Hi swetashah23,

Perhaps try getting a simple example up and running and then take it from there.

This uses the test db that came with my download of MySQL. There is a table called foo with two fields id and name.

Note the use of placeholders that other monks have mentioned.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI();

my $server = 'local';

my %db = (
  local => {
    db => 'test',
    host => 'localhost',
    user => '',
    pwd => '',
  },
);

my $dbh;

$dbh = DBI->connect(
  "DBI:mysql:database=$db{$server}{db};host=$db{$server}{host}",
  $db{$server}{user},
  $db{$server}{pwd},
  {RaiseError => 1}
) or die "couldn't connect";

my @data = <DATA>;
chomp @data;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
  q{
    INSERT INTO foo (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)
  }
) or err_db();

for (@data){
  
  my ($id, $name) = split /,/;
  
  $sth->execute(
    $id,
    $name,
  ) or die "couldn't execute";

}

__DATA__

Give this a go and let us know how you get on.

One more thing - don't panic! :-)
