Re: Selected BLOB field truncated using DBD::mysqlPP

[Laird Shaw]

Thanks for that Ron,

You have confirmed that there is a bug and I picked up some tips from your code - two birds with one stone. :)

I will report the bug as soon as I have had a chance to install DBD::mysql and run your script for myself.

Unfortunately I am having trouble installing this package. I can't install it through the PPM (I'm using version 3.0.1) using either the repository you gave me or a .zip archive which I found somewhere else and which contains a DBD-mysql.ppd file. Both tell me that my target is not valid.

I would give details and ask for advice only this isn't the forum to do it in...

Cheers,

Laird

Hi Laird

Great experiment! Thanx.

Result:
o The mysqlPP driver is corrupt, in - I suspect - more ways than one

o Stop using it.

o Report problem to maintainer via http://rt.cpan.org

o Instead, use straight mysql version, eg via Randy Kobes'

(if it matches your version of Perl, which I believe it does)
