I'm working on fixing this.

Subject:    The call to "prepare" is also executing the statement (also
       under bug report 599)




I believe to have found a bug in the behavior of "prepare" in DBD::Sybase
1.05.

The act of preparing a statement that has no bound parameters is, in fact,
executing the statement as well.

A snippet from my test script follows:

...
DBI->trace(5);
my $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password);
my $st = $dbh->prepare('select * into tmp from some_table');
...

I stepped through the code in the debugger and found that immediately after
the
call to prepare, the trace log indicates: "cmd_execute() -> ct_command()
OK".
I confirmed that it does insert these rows into the database at the point
of
merely preparing the statement.

My understanding is that this statement should not execute until I
explictly
call "$st->execute()". Version 1.02 of the driver behaved as I expected
(i.e.
it did not execute until "execute" was called).

Have I found a bug or is this a misunderstanding of the api?

Many thanks for a great product.

Dave

some_table');
