( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
If the DBI module threw useful exceptions when things went wrong, I would no longer have to sit there checking the return on every little operation to make sure things went ok. I could wrap my entire atomic operation in an eval {}, catch any exceptions I found relevant and re-start the entire operation or provide *useful* input to the user if necessary.
Strangely enough you can do that. It's just a matter of reading through the documentation (1.30 here, 1.19 here).

You can use the RaiseError, PrintError (and on later DBI versions) HandleError database handles to pull this off. If you download Tim Bunce's Advanced Perl DBI slides there is more information.

Hope this helps...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
