Hello.
I create a table:
CREATE TABLE groups (
group_id serial PRIMARY KEY,
name varchar(64) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
guests integer[] DEFAULT '{}'
)
I add a new record to the table:
INSERT INTO groups (name) VALUES ('My friends');
Now the table contains 1 record:
| group_id | name | guests
+----------+------------+--------
| 1 | My friends | {}
I read the new record from the table using DBI:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(qq/SELECT * FROM groups/);
$sth->execute();
my (@guests, $group);
push(@guests, $group) while $group = $sth->fetchrow_hashref(); # Line 4
print $guests[0]->{guests}->[0]; # Why ({group_id=>1, name=>'My friends', guests=>[0]}) ?
Output of the script:
Argument "" isn't numeric in null operation at ./guestmanager.pl line 4
0
DBD should return a reference to an empty array. But DBD returned the reference to the array containing 1 element (0). How can I have a different result:
({group_id=>1, name=>'My friends', guests=>[]})
PS
Version of DBD::Pg is 2.9.0 .
