[snip] What's the deal w/ backslash? [/snip] It is an escape character. In order to get things with backslashes, as you have deduced, you
SELECT "\\" Do you have a column '\'? If so, why? Backslashes are often used in this way... SELECT businessName FROM table WHERE businessName = 'Doc\'s'; Because the apostrophe in Doc's would cause the field to be read as 'Doc', but escaping the apostrophe allows it to be searched properly. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
