in thread SQLite handling of errors through common function

One more quick thing is there a way to know DBI handler is valid. Say I do a connect call and it went fine. Now at some place in my code I need to perform the operation but before that I want to validate that #dbh is valid. Can we do that?

Also can we have a way to create an schema which comprises of tables like we do in say MySQL etc. I mean to say we have a schema called master which contains tables like tbl1, tbl2 etc.

    I presume you really mean is the DBI handle I obtained from connect still actively connected to my database. If that is the case see the DBI ping method. As for the second part of your post I've no idea what you are asking. Of course you can create tables in a database.

      Thanks I want to mean the DBI handle which is obtained after connect call.

      For the second point let me try to explain further with an example. Say we want to create an database called EmpRec which will comprises of a set tables e.g. EmpAdd, EmpSal etc. Now when we try to connect first we need to connect to EmpRec database. Below are the set of queries which is fired in MySql

      mysql> CREATE DATABASE EmpRec;

      mysql> USE EmpRec Database changed

      So is something like above is supported in SQLite and if yes how we can do that

        SQLite does not support create database. For different databases you use different files i.e. call connect with a different dbname.
