Thanks for the info.. But i already have a database authenticated. When i open a .sql file, it goes for server check with windows authentication, then the shows the query results.

So do i need to provide any information on server info in .SQL file or perl script?

And as per the ur info and also the error i get, can i run my select query directly. Bcos, i receive the error usr.lck does not exist. Does it mean, i need to create these 3 files first using create query(my table is already there in DB)?

From ur DBM Select script, i don't see the .sql file or Database reference in the script. As my perl & .sql are in same folder, is above script fine to be run with same code u provided
