I thought about that as well, but like I said, the size field in the table contains numbers larger than the ones I displayed. To be sure though, I altered the column to use BIGINT and the problem still occured (after I re-ran my program).
Here is the insertion code:
sub writeDB {
# stuff ...
$sth2 = $dbh->prepare(
" insert into files
( client_id, path_id, file, size, ctime, mtime, atime )
values
( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? )
");
foreach my $path (keys %data) {
my $pathInsert = qq`insert into path ( client_id, Path )
values ( ?, ? )`;
$sth3 = $dbh->prepare($pathInsert);
$sth3->execute($client_id, $path);
$sth3->finish();
my $path_id = $sth3->{'mysql_insertid'};
foreach my $file (keys %{$data{$path}}) {
my $size = $data{$path}{$file}{size};
my $ctime = $data{$path}{$file}{ctime};
my $atime = $data{$path}{$file}{atime};
my $mtime = $data{$path}{$file}{mtime};
$sth2->execute( $client_id, $path_id, $file,
$size, $ctime, $atime, $mtime
);
}
}
$sth2->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
}
Update: I did check to see if any of the files were negative before the perl->mysql code and they were at the time stat was performed (
stat($_)).
