in thread SQL query using elements from array

poj answered your problem above but I thought about this a bit more afterwards and realised there is a warning I should have made. The {ts 'xx'} is really an ODBC SQL escape sequence so it is really intended for your SQL. However, many drivers parse this in parameters (which you are using) as well.

Re^4: SQL query using elements from array

    Thanks guys, It seems to fail if I use it in a union where there are multiple select stmts. Is it because I am using too many bind variables? I am not sure why but here is the sql code that it fails on. All the other code is the same, only sql code is different, The ERROR I wrote on the bottom of the code:
    my @intervals = ( ["{ts'2012-07-01 00:00:00.000'}", "{ts'2012-07-02 00:00:00.000'}","{ts +'2012-07-01 00:00:00.000'}", "{ts'2012-07-02 00:00:00.000'}"], ["{ts'2012-07-02 00:00:00.000'}", "{ts'2012-07-03 00:00:00.000'}","{ts +'2012-07-02 00:00:00.000'}", "{ts'2012-07-03 00:00:00.000'}"]); my $dbh = DBI-> connect('dbi:ODBC:DSN=WCPM-DB1;UID=TEST;PWD=pass') or +die "CONNECT ERROR! :: $DBI::err $DBI::errstr $DBI::state $!\n"; my $sql2 = <<EOSQL; SELECT *, DATEDIFF(n,MIN_TIME,MAX_TIME) AS MINS_DIFF FROM (SELECT Login_ID, MIN(TimeStamp) AS MIN_TIME,MAX(TimeStamp +) AS MAX_TIME FROM (SELECT Login_ID, AuditChrt_TimeStamp AS TimeStamp, Patient_ID FROM (SELECT Login_ID, AuditChrt_TimeStamp, Patient_ID FROM TopsData.dbo.AUDT_AuditChrt WHERE Login_ID IN ('ZZZZZ0004R','ZZZZZ00050','ZZZZ +Z0006J','ZZZZZ0006P','ZZZZZ0007A') AND AuditChrt_TimeStamp > ?

      You can safely use a lot more parameteres than you are using. That error string does not look complete. It should contain an ODBC status code and a set of strings in square brackets showing what is reporting the error. Can we see the full string.

        Yes, I would really appreciate it someone could help me solve this issue, below is the full error:
        DBD::ODBC::st execute faile: [Microsoft}[ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL S +erver Conversion failed when converting data and/or time from charact +er string. (SQL-22007) at test10.pl line 40. DBD::ODBC::st fetchrow_a +rray failed: no select statement currently executing (SQL-HY000) at t +est10.pl line 42.
        It repeats that twice. Thanks again!!!
