I should probably improve the documentation a bit to be more explicit about the need to finish executions properly, either by fetching until no more rows are found, or by using finish().

This might help, but not me ;-(

One thing I always pray when talking about DBI is: Always finish your statements!

And then I didn't do it myself :-(

Perhaps there is room for enhancement somewhere else.
If there had been the connection parameters (server, database) somewhere in the error messages, I would have found the error earlier.

Michael, this is a feature request ;-)
