in reply to Multiple SQL statements

I believe this will depend on the DBD driver and Database. If the database would not let you run "CREATE TABLE foo; CREATE TABLE bar", then DBI will not either. I tested with my rather old version od MySql, and even from the myswl client, this did not work. I could be wrong, but from reading the DBD::Sybase source, and assuming others are similarly setup, i would have to say ... my gut says "maybe". All depends on the database.
OH, a sarcasm detector, that’s really useful
