Hi Monkers,
I have use the DBD::Sybase one year or so. That's nice to work to connect SqlServer.
But recently, i came across a strange garbage issues. pls help me to check.

I wanna insert a Asian characters' html content into SqlServer ,
if i do it like this, it work nicely.

$some_content = 'so long Asian character (maybe it contain single quot
+ation)';
$sql = "insert into test_table(field) values ($dbh->quote($some_conten
+t))";
$dbh->do($sql); # you know, this works.

But if i do it by another way, i get some garbage character in test_table:

$some_content = $dbh->quote('so long Asia character (maybe it contain 
+single quotation)');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("insert into test_table(field) values (?)");
$sth->execute($some_content);
$sth->finish();

What's wrong with the second method? Or it is a $dbh->quote bug in Asian character?
Thanks in advance!

• 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).
