Subject: Disappearing "\"
> First, things, first - I am a newbie to MySQL but I have it up and running
quite well. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is why I'm
losing "\" (back slashes) in my stored data. I have a application I'm
considering MySQL for and one table must have a column containing a UNC
path. When I insert the value of "\\server\folder", MySQL turns it into
"\serverfolder" - very strange. I've set this column up as a varchar.
