 from pg,plant where
geneID = $geneID and pg.plantID = plant.plantID\n";
2:print "\n $query_string \n";
3:`echo "select * from plant\n" | mysql -uUser -pPass Database`;
(2) Does confirm a properly formated query string but (3) returns
nothing. I have checked that the db is populated and that the query
string works. It is just the call from perl that I can't get right.
Why does the first block work just fine and the second one not?
Please help.
Thanks.
