in reply to Bind param error

In your prepare statement for $sth1 you have

h.net_due_date as NET_DUE_DATE, #Added for Revision 1.6 h.status as STATUS #Added for Revision 1.6

I know a lot more Perl than SQL but I doubt those are legal SQL comments.

    fwiw, those are legit SQL commands (at least in MySQL):

    mysql> select username as client_name from clients limit 1; +-------------+ | client_name | +-------------+ | stevieb | +-------------+

    Steve

      Really? SQLite disagrees...

      sqlite> select count(*) from show; # illegal comment; 27 Error: unrecognized token: "#"

      I guess I wasn't clear enough: Perl comments aren't valid SQL.

    Rowdog, I thought this was PERL, not SQL. Anyway, using 'as ' with aliases has worked fine in the current version of the code.

      I wasn't questioning the commands, I was questioning the use of Perl comments in SQL.
