I wated to etst your script which seem very slick but i cant create a primary key.
i am tryign this:
$dbh->do( "CREATE TABLE games (gamename text, gamedesc text, gamecount
+er int, primary key(gamename))" );
Also can you please tell me what went wrong with my aproach even though i dont use a primary key? Here is the code!
my (@row, $gamename, $gamedesc, $gamecount);
my $select = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT * FROM games WHERE gamename=?" );
my $insert = $dbh->prepare( "INSERT INTO games (gamename, gamedesc, ga
+mecounter) VALUES (?, ?, ?)" );
my $update = $dbh->prepare( "UPDATE games SET gamedesc=?, gamecount=?+
+1 where gamename=?" );
open (FILE, "<../data/games/descriptions.txt") or die $!;
while (<FILE>) {
chomp;
($gamename, $gamedesc) = split /\t/;
$select->execute( $gamename );
if ($select->rows) {
$update->execute( $gamedesc, $gamecount, $gamename );
}
else {
$insert->execute( $gamename, $gamedesc, 0 );
}
}
close (FILE);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
