Seeking the wisdom of the Perl Monks in the updation of records using Win32::ODBC (database used - Oracle)
I have the following code: 
    $dsn=$config->{'DSN'};
    $db = new Win32::ODBC("$dsn");
    if (!$db) {
    print "Cannot connect to DSN $dsn\n";
    return 0;
    }
    #@updatequeryarray is the array containing the Update statements
    #for eg.: UPDATE EMPLOYEE SET REMARKS='Test now for Ryan' WHERE EM
+P_NO='295' AND EMP_JOIN_YEAR='200102'
    foreach my $query (@updatequeryarray) {
    $dbgstr.="\n $query";
    $db->Sql($query);

    }

    $db->Close();

Here I have inserted the Update statements into the @updatequeryarray! But on execution the update statement works only the first time in the loop. I don't understand why the update statements does not work when executed thru a loop!!!

So to bypass the problem and to set the things working for the time being, I have changed the code so that each time the for loop is executed, a connection to the database is made and after updation of the single record the connection is closed.

I seek the wisdom of the Perl Monks in this!!!!

Thanks in advance
