Re: Can i execute two queries connecting to same DB at a time.

How would we know without seeing your code?

My guess is that Connection is busy with result means that you still have a statement handle open and did not ->finish() it before trying to issue another SQL statement.

Update: Now, actually reading your title, the answer is "no, not with the DBD you're using, it seems".

Right. MS SQL Server can handle only one active connection without sacrificing some chickens. This is a limitation of the communication protocol between the ODBC driver and the MS SQL Server, not a DBI or DBD::ODBC limitation, and it is documented in DBD::ODBC::FAQ. Other RDBMS like Oracle and PostgreSQL can handle multiple active connnections via DBI without any problems, at least with their native DBDs, but they should also support them with DBD::ODBC and a recent ODBC driver.

Below is the my code my ( $data_source, $user_id, $password ) = qw( PHOENIX DBADMIN DBADMIN ); my $conn_string = "driver={SQL Server};Server=$data_source;Database=$database;UID=$user_id;PWD=$password"; my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:$conn_string" ) or die $DBI::errstr; my $sql1 = "SELECT CONTENT_HASH FROM DS_STAGING_CONTENTHASH where STAGING_STATUS_GID!=210"; my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql1 ); $sth->execute; In this i executed only one query (above code works fine). But when i try to execute another query by my $sql2 = "SELECT CASESHARE_PATH FROM DS_CASESHARE"; my $sth2 = $dbh->prepare( $sql2 ); $sth2->execute; This gives error as i mentioned above

What part of Connection is busy with result and my reply:

you still have a statement handle open and did not ->finish() it before trying to issue another SQL statement

is giving you problems?

Your code is opening a second SQL statement before retrieving all results from the first SQL statement. This does not work for your combination of database, OS and DBD.

Please use <code> tags, this is unreadable. And read what I wrote about the protocol issue just five minutes ago.

I have done something similar but I used multithreading. It didn't seem to cause a problem that way.
