Hi guys, i have a problem when trying to pass shell variable to the SET data type in parentheses. i have a variable like this:
$ echo $var "value1","value2","value3" what i did: mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE '$table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET(" '$var' ");' $database ; the result: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'value1","value2","value3' at line 1 what do i have to do? please help me.
