This is pretty off-topic, but you can indeed use column labels with spaces or other special characters, as long as they are quoted. So `select foo as 'this is the label' from bar` [download] is perfectly valid, and DBD::Sybase will set the column name to 'this is the label'. Michael	[reply] [d/l]

I know, but my question was in regards of this situation: How would I pass " CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),date,101)" to the names of columns. From this code: `... my $sql = "select id, account_number, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),date,101) a +s date from my_table where id <>'' order by date desc"; my @columns = qw( id account_number box ); my $results = $self->_all_data($sql, \@columns); ...` [download] To this: `... my @columns = qw( id account_number date ); my $sql = "select ".join( ",", @columns). " from my_table where id <>'' order by date desc"; my $results = $self->_all_data($sql, \@columns); ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You cannot. My proposal only works for simple column names. Do you really need to pass the columns names? Can you not use `my $rs = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});` [download] without specifying the columns? According to the documentation it should work but I do not have your database to test it. This way everything would be controlled by your sql only.	[reply] [d/l]

In this case I will use the sample below for SQL queries that require a more complex call, yes I could use this: `my $rs = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});` [download] `... my $sql = "select id, account_number, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),date,101) a +s date from my_table where id <>'' order by date desc"; my @columns = qw( id account_number box ); my $results = $self->_all_data($sql, \@columns); ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
