<p class=MsoNormal>There are several odd things in your code.&nbsp; For one, I
wouldn't use global variables, they'll cause you trouble
eventually.&nbsp;&nbsp; For another, use &quot;puts&quot; instead of
&quot;printf&quot;.&nbsp; Your &quot;while&quot; loop should fetch each row,
but your commented-out line &quot; sth.each&quot; is a lot more Ruby-like way
to do it.&nbsp; <br>
<br>
I assume by &quot;not execute&quot; you mean that the results of each printf
are shown only at the end?&nbsp; That's probably just an artifact of your
output mode.&nbsp; Are you sure that your execution mode doesn't just flush the
buffer at the end of the run?&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
