I have a table in a database which contains a date field. Being technically inept this filed was specified as of type Char. I would now like correct my error. My idea was to read in the date for each line of the table, then insert this value back into a new field. My code... #! d:/perl/bin/pe

This is a concept question rather than a code question. I have a script which produces a simple report on some simple disk space stats for servers I work with. I thought it would be useful to put this information into a database on a daily basis. This would allow me to then look at historic data
