Gleb, Thanks, eventually I find that the problem is not the special.

Not sure if it's documented anywhere, or just a simple programming concept that null plus anything equal null.. ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Gleb Paharenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 13:44:42 +0200 Subject: Re: how escape special in a field > Hello. > > See: > http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql_real_escape_string.html > > Can you send complete test for your problem? > > "YW CHAN (Cai Lun e-Business)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I find there seems problem with this select statement when there is a > > special > > character inside the table. i.e. > > > > select concat(field_1, ',', field_2) as name where ....... > > > > field_2 actually is something like 'George, Banson' ( with a comma in between ) > > > > i guess this , destroy the SQL syntax. > > > > Is there any function for protecting this situation? > > > > Thanks for your help. > > > > > > Regards, CHAN > > > > -- > For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita > This email is sponsored by Ensita.NET http://www.ensita.net/ > __ ___ ___ ____ __ > / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Gleb Paharenko > / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.NET > <___/ www.mysql.com > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- End of Original Message ------- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
