Re: Re: What's in a DBI statement handle?

Unfortunately, this won't work -- you'll get the Data::Dumper equivalent of what rinceWind showed. Since the statement handle is a tied hash and the DBI is ultra-concerned with efficiency and speed, the properties don't actually get filled until you call them. Best bet is to read the docs.

So DBI hides the keys it contains? Yves / DeMerphq --- Writing a good benchmark isnt as easy as it might look.	[reply]
Hiding handle attributes by lachoy (Parson) on May 17, 2002 at 17:31 UTC
Right -- more specifically: as a tied hash it does not implement the `FIRSTKEY` and `NEXTKEY` methods to list the attributes supported. There's probably a very good reason for this -- many implementation behaviors in the DBI may seem weird at first but on further inspection make a lot of sense.
