Hello Monks, first at all, great job you are doing here ! And here is my problem/question: We are creating a little mysqlserver for our tables. Now I have to write a module to get information into the table. I have already done an insert, but I also need an update. The problem is I don't know the colums sometimes. For example sometimes I have 2 columns, then 3........ Here is my example module (the table is column tab1, column tab2, the data is an 1000 rows csv file 6666666:Y) 

# 1. INSERT INTO TABLE
# 2. SELECT FROM TABLE


sub insert_tab
{
    $db        = @_[0];
    $table      = @_[1];
    @TAB        = split (/ /,@_[2]);
    @VALUES     = split (/ /,@_[3]);
    @VAL         = ();
    
    foreach $i (@VALUES)
    {
        push (@VAL,"\'".$i."\'");    
    }

    $fieldlist     = join (",", @TAB); 
    $fieldvalues    = join (",", @VAL);

    $con            = "DBI:mysql:$db";
    $user           = "root";
    $passwort       = "pass";
    
    $dbh = DBI->connect("$con","$user","$passwort") || die "DB connect
+ion not made: $DBI_errstr";

    $sql = qq{ insert into $table ($fieldlist) values ($fieldvalues) o
+n duplicate key update  };
    #$sql = qq{ insert into $table ($fieldlist) values ($fieldvalues) 
+};

    $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
    $sth->execute();
    $sth->finish();
    $dbh->disconnect();
}
return 1;
