DBI error question

[cmarchman]

I've got a program that is operating as it should, with one exception:

When the script completes I receive the following error;

Driver has not implemented the disconnect_all method. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 575
END failed--call queue aborted.

Can anyone explain this error, and how to correct it or get it so that it will not show up?

Thanks,

Without wanting to wind you up by stating the obvious - it means that the DBD, the database driver you're using, hasn't implemented the disconnect_all method (routine) The DBI tries to call this method when it finishes so that it can ensure everything is cleaned up.

Which DBD (database) are you using?

I'm using MySQL ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.54, for pc-linux (i686).

I even looked into the DBI.pm file and noticed that the line for disconnect_all had single quotes around it. Is this a way to comment out the command? And if I remove the single quotes, does it take a full reboot of the system to read it in?

Thanks,

No, the single quotes around it are to do with the way it's called.

Is that the latest version of DBD::MySQL you have there? I notice that you're running Perl 5.6.1 - have you considered upgrading to the latest stable version?

As you're running linux you should be able to use the very nice ActiveState binary installation. Go have a look at
