You can most likely preclude empty/invalid data with SQL. Let's say your
field/column name is 'name'. Then with your DBI prepare() call, you can
preclude records where name is blank, null, or whatever you'd like.
$sth = $dbh->prepare( 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE name IS NOT NULL' );
$sth->execute

TMN:any calculations on them obviously. How do I check whether
TMN:the column contains data, once I have retrived all the data
TMN:using fetchrow_hashref().
you probably should ask on a dbi list.
