I don't know MySQL, but that doesn't appear to be a valid query. Queries start with SELECT. Anyway, on a query that returns rows, you fetch the rows with one of the fetch methods of the statement handle. Something like: my ($result) = $sth->fetchrow_array; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
