Hang on a minute - you may be rushing to change something you do not need to. The point being made is that if you open a cursor on a result-set, don't retrieve the whole result-set then close the connection you have not got all of the result-set you queried in the first place. So long as you retrieve the result-set via combined DBI functions or otherwise, then closing the connection should not matter. Of course this depends on where you store the results and whether the variables you store the results in go out of scope and are destroyed but the basic principle is go need to retrieve the result-set before closing the connection.

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).
