Hello,
I have the following question:
there are three values: masterid, attribute_id, attribute_value. each masterid, can have multiple attributes. consider the code: 
        my $attr_detail =
        $dbh->prepare("select pa.masterid,pa.pco_attribute_id,pa.pco_v
+alue
        from attributes_short pa, pageids p, prodpg pg
        where p.page_id=pg.page_id
        and pg.masterid=pa.masterid;");
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                
        my (%details, $m_id, $attr_id);
        $attr_detail->execute();
        while (my $r = $attr_detail->fetchrow_hashref())
        {
                $m_id = $r->{'masterid'};
                $attr_id = $r->{'pco_attribute_id'};
        #       $details{$m_id}{pco_attribute_id} = $r->{'pco_attribut
+e_id'};
                $details{$m_id,$attr_id}{pco_value} = $r->{'pco_value'
+};
        }
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                
open (DETAILS,">>attr_detail.tsv");
foreach $m_id (keys %details)
{
        print DETAILS "$m_id\t$attr_id\t$details{$m_id,$attr_id}\n";
}
close DETAILS;
