>From perldoc DBIx::Recordset... $set -> do ($statement, $attribs, \%params) Same as DBI. Executes a single SQL statement on the open database.
I implemented the process via regular DBI, since I couldn't figure it out w/ DBIx. I don't even think DBI->do would have done it for me, as I realized that I needed data back. Here's the script - #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; my $LOGS = 2; my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database;host;port=3306", '', ''); my $sth = $dbh->prepare('show master logs'); $sth->execute(); my $row; while ($row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) { push @logs, $row->[0]; } my $log_amt = scalar(@logs); print "$log_amt logs.\n"; if ($log_amt < $LOGS) { print "Not enough logs to purge. Must keep $LOGS logs.\n"; exit; } else { my $purge_to = $log_amt - $LOGS; if (($log_amt - $purge_to) < $LOGS) { print "Not enough logs left after purge. Must keep $LOGS logs.\n"; exit; } print "purging to $logs[$purge_to]\n"; $dbh->do("purge master logs to '$logs[$purge_to]'"); } exit; Someone implement that in DBIx::Recordset? -- sh -----Original Message----- From: Terrence Brannon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 12:23 PM To: Steven Hajducko Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: DBIx::Recordset 'do' syntax?
