Re: Quoting problem in DBI:ODBC

[Grygonos]

please disregard this... I had always quoted my own literals... never realized that i should just
$dbh->quote($record[0]);
and so on.. sorry.

Another option is to use placeholders, which is even cleaner than using $dbh->quote(). It isn't the right fit for 100% of your queries and statements, but it is for 99% of them. Check the DBI:: docs for details on how to use it. It would be something like.

eval {
   my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO users (fname, lname, phone) VA
+LUES(?, ?, ?)");
   $sth->execute($fname, $lname, $phone);
   $dbh->commit();
