Thank you for your replay guys!!! I think the issue is trying to check if data exists first before inserting, so it seems I have to do one row of data at a time, unless there is a way to test if data row exists then how I was doing it. I am reading all of the suggested links everyone has passed along, This is my first crack on using a DB like this.
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO HLDdata (Data) VALUES (?)");
foreach $txt (@TXT) {
print "$txt\n";
open(IN,"$txt") || warn("cant open $txt");
while(<IN>){
$line = $_;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "select count(*) from HLDdata where Data
+= '$line'");
$sth->execute();
my ($data) = $sth->fetchrow();
print "$data \n";
if ($data ne 0){
print "record exist not adding\n";
&Logit("record exist not adding");
}else{
my ($Data) = $line;
$sth->execute();
$line =~s/\|/\t/g;
# print "$line\n";
print OUT "$line";
}
}

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).
