my code accesses a db2 database and using the result from this query i want to access a sybase database for the final query... but when i use two different database handles $dbh1 and $dbh2 it returns "cannot prepare for unknown ..." for the second databases .. hw can i access both databases concurrently without having to break connection from first and using the same handle for second... pls help .. this is important for my project .. thank u in advance this is the skeleton of code i want to use
$dbh1->connect("to db2 database");
$dbh2->connect("to sybase database");
$sth=$dbh1->prepare("select * from table");
$sth->execute();
while (@row=$sth->fetchrow())
{
##now using $row 1 as parameter for sybase
query
$sth1=$dbh2->prepare(select * from table_syb
where parameter=$row 1 ;
$sth1->execute();
@result=$sth1->fetchrow();
} this is the error for the 2nd prepare staement
