I hear what you are saying but what does all that means ;) I am gettting a return for the number of row deleted and a 0E0 when no rows are deleted.
So, what is my best approach for testing when no row are deleted? Will this test be true $n==0 where $n='0E0' the returned value? thanks > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Is the $cnt=dbh->do("delete from mytab") suppose to return the number > rows >> deleted? > >> I'm getting something other than a number or string. > > What are you getting?
