Dear Monks, I would like to fetch data from a MySQL database. I read perlmonks tutorials and other sources but still I have some problems. I have the following table structure holding words of a splitted text file:
|id   |line_n  |word          |word_position
--------------------------------------------
|1    |1       |Lorem         | 1
|2    |1       |ipsum         | 2
|3    |1       |dolor         | 3
|4    |1       |sit           | 4
|5    |1       |amet,         | 5
|6    |2       |consectetuer  | 1
|7    |2       |adipiscing    | 2
|8    |2       |elit.         | 3
|9    |3       |Phasellus     | 1
|10   |3       |non           | 2
|11   |3       |erat          | 3
|12   |3       |...           | 4
By retrieving data from db I wold like that my output would be the same as follow:
line 1    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
line 2    consectetuer adipiscing elit.
line 3    Phasellus non erat ... 
That is the original layout of my text file. Well, among different fetching methods I don't know exactly which one is the most useful for such a purpose. Moreover I don't know yet how to write a good code; but this is another problem. thanks, Francesco
