Incorrect SQL query in perl
I the the following perl script, however it does not return anything. Did i form my syantax wrongly?
Code:
$sth=$dbh->prepare("select a.rowid,a.* from Table1 a 
  		      where a.field1 = \'$Indicator1\' 
  		      and a.schedule = \'$Indicator2\'  and a.lastdate <= sysdate");
  		 $sth->execute()

After i hardcoded my code to the following, it worked
Code:
$sth=$dbh->prepare("select a.rowid,a.* from Table1 a 
  		      where a.field1 = 'Valid' 
  		      and a.schedule = 'Y'  and a.lastdate <= sysdate ");
  		 
$sth->execute()

i think the ' and \ could have messed up the syntax, how can i resolve it?
Indicator1 and indicator2 are not supposed to be hardcoded.

Hi all, i found my mistake. I mixed up my columns. The escaping is fine. I also realised that without the \, it would also work.
