Yes, when I finally read the docs correctly, I saw this. Irritating, but
that's what I get for ignoring the documentation.

That is pretty silly looking, isn't it? But for some reason, I'm having
trouble getting DBI to understand queries that have string concatenation

and it will work correctly this time.

Thanks for the info.
