in reply to Can't locate object method "row" via package "DBI::st" error !

Could you include the code that initialises $sth. Chances are the cause of the error is to be found there.

    Sure, should have down so from the start
    use DBI; $DSN='.....'; $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN") or die "$DBI::errstr\n"; my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM Test WHERE ServerName = ?') or die "Couldn't Prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr; print "Enter ServerName> "; while ($ServerName = <>) { my @data; chomp $ServerName; $sth->execute($ServerName); # Read the matching records and print out while (@data = $sth->fetchrow_array()) { my $ServerType = $data[1]; my $WeekDays = $data[5]; print "\t$ServerType $ServerName $WeekDays\n"; } if ($sth->row == 0) { print "No servers matched \n\n"; } $sth->finish; print"\n"; print "Enter ServerName> "; } $dbh->disconnect;
    thanks

      There is no method row on the statement handle - there is rows which I think is what you want instead.

      /J\

      Be aware that $sth->rows returns sensible results only when used with row-affecting SQL statements.

      Check the DBI docs:

      Returns the number of rows affected by the last row affecting command, or -1 if the number of rows is not known or not available.

      Generally, you can only rely on a row count after a non-SELECT execute (for some specific operations like UPDATE and DELETE), or after fetching all the rows of a SELECT statement.

      For SELECT statements, it is generally not possible to know how many rows will be returned except by fetching them all. Some drivers will return the number of rows the application has fetched so far, but others may return -1 until all rows have been fetched. So use of the rows method or $DBI::rows with SELECT statements is not recommended.
