Dear Monks,

I'm having difficulty returning two ~~records~~ fields from this select statement. What is the best way of doing it?



foreach (@regions_A_array){

  my $Select_two_records = "
    SELECT G.Region, G.Score FROM Gov_regions_scores_TEMP G, Region_lo
+okup R WHERE R.String = '".$_."' AND RTRIM(R.Place) = RTRIM(G.Region)
  ";
  

  my $sth_m_A = $dbh->prepare($Select_two_records) or die "Couldn't pr
+epare query: ".$dbh->errstr;
  $sth_m_A->execute() or die "Couldn't execute query: ".$sth_m_A->errs
+tr;
  
  my @regions_A;

  while (@regions_A = $sth_m_A->fetchrow_array) {
    print OUTPUT $_;
    print OUTPUT "\n";    
  }
}

Update: My file handle is declared earlier in the program.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
