hi... i've been lloking over various open source apps to get a feel for how the apps store and manipulate information as it's stored in the mysql db...
i see some apps that put "'"s around strings that get stored in the db, as well as some apps that appear to put "'"s around numeric data... i'm trying to determine what's the best/correct approach. if i have a char data, should i place data in the colume that's been enclosed by "'"s? similarly, if i have numeric/date information, should it be enclosed in "'"s?? i'm currently looking through the mysql docs... thoughts/comments/etc... thanks -bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
