I am trying to set up an object with the aid of Class::DBI (actually Class::DBI::Sybase) All classes have been set up according to the documentation and I wrote a quick program to verify C::D behavior. The original test program ran retrieve_all() which was successful. However when I run a search() based on the PK an error is returned "sth_to_objects needs a statement handle".

Looking under the hood we find that indeed $sth is not valued, but oddly enough when sth_to_objects() is called (from within C::D itself) $sth is not even passed.

Obviously it must be something that I am doing wrong if there is plenty documentation on how to use the module, but nothing on the strange behavior experience by this humble monk.

Any advice?

Code and results...

The base class...

package user::user;

use base 'Class::DBI::Sybase';

user::user->set_db('Main', 'DBI:Sybase:database=YYYYYY;server=127.0.0.
+1;textsize=4550', 'xxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx');

__PACKAGE__->table('users');
__PACKAGE__->columns(All => 'recnum', 'firstname', 'lastname', 'email'
+);

1;

The test program

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use user::user;
use Data::Dumper;

my @cols = user::user->columns;
print "COLUMNS:\n";
print "$_\n" foreach @cols;
print "\n\nAnd now the table data...\n";
my @obj = user::user->search(recnum =>1);
print "$_\n" foreach @obj;
[download]

The results

COLUMNS:
lastname
firstname
email
recnum


And now the table data...
sth_to_objects needs a statement handle at ./cdbi_tst.pl line 38

Thanks in advance

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).
