NAME

DBD::mysql::AutoTypes -- automatically assign parameters' sql type to support old DBD::mysql functionality

SYNOPSIS

     use DBI;
     use DBD::mysql::AutoTypes;
     my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:...', '...', '...') and mysql_auto_types();

DESCRIPTION

Since version 2.9002 DBD::mysql requires explicit sql type for query parameters. You should change the tonnes of $dbh->selectall_arrayref() to the ugly "prepare - bind - execute - fetch" pipeline.

This module is provided to solve the problem.

You have to change only two lines of code (use the module, and apply fixup after accuring database connection).

DEPENDENCIES

• DBI
