I've used the col_names attribute and I don't receive any errors for that line. However I do get this error:
Attempt to fetch row from a Non-SELECT statement at /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/DBI_start3.pl line 23.(*the fetchrow_array statement line).I'm researching this now. Question - If an error statement comes up for line 23, is it safe to assume that the lines of code before that are executing OK? Assuming you're not jumping around with subs.
