Hi All,
I've been given a Perl script that i'm trying to convert into python.
The aim of the script links to MqSQL database, but i'm stuck on one
part
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql)||
die "Could not prepare SQL statement ... maybe invalid?:$!\n$sql
\n";
$sth->execute()||
die "C
Thanks for that Daniel,
I've been able to apply the logic to the rest of the script i'm
converting.
There are only two bits that i don't understand in the Perl script
that i need to convert,
my $sql = shift;
and
my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array;
$$StartDate = $row[0];
$$EndDate = $row[1]
That is a nice piece of code,
I cracked the idea of the shift; problem, my final problem is still
how to convert
my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array;
$$StartDate = $row[0];
$$EndDate = $row[1];
$sth->finish()
into python code as i'm not sure what $$ means
