in reply to Database access problem

It doesn't do anything because you aren't executing the SQL statement. You prepare it, but you don't execute it. DBI has an "execute" method that needs to be called in order to run SQL against a database.

$sth_Drop_quick_fix->execute or die $sth_Drop_quick_fix->errstr;
