in reply to Perl DBI - Bind variable when query is inserted as part of db column

"In the simplest case, bind parameters are resolved left-to-right." If the query involves a subquery, it's still the same: "left to right."

Perhaps for this reason, though, it's also possible to find modules on CPAN that let you substitute the parameters symbolically: "where column1={col1} and..." They use the symbols to correctly build the parameter-list in proper order and then replace the symbols {col1} by the "?" that is required by SQL.

    So, you actually know of at least one such module? And you're too much of an expert programmer to link it, or even name it? Wow. Thanks.
