Greetings!!

I have to agree with swiftone on this... The call to $sth->finish is troublesome. It basically will stop your fetch immediately. According to the perldoc's, finish is rarely used, and then only when you expect the statement to be destroyed or re-executed. By including it in your loop, you are trying to fetch using a destroyed (finished) statement.

I tested your code (against an Oracle DB...) and it works when I remove the $sth->finish call entirely.

• 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.
