That is correct, sir

Well, since you are using "$oid", I should make sure and point out that you really should use place holders...

     $dbh->do( "DELETE FROM table WHERE oid = ?", undef, $oid );

     or

      $sth = $dbh->prepare( "DELETe FROM table WHERE oid = ?" );
      $sth->execute( $oid );
