It seems that mysql was not recognising the RTF curly quotes (or their text only derivative - (Œ ¹ ³ ²) as quotes (' or ").
I opened the text document in a text editor and 'stupified' the quotes and the file now imports perfectly. Would this be considered a bug or something worth mentioning to the developers? cheers kim --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
