Name
Msql::selectdb
Synopsis
$db->selectdb($database);
Msql::selectdb selects a database from the
database server. If the selection fails, the error is placed in
Msql::errmsg. The only effective way to test for
the success of this function is to examine the value of
$db->database and compare it to the database to
which you intended to connect. You may switch databases at any time
during your program.
Example
use Msql;
my $db = Msql->connect;
$db->selectdb('mydata');
# The database is now 'mydata'
if ($db->database ne 'mydata') {
warn('AWOOOGA! The database wasn't properly selected!');
}
...
$db->selectdb('myotherdata');
# The database is now 'myotherdata'Get MySQL and mSQL now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
