Hi,

I am unable to insert data into MySql with following script:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use DBI;
use Mysql;
$infile = "/cadfs8/sys/dnazary/mysql_test_data1";
$dbh = DBI ->connect('DBI:mysql:dnazary_test:localhost', 'root', 'mysql');
open (IFH, $infile) or die ("Could not open input file.");
foreach (<IFH>) {
(@fields) = split / /, $_;
$query = $dbh->prepare ("INSERT into infiles (keynum,name,model) 
VALUES('null','$fields[0]','$fields[1]')"); 
$query->execute();
}   
close IFH;
$dbh->disconnect();

The error I get is:
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'name' in 'field list' at 
./mysql_write1.pl line 21, <IFH> line 1.


However when I remove my column names in the INSERT command as below, it works.

$query = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO infiles VALUES('null','$fields[0]','$fields[1]')");

I have tried numerous variations of the code and all have failed. Yet every post on 
the web claims that it works.
Any comments, suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
David
