Hi Poj, Here is my script for editing employees which has become too complicated and is not working may be whenever you have time you can put it right if not that's absolutely ok !!!
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use CGI; use DBI; # Make up a pulldown menu of all the employees for reports to field $db_handle = DBI -> connect("DBI:Pg:dbname=northwind;host=localhost", +"postgres", "postgres", {'RaiseError' => 1}); $query = "select \"EmployeeID\" AS repto, \"FirstName\"::text || ' ' | +|\"LastName\"::text as name from \"Employees\""; $db_handle->do("SET search_path to northwind") or die; $qh = $db_handle->prepare($query); $qh->execute; while (@row = $qh->fetchrow) { $hh .= "<option value=$row[0]>$row[1]</option>\n"; } $qry = "select \"EmployeeID\" AS empid, \"FirstName\"::text || ' ' ||\ +"LastName\"::text as name from \"Employees\""; $qq = $db_handle->prepare($qry); $qq->execute; while (@row = $qq->fetchrow) { $tt .= "<option value=$row[0]>$row[1]</option>\n"; } # Send out the header and form print "content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<"HEADER";
