Good thought, but not it. I made sure to drop the table before re-running
the perl script. In fact, in part of my experimenting I even dropped and
recreated the database. That worked, creating the table did not.

You need to drop the table "Drop Table abundancies" prior to
recreating it
Obviously, you ran it once in query analyzer, creating the
table, and the second run is the one that fails.

Subject: error - object already exists in database
I'm trying to create tables via my Perl script, working against a remote
database. The error returned is:
DBD::Sybase::db do failed: Server message number=2714 severity=16 state=6
line=1 server=GILGAMESH\BIRDWEB text=There is already an object named
'abundancies' in the database. at sql_server.pl line 74, chunk 1.
The SQL being executed is:
CREATE TABLE abundancies (
bird_id integer not null,
ecoregion_id integer not null,
abundancy_notes text,
january char(1),
february char(1),
march char(1),
april char(1),
may char(1),
june char(1),
july char(1),
august char(1),
september char(1),
october char(1),
november char(1),
december char(1),
PRIMARY KEY (bird_id, ecoregion_id)
)
The code looks like:
sub do_command {
my $sql_command = shift;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:server='. $server, $user,
$pass, {RaiseError=>1, AutoCommit=>1})
or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
$dbh->do($sql_command);
$dbh->disconnect();
}
The reason I'm posting to this list is that if I execute the same command
from other tools (e.g. Query Analyzer) it works.
Any ideas?
