Adding those quotations broke about all my applications.
Some of mine too. But quotes are technically required whenever a schema name and table name are combined. Without them you can't reliably separate the names as they may (in theory) contain '.'. What I probably should have done is "redefine tables() to default to tables accessible from current schema without further qualification" _and_ made tables not use quote_identifier in that case if the name matched /^\w+$/. But let's not get into that now. They'll be plenty of time down the road and I'll be open to suggestions as we go. > > Always taint check the $sql for do() and prepare() > > if perl is in taint mode (can't be disabled). > > These two lines belong together, right? Yes. But like most items in the ToDo it needs more thought. It's more a statement of direction than a specification at this stage. Tim.
