Why not? I'd rather have more context available than less -- none of us are
Sherlock Holmes, and if we can guess at the solution based on tiny bits of
information, that's as likely to be luck as anything else.

No, I was asking about the literal SQL string that ends up being passed to DBI
(after all variables have been interpolated). Sherrard Burton's post elsewhere
in this thread is an example.

Only if by "empty" you mean that it has no table "subjects" (as opposed to "it
has no rows"). In any case, as Sherrard pointed out, you're ignoring errors
from your database, so all kinds of surprising behaviors may arise.

Are you possibly running with static_source turned on? It sounds like your
webserver is using a cached version of the code or something.
