Re: My DBI suddenly can't handle placeholders in a LIMIT clause.

Cap'n Steve, are you by any chance using DreamHost?

I just had the exact same symptoms on a DreamHost website. I've put in a service call to them about it.

This seems to suggest that DBD::mysql version 2.9 causes this problem, and DreamHost do seem to have made changes to their mysql very recently.

Yes I am, and that's an interesting thread you linked to. I wonder why it was changed, though. Automatically using the appropriate type worked fine, and I don't see why this specifically affects LIMITs.	[reply]

I assumed it was just a bug, or unintended feature. By the way, here's the rather cryptic DreamHost blog post on mysql 5 days ago: "while upgrading a package..." Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...	[reply]
