in reply to Re^3: SQL through perl is giving error
in thread SQL through perl is giving error

Suppose there is a table "mytable" with column col_pk as follows.
col_pk ---- 1 2 3
And update and insert sql as follows.
update mytable set col_pk=4 where col_pk=3; insert into mytable (col_pk) values (3);
If you run the sql above only once, it never yields error. But if you run the sql twice, it will yield error because there is already 4 in mytable.

I'm not sure. Just guessing.
