in reply to Error querying DBD::SQLite

Don't feel bad. It's easy to miss. I idly thought about fixing the error message and submitting a patch, but I hate wading through C code :)

    My gods. I feel completely stupid. You'd think that after some 3.5 years of working with DBI nearly every day, I'd have prepare-execute-fetch down pat. *sighs*

    At least I'm not the only one. *grins* Though, I am curious - why did we both miss it and only for DBD::SQLite? Did we think that it was just a toy, so the standard methods weren't necessary? :-)

      why did we both miss it and only for DBD::SQLite?

      I think the answer to that is simple: while this module is a gift from the database gods and I love it, that error message leaves a bit to be desired and is extremely misleading. I suspect that many people have looked at that and thought "wow, there's a bug in the C code" because that sure ain't a Perl error message.
