Hello Monks,

I'm having a problem using DBI:CSV. 

Assuming the existence of a file ./test_db which looks like

f1,f2,f3,f4,f5

Can someone explain to me why the following code works

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:")
    or die "Can't connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
my @fields = qw(one two three four five);

$dbh->do("INSERT INTO test_db VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)",undef,one, two, three, four, five);

$dbh->disconnect;

## End code

Yet the following doesn't

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:")
    or die "Can't connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
my @fields = qw(one two three four five);

my $sql=qq`"INSERT INTO test_db VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)"`  . ",undef," . join( ',' ,@fields);


$dbh->do($sql);

$dbh->disconnect;

## End code

This fails with the error

DBD::CSV::db do failed: Parse error near "INSERT INTO test_db VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)",undef,one,two,three,four,five at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/DBD/File.pm line 164.

Thank you in advance.
