I have to update database manually alot, so I wrote an app that reads the first line of a csv file and creates the headers/tables for an insert or update statement. The next lines are the data in the file.

I build the statement like so

 if ($checksite eq $none)
  {
    $insertsqlstatement = 'INSERT INTO database.database(';

   $x=0;
   foreach (@dbcolumn)
    {
     $insertsqlstatement = $insertsqlstatement . "@dbcolumn[$x]";
#
     if ($x != $numelements )
      {
       $insertsqlstatement =  $insertsqlstatement . ",";
      }
#
     else
      {
       $insertsqlstatement = $insertsqlstatement . ') VALUES (';
      }
#
   $x=$x+1;
  }
#
   $x=0;
   foreach (@dbcolumn)
    {
     $insertsqlstatement = $insertsqlstatement . '\'' . "@splitarray[$
+x]" . '\'';
     $splitstatement = $splitstatement . '$' .@dbcolumn[$x] ;
#
     if ($x != $numelements)
      {
      $insertsqlstatement = $insertsqlstatement . ',';
      $splitstatement = $splitstatement . ',';
      }
#
     else
      {
       $insertsqlstatement = $insertsqlstatement .')';
      }
    $x=$x+1;
   }
  }

when I print the value of $insertsqlstatement is equal to INSERT INTO database.database(site_id, site_store_type, project, site_city, site_state, site_country, project_begin ) VALUES ('9999','SC OSR','Prebuild','Penfield','NY','US','8/8/2016 ')

I can copy it an it runs just fine in sql

Buy when i write from my sql statement it will not write sqlexec($insertsqlstatement);

But if i manualy set the value of $insertsqlstatement = "INSERT INTO database.database(site_id, site_store_type, project, site_city, site_state, site_country, project_begin ) VALUES ('9999','SC OSR','Prebuild','Penfield','NY','US','8/8/2016 ')";

The sqlexec($insertsqlstatement); executes and updates the database
