Interesting idea. So you want to send an HTTP response first, such that the
client can execute the VBScript, such that the server can use the results
while executing the server side code, such that the HTTP response can be
generated.
Do you see a problem with that?
Not that this has anything to do with Perl to begin with....

You could have a look at some of the modules found on CPAN;
<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Data%3A%3APage&mode=all>
> Example query: my $sth=$dbh->prepare("select CITY from MYDB where

What you probably want - if you need to roll this on your own - is to
use LIMIT;
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ... LIMIT [offset], [limit]
Refer to the MySQL documentation for more details. You will also want to
have a look at the 'SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS' function, which I'm guessing is
MySQL specific.

Thanks for the comments. Back about 5 years ago I wrote a CGI program using
some version of Perl. And it ran automatically on this one an Internet
server for about a year. I don't recall exactly what the code looked like.
But if I remember correctly it was somewhat different than the version of
Perl that I am presently running on my PC.
In any case if things ever get to the point where it is time to create
another CGI program then all of this will have to be investigated.

Subject: Testing for postgres index
Message-Id: <ct5b3d$pok$1@helium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk>
How can I test for the existance of an index in a postgres (7.4) table
via the perl DBI?
I want to write an function that I can pass database, table and column,
which, if the table already has an index uses REINDEX to rebuild the
index and if the index does not exist use CREATE INDEX.
I've had a look through <http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.46/DBI.pm>
and could not see anything relevent (I would have assumend column_info()
would do the job)
A bit of Googling gave me a MySQL solution ("SHOW INDEX FROM table")
but I can't find a postgers equivilant.
What am I missing?

Most relational databases have a data dictionary (stored as tables) that you
can query. Look at the Postgres documentation.

The willingness to try? 60 seconds in psql gives me this:
select count(*) from pg_indexes where tablename = '....' and indexname = '....';
And being told to read the documentation does not qualify as trolling.

Saying 'An answer exists' without providing at least a clue as to the nature
of the answer is unhelpful
Gregory Toomey told me to read the documentation, but he rather

Gregory provided no references and did no searching for me all he
told me was:-
"Most relational databases have a data dictionary (stored as tables) that you
can query. Look at the Postgres documentation."
Which narrowed the search are down from all of the DBI documentation
and all postgres documentation down to Chapter VII. Internals

And asking you if you looked to the _postgres docs_ was trolling in which
way? I would like to understand that, because I want to help people if I
can. But it get's lesser fun every time someone calls you a "troll" for

I am very sorry I called you a troll (honestly), I had spent the morning
trying to find a solution and writing the post and was convinced
that I had missed something DBI documentation, partucuarly column_info().
Your posts came across to me as 'I know exactly where the answer is,
but I am going to make you crawl across broken glass before I will tell
you' and I posted in haste, I'm sorry.

See what you get for asking an off-topic question?
It is better *for you* to ask postgres questions in the postgres
newsgroup. That is where the people that know about postgres
hang out after all!

They all go to /var/adm/SYSLOG.

I tested
logger -p local5.notice "this is a test"
and it came out exactly where I expected it.
I also tested the return values of openlog (it was 1) and each syslog call
with my various strings, and I got the following values :
53,58,60,62,65,75
But I'm still not getting anything in syslog...
Anyone know if I need to have the options in all caps or if the quotes
should be single rather than double? This is very frustrating ...
