Hello Monks, first you helped my much with my insert/update problem in mysql. Now I have a little question for the select command. I'm doing a select in my module by this command: 

if ($what eq "W")
        {
                $sth = $dbh->prepare( sprintf "select * from %s where 
+%s = %s",$dbh->quote_identifier($table),$dbh->quote_identifier($col),
+$sel);
        .....and so on
        }
}

My csv list is looking like this: 

XZ14B:TEST:TEST:TEST:TEST
XX145:TEST:TEST:TEST:TEST
11111:TEST:TEST:TEST:TEST

[download]
The first column is my primary key (customer article number). I only get the lines back when I'm looking for the article number with only number in it. In this example I get 11111:TEST:TEST:TEST:TEST. The others cause an error Unknown column 'XZ14B' in where clause. But I don't give the article numbers to the column scalar. In the column scalar is really the column name (in this case tab1). Did I make a mistake at the columns values. First column is CHAR(30) or VARCHAR(30) right ?
