You also don't call $sth->finish(). This isn't a problem, until you use prepare_cached().

Why would it be a problem then? He uses fetchall_*.

    It's a good habit to get into, imho. Most times, you can omit the finish(), but sometimes it will bite you in the ass. Adding the finish() call never hurts, so I always do it.

    Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.

      lack of finish is trivial compared to lack of disconnect - also missing. Disconnect will force finish on any open sth (albeit generating warnings). but not disconnecting is really bad
