perlquestion hok_si_la Greetings Monks,<br><br> I use use DBI to execute my MS SQL server statements. I recently read <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/DBI.pm#Database_Handle_Methods">Here</a> that the method prepare_cached stores the statement handle in a hash associated with $dbh. What is the scope of that hash? Is it useless to use prepare_cached when a statement handle is not executed more than once within a given subroutine?<br><br> Thanks for your help<br> hok_si_la
