Hi Folks 1) Under 'synopsis', it says: @data_sources = DBI->data_sources($driver_name, \%attr, $dbh); however that combination of options is not listed under the discussion of data_sources(). Anyway, I tried DBI -> data_sources('mysql') and got an empty list. Sigh. I tried DBI -> data_sources('mysql', {}, $dbh) and got: Undefined subroutine &DBD::mysql::db::SQL_VARCHAR called at C:/Perl/site/lib//DBD/mysql.pm line 337.
2) Under 'data_sources', it says: A $dbh can also be used as the $driver argument. I tried DBI -> data_sources($dbh) and DBI -> data_sources($dbh, {}) and both got: usage: DBI->install_driver($driver [, %attr]) at C:/Perl/site/lib//Local/Application.pm line 951 So, can data_sources be made to work usefully under DBD::mysql? -- Cheers Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 4/01/2004 http://savage.net.au/index.html
