Groups, I have this snippet of code:
$dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:ODBC:${db_name}", "$user", "$pass") or &DoError("Unable to connect: $DBI::errstr"); #$dbh->debug(2); $fsql = qq!select empl_no_a, user_ln, user_fn, user_mi, aka, longname_a, longname_b, longname_c, useaka from activeempsinfo!; $db_action = $dbh->prepare($fsql); $db_action->execute or &DoError("could not do $fsql - $DBI::errstr "); The resource is set up for odbc as a system dsn it is setting on another drive and I have a batch file running the script that contains the code above which does the following: @echo off net use h: /delete net use h: \\mcdsssql\hrdata Then runs my script. OK - here is the problem: the execute above dies with the following error: panic: dbd_error on bad handle type at update_from_hr.pl line 48. However when I allow the debug statment above - it spews all of its debug infor and the script finishes successfully and updates what it is supposed to. ANY IDEAS?????? - very perplexing. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
