There is a version of DBD::mysql (2.9015) that does support placeholders in the server, via CVS (or I can package it and send it to you). I would be glad to give you a version of it to try out, and I think it may deal with your problem better than the current driver (which emulates it) the new driver uses the database to handle placeholders. I have tested this code on numerous SQL statements with placeholders, and it works great.
That's great. But the behavior when placeholders are emulated[1] still could be easily improved with a one-line code change.
Tim,
I'll fix this ;)
Tim.
[1] I'm presuming that the latest version still lets you use emulated placeholders either optionally or when talking to old servers. Is that right?
Yes, if the version of mysql is less than 4.1.3, it doesn't even compile in server-side-prepare. With a server > 4.1.3, one sets 'mysql_server_prepare=1' in the DSN to enable it, and without it, it defaults to old behaviour.
Kind regards,
Patrick
