MySQL and mSQL

Name

$DBI::errstr

Synopsis

$error = $handle->errstr;

$DBI::errstr returns the error message for the last DBI error encountered. The value remains until the next error occurs, at which time it is replaced. If no error has occurred during your session, the function returns undef. The variable $DBI::errstr performs the same function. This function is available from both database and statement handles.

Example

Use DBI;
my $db = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:mydata','webuser','super_secret_squirrel');
...
my $error = $db->errstr;
warn("This is your most recent DBI error: $error");
