Can somebody tell me where I am going wrong with this code?
I am trying to delete all the data from every table in the database by importing the data coming from show tables into a query that deletes all the data.
(there is probably another way, using the informa_schema, I'll try that if nobody can answer this one)
Thanks
my $query = $dbh->prepare('SHOW TABLES');
if (defined($query)) {
$query->execute();
my @row;
while (@row = $query->fetchrow_array()) {
$sql = qq|delete from ?|;
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die "Cannot prepare: " . $db
+h->errstr();
$sth->execute($row[0]) or die "Cannot execute: " . $sth->e
+rrstr();
}
}
$query->finish();

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).
