List,
I have a problem here that I am having a little bit of trouble trying to
resolve. Firstly I have a Perl script that connects to a PostgreSQL
database using the DBI module. I want to be able to SELECT a column from
the database and return the total result.
For example if I do the following...
$sth = $dbh ->prepare( qq{ SELECT minutes
FROM table
WHERE status = 'COMPLETE'
} ) || die $dbh->errstr; ;
$sth->execute;
The minutes attribute is of type integer. I want to be able to calculate
the total for the attribue minutes. So far the result for the SQL query
above is...
minutes
--------
30
45
5
5
15
25
15
5
25
25
(10 rows)
How would I with Perl now count the column above and return a result?
Any ideas would help imensly.
kind regards,
Daniel Falkenberg
