Hello

I have a loop to create a database record from each line read in from a text file. I wanted to make sure the code will continue with the rest of the inserts if there is an error in one of the inserts but I'm not sure if I have done this right. I've just replaced the code of the outer loop with pseudocode. 

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$sql_database;host=$sql_hos
+t;port=$sql_port", $username, $password,{'RaiseError' => 1});
    
loop {


                
unless ($dbh->do($insertstr, undef, $slice->seq_region_name(), $vf->st
+art $vf->variation_name(),  $vf->allele_string() )) {
    print INSERTLOG "failed to insert", , "\n";

} #end unless
}#end loop

thanks for your help
