Ok, you have found the solution to your problem, so everything is fine. Just for the record, though, I have run into this problem before, and it's not Sybase-specific, I can do it on Sybase or Oracle!

I described my trials and tribulations at My script locks up using DBI.

The Sybase libraries for Perl, written by our own mpeppler are very well done. While the single statement per connection sounds like a limitation, in general it isn't. It turns out that you can do a very neat thing with Sybase that you can't do in most other databases: you can queue up a series of statements in a session handler and process them serially. This usually obviates the need of creating two sessions on a connection. You just stick them all in the one session, and iterate over them.

For instance (shamelessy stealing from the documentation), you can do legally do something like:

my $ss = $dbh->prepare(" insert foo(one, two, three) values(1, 2, 3) select * from bar insert foo(one, two, three) values(10, 11, 12) "); $ss->execute;

Ok, so you don't always need this, but when you do need it (speaking from experience), you need it bad.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
