Re: Fetch data from DB and put in to Table Tk

[Cristoforo]

my @name=$sh2->fetchrow_array;

That only fetches the first row from the database query. I think you are expecting 11 rows, (from your code below).

foreach my $j(1..11)

Yet here you are getting $j for 1 to 11 when your sql query only returns 2 items, (code and name). So, if you examined @name immediately after retrieving the query, there should only be index 0 and 1 for @name.

Update: Boy, was a little wrong about the array however. zentara has the solution.

I think the sql section might be like this and then you would have an array @name with contents like zentara's @name.

my $sh2=$db->prepare("select code,name from level ");
$sh2->execute() or die();
my @name;
while (my $row = $sh2->fetchrow_arrayref) {
    push @name, $row;    
}

Also, likely should index $j from 0 .. 10 instead of 1 .. 11

arrays begin with zero, 0, not 1.

Hi, Thanks for your reply, I changed my code according to you, now my code is running but output is not correct I am getting 'q' for all label in first row of table (TK) and '1' for all label in the second row of the same table (TK). That MySQL table contains data like

Code Name

001 Level1

002 Level2

003 Level3

004 Level4

So I am expecting that first column(code) data of the MySql table should be present in to the first row labels of the Table(Tk) and the same time the second column(Name) data of the MySql table should be present in to the second row labels of the Table(Tk)for your reference i have attached my code also. Please kindly help me.

Please kindly help me.

Please print out what your @name and $row is, as it comes out of the db. You have a simple dereferencing problem, where what comes out of the db is not exactly what you think. Post it so we can see the result and can help dereferencing. Notice, you are using fetchrow_arrayref, so you might want to look at the values of @$row, instead of $row.

Another alternative would be to use fetchrow_array instead.

my @name;
my @name1;

while (my $row = $sh2->fetchrow_arrayref) 
 {
    push @name, $row;    
    push @name1, @$row;

 } 

# look at the difference
print "@name\n";
print "@name1\n";

Yes, I ran it and got the same results as you. I (mistakenly) thought that my $row = $sh2->fetchrow_arrayref provided a fresh instance of $row to push onto the @name array. I confess I'm not really sure what is happening or why. It seems that all entries in the array are the last entry. Perhaps someone else could explain this better.

To get the correct info, I made the change below.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=users.lite","","",
    or die "Can't connect";
    
my $sh2=$dbh->prepare("select code,name from level ");
$sh2->execute() or die();
my @name;

while (my @row = $sh2->fetchrow_array) 
{
    push @name, [@row]; 
} 

$dbh->disconnect or die $!;

for my $i ( 0 .. $#name) {
    print "code: $name[$i][0] name: $name[$i][1]\n";    
}

__END__
