There are two DBI methods that are very helpful to
Perl Dbi Errstr
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 count < perl dbi try catch '?'");
$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...

DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:mydsn", "xxx", "yyy") or die "$DBI::errstr"; Normally this is a true and non-zero value, but in some cases it is a true but zero value e.g. DBDs will return a true value for an insert operation that inserts zero rows, but if you know the insert should insert a row, you test the returned value is true and not "0E0" (which is true but zero). See the next section, "RaiseError" and "Test inserts worked".RaiseErrorThe handle attribute RaiseError is, by default, turned off. When the RaiseError attribute is turned on for a handle, it causes die to be called (or your HandleError routine) when an error occurs using DBI. If you turn RaiseError on in the DBI connect

So for example if an insert fails because there were illegal characters in the values being inserted, how can I not have the script fail, but capture the error and handle it appropriately. I don't want to do the "or die" coz I don't want to stop execution of the script. perl exception error-handling dbi share|improve this question edited Jan 27 '11 at 23:10 Ether 39.8k1065140 asked Jan 27 '11 at perl sql error 23:02 Chris 65331422 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 12 down vote accepted Use the RaiseError=>1 configuration in DBI->connect, and wrap your calls to the $dbh and $sth in a try block (TryCatch and Try::Tiny are good implementations for try blocks). See the docs for more information on other connect variables available. for example: use strict; use warnings; use DBI; use Try::Tiny; my $dbh = DBI->connect( $your_dsn_here, $user, $password, { PrintError => 0, PrintWarn => 1, RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1, } ); try { # deliberate typo in query here my $data = $dbh->selectall_arrayref('SOHW TABLES', {}); } catch { warn "got dbi error: $_"; }; share|improve this answer edited Jan 28 '11 at 3:16 cjm 52k795148 answered Jan 27 '11 at 23:03 Ether 39.8k1065140 1 Shouldn't you put the connect within the try block as well? –mscha Jan 27 '11 at 23:13 @mscha: that's not necessary - connect will return undef if it fails.

Typically this is written to STDERR (but see below for how this could have been overridden). Scripts which run as daemons may redirect STDERR to a logfile, to syslog, or (less helpfully) to /dev/null. Similar considerations apply to scripts that are called by daemons (such as CGI scripts). Investigation Strategy There are five possibilities to consider: the DBI module is not being called in the manner that you intended, or the DBI module is not delivering the intended SQL statements to the database, or the SQL statements are not having the desired effect when they are executed by the database, or the DBI module is not correctly returning the result set to the client program, or the client program is misinterpreting the result set. If an error message is generated then it is likely that both the point of failure and the cause of failure will be obvious. Otherwise, it will be necessary to trace the query through its various stages of processing to determine where it deviates from what is expected. Ensure that error messages are visible The DBI module can report errors in several different ways: If $dbh is the connection handle then $dbh->err will be true if the most recent substantive operation failed, otherwise it will be undefined or false. If $dbh->err is true then $dbh->errstr should contain a human-readable error message. If the PrintError option is set (as it is by default) then errors are additionally reported using the Perl warn function. If the R
