Hello Perl Monks,

When doing Win32::ODBC programming can I use one db connection to do 2 queries on the db.

like 

$db = new Win32::ODBC("MyDSN");
$db->Sql("select * from table");
while($db->FetchData()) {
   my $var = $db->Data("column");
   $db->Sql("update table2 set col2=\'$var\'");
}

I did not try this code because I am working on quite senstive DB and do not have permissions to create test tables. If one of the update goes wrong then I would be in trouble.

regards,
Abhishek
