Hi,
I'm new to mSQL and the PERL msql interface and I have
a quick (and perhaps silly) question.
What is the best way to quote my data once it is in an
array? For example, if I have data in an array that I
obtained from a function (example @info = getpwent()),
how can I convert the elements of the array into quoted
strings quickly so I can use them in an INSERT command?
How can I do this even if the table I'm inserting them into
doesn't contain all char() types in all the columns?
Here is a sample script I'm trying to get working, but it
fails because the information in the getpwent() array is
not quoted.
I hope I explained this well enough. If not, could someone
kindly point me to an archive of scripts using the PERL
msql interface?
-- cut here --
#! /usr/bin/perl
#
use Msql;
$dbh = Msql->connect('', "misery") || die("Error: Unable to connect to DB\n");
if (! &table_exists("pwent")) {
$query = <<EOF;
create table pwent (
uname char(8),
passwd char(32),
uid int,
gid int,
quota int,
comment char(32),
gcos char(32),
homedir char(32),
shell char(32)
)
EOF
$sth = $dbh->query($query) || die("Error: Unable to create table");
}
while (@info = getpwent()) {
#
# here is where the problem lies. How do I convert the array @info
# into a string that can be used with $dbh->query()?
#
$data = join(",", @info);
$query = "insert into pwent values ( $data )";
$sth = $dbh->query($query) || die("Error: Unable to insert data\n");
}
sub table_exists {
local($new) = @_;
local($table);
foreach $table ($dbh->ListTables()) {
return 1 if ($table eq $new);
}
return 0;
}
