Re: DBI + 'SELECT *' - Memory Use Galore?

My question would be, why are you trying to get a return value from the execute()? Im not sure if this is a problem or not, because I have never done that before. I do know that it works great when I don't do that. Just my humble opinion.

A valid reason for getting that return value is so that you can check it and do error processing. (The text of the error is in `$dbh->errstr`.)	[reply] [d/l]
