I have switched webhosts. I cannot get DBI and DBD working correctly from
a local directory on that host. (Readyhosting does not have installed --
and will not install -- DBI or DBD:ODBC.)
Hmmm, is the server a windows box?
If it is, just build it on your local box and FTP it up.
I have an Access database.
I've been defining field types as varchar(32). This works, although
Access doesn't appear to have a varchar, it has a text. Does DBI do the
translations or does Access understand varchar?
Also (perhaps off topic, but of great concern to me):
I'm getting these
I'm having trouble with date time in Access with DBI/ODBC
I'm trying to do this:
SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE date_time_field 11/30/99
That's giving me all dates, where:
SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE date_time_field 11/30/99
Is giving me none.
I must have done something completely

Hi Jeff,

How do I create an Access (the M$ product) table using DBI?
I normally just open a database handle, open a statement and run the
SQL to create the table. Because Access is file based, I tried creating
a blank some_table.mdb file for the database handle, but this did not
work.

Just installed it last week (ppm) and have been running Access on it

Yes, It is .28, how do I make sure that 1.01 is installed?

I've writen a lot of DBI code (CGI) for *nix/MySQL and never worried
about closing statement handles: $sth-finish(). I assumed that when the
script was done and it would tidy this up.
Is this different on the windows/Access side? Is this something I
should have been doing all along on *nix?
I'm getting a weird error when I try to update a text field (Access,
latest ODBC and DBI) sometimes:
This is a placeholder problem. Changing the script so the affected field
is not a placeholder eliminates the problem. ie: set text_field=? fails
*sometimes* while set text_field='$text_field'
I've had ODBC installed, but I'm getting this error on trying to
create a connection:

I'm not sure if this is a DBI or an Access question. I think it's
both.
In MySQL I can do this:
my $insert_id = $sth-{mysql_insertid};
and retrieve the primary key from the statement handle. Can I do that in
Access?

First time using Access.
I've used my usual insert using placeholders and got an error about a

Anything I should know about Access and DBI?
Also (a little off topic) how do I create an AutoNumber field?
Are there any

It definitely does support place-holders, at least in the versions I've

Yes, it's driver and database specific. It's not ANSI SQL.

Well, subclassing AnyData is alot simpler than you imagine. All you

Virtmaps have two fields delimited by white space.

I think you con't send Array Object(of course any type of object) thru
Querystring.
rather, before sending you can split the array and delimit by any char like
- and send it.
And at the receiving end you have to append all the data that you split.
Does this mean you can use DBI in an ASP
