Keith -----Original Message----- From: Bill Platt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 2:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Quotation Marks in Mysql fields I have what may seem a silly question on this list. As I am fairly new to mysql, I am not sure what the answer might be. I have noticed my software generating errors everytime I try to place the single or double quote into the table columns. At this time, I have scripted my perl to turn these quotation marks into nulls to get the software to quit triggering the error. Now, my question is this. How do I get the database to accept the quotation marks and apostrophes?? The kind of data I am entering into the tables is better with these items left in rather than left out.
