Let me comment on what arturo said.I'm only using SQL between >>END_SQL and END_SQL. The if statements where it says print "insert $comp_id in table TYPES for $data[0]\n"; and print "insert '$hash{$comp_id}' in table COMPANY\n";...all I'm telling Perl to do is print those lines...they are NOT intended for SQL calls.
