Right, Baron, that's much better (safer) than my second solution! TMTOWTDI.
The problem is (in both approaches) that the statement should be an INSERT
rather than a SELECT. Unless the columns are specified excplitly, the number
of parameters in the VALUES(...) part must match the number of columns in
the table, unless I'm mistaken about SQL syntax. You may, of course, insert
NULLs (aka undefs in the Perl world), but you have to do so explicitly.
