Re^5: untainting or encoding for shelled sqlplus update

There's no bulk in this case; it's one record at a time. Does that change your answer or is there some clever design you're thinking of (I love cleverness)?

#my sig used to say 'I humbly seek wisdom. '. Now it says:
use strict;
use warnings;
I humbly seek wisdom.

By one record I assume you mean one row in a database table (or several tables)? A bulk loader will load one row just as well as 1,000,000. You are already shelling out, why not shell out to a better tool.	[reply]
