in reply to more and more dbi issues

One idea: could autocommit possibly be off? If so, you will need $dbh->commit to commit the changes to the database.

Update: fixed a typo.

    am i allowed to have these statements in a loop or is this against dbase rules. does it compromise dbi standards to have 3 updates running 13 times in a loop??? is there protection against this. if this message doesn't make sense i've been coding 4 10hrs flat and am slowly shutting down. i hope u get the gist.

      According to House Bill 17289, in preparation, programming loops will no longer be able to nest beyond two levels deep. It looks like this sucker's going to become law, so you'd better hope that your code gets grandfathered in.

      In other news ... DBI won't prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot -- if you issue updates upon updates of the same row, it won't complain. Your DBMS might, on the other hand. It's up to you to ensure that your code's correct, here as nearly everywhere else.
