UNCONFIRMED errors and suggestions from readers:


[84]  table;
There is a listed errata for the syntax line in the "mSQL" section of this tabl
eon this site.

The example line in same the section is written as:

dbi:mSQL:fowliswester.arcana.co.uk:archaeo:1114

If following the new syntax, it should be changed to:

dbi:mSQL:archaeo:fowliswester.arcana.co.uk:1114

It works OK. 
But there is 3 messages come out when execute $dbh->table_info(). It is same problem on calling $dbh->tables(). The 3 messages are the same as listed below :

{181}  examples using DBI_AUTOPROXY:
A reader has reported that they needed to add a semicolon character before 
"hostname=" for the examples to work. If so then that may be a bug in the 
DBD::Proxy module.
