Hey Im coding a perl script which needs to get data from a database. But when I get a return value its comes back in an array so i dereference it. Yet it still prints out nothing. I ran the command in sqlplus and it worked there without issue. Im not sure how to solve this

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select XMLRECORD from F_COMPANY") or
            die "Couldnt prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr;

$sth->execute();

# loop through the returned data 
while( my ($row) = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
   print "@$row\n";
}

OUTPUT (literally nothing):

In reply to fetchrow_array returns an empty array by eimaan
