Re: Skip problematic lines while populating database

[dave_the_m]

You haven't given any indication of what sort of errors you're getting. Are these genuinely bad lines in the input data, or is it merely that by not using Text:CSV and placeholders, your code isn't correctly handling and quoting data fields and thus converting good data into bad SQL?

Hi all and thank you for the suggestions. I am not so experienced with Perl + DBs, so I need to look a bit more in what you suggest me to do.
The errors I am referring to are SQL insert error, due to bad input, e.g. a string is being inserted into a field that only accepts dates. So then what I get is an error and the code stops to execute, whereas I would like to just throw away this line to a log file and continue with as many lines are good to be inserted.
