Subject: Linux Sybperl and Error handling
Date: Sep 15 1997 12:20PM
I'm writing a Web interface using Sybperl for Linux (and hence only have CTlib
available). I want all the routines in the API that I am writing to return
values so indicate whether or not SQL queuries were executed without any
problems.
Forgive my ignorance but I am confused by all the documentation explaining
errors and how to handle them. Of course, ct_execute returns a value but I
find that it does not properly reflect what actually happened.
Sometimes I will put SQL "insert" statements through, which won't work but
ct_execute returns CS_SUCCEED. At the moment, my workaround is to use a
procedure solely to execute the query that sets a STATUS value prior to calling
ct_execute. Then if any errors occur, the callback routine will modify the
STATUS variable which is then returned to the calling function.
My concern now is that should I being doing anything with $ret where
$ret = $dbh->ct_execute($sql);
because I'm now using the STATUS value as described above. In addition, am I
going about this in the right way? I have a feeling that my method is flawed.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
ttfn,
Tony
