[rt-users] perl and mysql

[Micah Anderson]

This works for me:

$db_handle = DBI->connect
                      ("DBI:mysql:$DATABASE:$location:port_num", 
                        $username, $password, $dbi_options )
                        || die ("Connection error: $DBI::errstr");
			

$result = $db_handle->prepare("SELECT * FROM $TABLE");
$result->execute();
 

while (my ($owner, $address, $nickname, $fullname) = 
        $result->fetchrow_array())

 {

 print "$owner, $address, $nickname, $fullname\n";
 
 }
