Hi, using prepared statements to create views is quite a useless excercise (sorry, dont mean it as harsh as it sounds). Prepared statments internally create stored procedures that will be eventually parameterized. View creation is nothing more than writing text into sysviews (or whatever) and is not an expensive operation. Using stored procedures to create views sounds a bit like overkill.

By the way, if you can connect to the database via perl, why do you extract the data by bcp? If you have the power of perl at hand why not using it for data extraction and immeadiate reporting (or so)? Performance is the only issue I could think of... However raw data as extracted via bcp usually requires some further munging to be useful.
