monks,

I'm attempting to do a MySQL UPDATE using PERL.

I've got the INSERT working alright ... 

$sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO snp_db (rs,chr_position,band,alleles
+,het,validated,gene,role,relative_pos,aa_change,flanking_seq) VALUES 
+(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?);");

$sth->execute($rs_number,$position,$band,$alleles,$het,$val,$gene,$rol
+e,$pos,$aa);

[download]

but my UPDATE doesn't seem to work ... 

$sth = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE snp_db SET (chr_position,band,alleles,het
+,validated,gene,role,relative_pos,aa_change,flanking_seq) VALUES (?,?
+,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) WHERE rs = $rs_number;");

$sth->execute($position,$band,$alleles,$het,$val,$gene,$role,$pos,$aa)
+;

[download]

Any ideas?

thanks monks,
chris
