Hi there!
I've been trying to use DBI with DBD::SQLite to handle some databases in a program I'm writing. I have created a little 'setup script' that creates appropriate tables and inserts some initial entries.
The tables are created with no problems. When performing simple INSERTs, no errors are raised, but dumping the results of a simple "SELECT * FROM table_name" gives nothing, actually stopping the program (That's how it seems).

For example, let's say I'm doing this (Using an example from CPAN):

my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header, $q->start_html(-title=>'Test');
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbfile","","", { RaiseError
+ => 1 });
for my $sql( split /;\n+/,"
    CREATE TABLE user ( user_name TEXT, phone TEXT );
    INSERT INTO user VALUES ('Fred Bloggs','233-7777');
    INSERT INTO user VALUES ('Sanjay Patel','777-3333');
    INSERT INTO user VALUES ('Junk','xxx-xxxx');
    DELETE FROM user WHERE user_name = 'Junk';
    UPDATE user SET phone = '999-4444' WHERE user_name = 'Sanjay Patel
+';
    SELECT * FROM user
"){
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
    $sth->execute;
    $sth->dump_results() if $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS};
}
$dbh->disconnect;
print $q->end_html;

The output here will utterly be nothing. The only thing that will be printed is the output from $q->start_html. No output is given from $q->end_html.
Executing this script again will die complainning that the 'user' table already exists.

Any thoughts?
Ido.
