Re: cursor problem

Hi,

As I never had response to this tips I stay in a count(*) before execute
the statement. I have done a well working SQL Select Perl function to
do all the stuff. I have not test it on a very large database, but I think
it's
not very speed. If you want I can post it to the list.

Hope this help.
