Re: [Omaha.pm] Changing the current database in DBI

["Miller, Scott L (Omaha Networks)" <Scott.L.Miller@hp.com>]

Have you tried escaping the '-'?  Various characters need to be escaped
when they are part of an sql query/command...   Since I haven't had to
do much with SQL from perl, I'm not entirely sure how to go about it,
but I'm guessing a single \ character is probably not going to do it
correctly, but I could be wrong.

Thanks, but that didn't work either.

Any other ideas?  By backups are going to fail again tonight unless I
get this figured out...
