Re^2: Answer: What are placeholders in DBI, and why would I want to use them?

You can, however, do something along the lines of: 01 my $sql = '... WHERE foo IN (' . join(',', ('?') x scalar( @values )) . ') ...'; in order to generate the proper placeholder-based statement that you can then pass your parameters into.

Only if you will have the same number of parameters for each binding; and know that number a priori when you prepare the statement.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Yes, absolutely. I made the assumption (probably poor) that this was not for performance, but to use placeholders in the SQL. Update to my response is ~~in order~~ done. --MidLifeXis	[reply]
