There are two DBI methods that are very helpful perl dbi example to manually check for database errors: 'err' and 'errstr'. 'err' returns the native database engine error code from the last DBI method called. The code returned is usually an integer. 'errstr' returns the native database engine error message from the last DBI method called. Example: $dbh = DBI->connect($data_src, $user, $pwd) or die $DBI::errstr;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("DELETE FROM table WHERE
Perl Dbi Errstr
count < '?'");
$sth->execute(25);
if ( $sth->err )
{
die "ERROR! return code: . $sth->err . " error msg: " . $sth->errstr . "\n";
}
-- Setting 'RaiseError' attribute If DBI 'RaiseError' attribute is set to '1' (is '0' by default), then any database error will cause the DBI module to 'die' with an appropriate message. When using 'RaiseError', is recommended to set the 'PrintError' atribute to '0') Example: my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pw, { RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0 });

You can also provide a custom sub to handle errors with the RaiseError flag set. After establishing server connection: $dbh->{HandleError} = sub { my $error = shift; # do something with error...; }; Or in attributes: my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:......, { RaiseError => 1, HandleError => \&DBerror })|| die $DBI::errstr; sub DBerror { my $error = shift; # do something with error... } etc...

NewestNodes Donate What'sNew on Apr 14, 2000 at 03:36UTC ( #7568=perltutorial: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help?? Tricks with DBI 1. Check for database errors. You're going to run into errors with databases for similar reasons that you do when using http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=7568 system calls and the like. And just as you should always check the return code of your system calls, so should you always check the return status of your database calls. The https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/programming-the-perl/1565926994/ch04s05.html easiest way to do this is by setting DBI's RaiseError attribute to 1; first connect to the database (and check the return), then set the RaiseError attribute: my $dbh = DBI->connect('foo', 'bar', 'baz', perl dbi 'mysql') or die "Can't connect: ", $DBI::errstr; $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1; [download] By doing this, you ensure that any database error will cause a die. Why is this good? Because generally, if you're writing a database application and you have a database error, you don't want to continue as if nothing happened. :) (Besides, you can always catch the die in an eval; just make sure that perl dbi fetch you handle the errors rather than ignoring them.) The other way to check for errors, of course, is to check the return of each method call, eg.: my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select id from foo") or die "Can't prepare: ", $dbh->errstr; $sth->execute or die "Can't execute: ", $dbh->errstr; [download] So as not to make your code one big C-like mess of error checking, though, you might as well just use RaiseError. 2. Use placeholders instead of literal values. This is covered pretty thoroughly in What are placeholders in DBI. Suffice it to say here, then, that you should use placeholders instead of literal values. Always (or pretty much, at least). And, for the same reasons, you should use prepare_cached instead of prepare. 3. The fastest way to fetch. When you execute a SELECT statement, you want to get the data back as quickly as possible. The fastest way to do this is to use the bind_columns and fetch methods, because they don't copy a bunch of memory around. bind_columns binds Perl variables to columns returned from your SELECT statement. For example, if you had the following SQL statement: select id, name, phone from people [download] You'd
