I have been trying to understand this for some time now. The ':' in the strings I was using for time parameters was in fact the problem.

my $stime = '2010-01-01 00:00:00'
my $qstring = qq{select * from mytable where start > $stime
return};

which returned the error "DBD::ODBC does not yet support binding a named parameter more than once". After reading this, I made things work by (abbreviatedj example)...

my $stime = '2010-01-01 00:00:00'
my $qstring = qq{select * from mytable where start > '$stime'
return};

[download]

..which made all work just fine. Apparently those ':' create the problem.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Just goes to show; elephants don't bite, mosquitoes do!
