I have set the perl to die with the statement to examine it, and it looks
good, here is an example:
update Questions set type='f', question='In an experiment, the variable
that you change in a systematic and purposeful way is called the <_>
variable.', answer='independent', unit='Unit I. Introduction to
LAAPhysics', model='Scientific Investigation Model (Underpinnings)',
difficulty=NULL, description=NULL, standards=NULL, benchmarks=NULL where
qid=3
The strange thing is, the equivalent statement also works on a mSQL server
running win2k. I am on linux(RH7) with mysql (latest beta).
Thanks, Oliver Hinds
