myself> select ' chrishallgren'; is not selecting the contents of
chrisallgren, it's selecting the literal ' chrishallgren'
your select statement is not complete. it should be
Select <fieldsList> from <tableName>
Your statement does not have a from tablename specified.
If you are trying to switch databases then it's
use chrishallgren;
