in reply to database connection output

hi dreman,

All you need is to create two diferent $dbhs. Example:
my $dbh1=DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:$server1","$user1", "$pass1" ) or di +e DBI::errstr; my $dbh2=DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:$server2","$user2", "$pass2" ) or di +e DBI::errstr; $dbh1->do("SOME SQL ON SERVER 1"); $dbh2->do("SOME SQL ON SERVER 2");
It was not that hard, was it? Wasn't this a ask first, think later question?

    Given that his variables names are $dbh and $sth and so on, it may be that he is coding by copy-and-paste and may not fully understand what a DBI handle is.


    Sanity? Oh, yeah, I've got all kinds of sanity. In fact, I've developed whole new kinds of sanity. You can just call me "Mister Sanity". Why, I've got so much sanity it's driving me crazy.

    Am I missing something here? It looks to me as tho' he _is_ creating two different database handles. The $dbh variable is lexically scoped to the &SQL subroutine so a new one is created each time the subroutine is called.
