Hi All,
I am a newbee with SQL just getting my feet wet with it. I
have a few questions.
I have data that will take about 30,000 rows. If I throw
it all into one table will my performance suffer alot?
Also I am not able to make a connection to my database using
DBI
here is the snippet of code I am using to connect, can
anyone see what is wrong with it?
The error I get is Can't connect to MySQL server on
localhost (61)
my isp has the mysql servers on dedicated machines. So I
don't think the hostname is localhost?
------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use DBI;
$drh = DBI->install_driver( 'mysql' );
$dbh = $drh->connect(
'hostname','databasename','myusername','mypassowrd' ) ;
print "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr\n" unless $dbh;
$dbh->disconnect;
exit;
------------------------------------------
Thanks for all the help!!
Albert
