Doing the redirect can be a bit clunky. If you want to be more precise with how you handle these errors, add this $attr to your connect statement.

my $attr = { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 };
my $dbh = DBI->connect( @{$login}, $attr )
 or die "Can't connect to Oracle database: $DBI::errstr\n";

then when an error occurs it will not print to STDERR. Rather it can be read thru $dbh->errstr.

Programming the Perl DBI covers this in better detail. it is also detail in the DBI manpage I believe.

Thanks Dave for reminding me of error redirection, how stupid of me.

I would be more than happy to get rid of such a signature :)

Thanks

Not a DBI question, but what platform?


Un*x:
perl script.pl > logfile 2>&1

Windows:
perl script.pl > logfile 2>&1

If you want errors to a different logfile, or output to come to the screen
with errors to a logfile,
perl script.pl 2>error_log

HTH,
Dave

p.s. BTW, that's quite a sig you have.

Hi!

I have a DBI program which connects to Sybase database and executes a
procedure, if the procedure execution fails, it automatically throws an
error on my screen, but I want this error to be written to a log file, how
do I write these error messages to a file ?

Thanks much
