Hi,

I create a new database in MySQL and connecting it using Perl.But i am getting "unable to connect database" error. If i connect the default database available in the MySQL(default during the installation) then the program working fine. Can any one help me regarding this.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
 use DBI;
 $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:ram','root','root')
 or die "Connection Error: $DBI::errstr\n";
 $sql = "select * from test1";
 $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
 $sth->execute
 or die "SQL Error: $DBI::errstr\n";
 while (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
 print "@row\n";
 }
[download]

error: DBI connect('ram','root',...) failed: Unknown database 'ram' at C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\test.pl line 3 Connection Error: Unknown database 'ram'

Thanks in advance

Ram
