in thread SQL Placeholders - clarification

I don't think I have ever found it necessary to dynamically select table names. Field names I do sometimes - usually to put a telephone number in a mobile or landline field depending on the format.

Thanks for drawing my attention to SQL::Abstract. Nice to know it is there but I cannot see me needing to use it anytime soon.

    Indeed, it's a great tool to be aware of and keep the concept of tucked away until you need it, most of the time I don't have call for it, but am grateful it's there when I do :)

      FWIW I use SQL::Abstract::More for almost every SQL statement I build. I'm better at Perl :-P


      The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
