Thread: Cusors in Perl DBI

Hello,

I'm now in the middle of trying to write a small cgi to fetch data from a
table using cursors.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

Regards,

Mark.

The info that you need is in a variety of places. Try

perldoc DBI

at the UNIX command line to get general DBI doc , or run pod2html
on the DBI source to get html versions of this. There is also a DBI
FAQ installed as part of the distrinbution.

perldoc DBD::Pg

will get you speciific Postgres DBD (driver) info.

Secondly, check out the DBI pages at

http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI/index.html

which will point you to various DBI-related resources (including
examples with cursors)

Hope this helps,

David
