Hi, I'm trying to maintain a unique key in an Oracle Table while working on the table using DBI. the unique key is just a no. read in from a txt file and incremented for each record - supposedly. In fact I'm getting unique constraint violation. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this code,(the statement handler inserts into the table) cheers, Mark
if (condition){ open (IN,$uniquefile) or die "Cannot Open $uniquefile \n"; $uniquemarker=<IN>; close(IN); $uniquemarker++; $sth1->execute($uniquemarker,$var1,$var2) or die "Can't execute SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n"; } open (OUT,">$uniquefile"); print OUT "$uniquemarker"; $dbh1->disconnect(); exit; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
