When I use this syntax, the first state gets inserted into the field and the 
others are ignored. Here is my exact SQL:

mysql> insert into contr
    -> VALUES(
    -> "", 0, "Hammer Whackers", "Bob Hammer",
    -> "3390 Peachtree Rd.", "", "Atlanta",
    -> "GA", "30326", "", "404-326-0200",
    -> "", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
    -> "http://www.hammerwhackers.com";,
    -> "FL, SC, TN", "thehammer", "Hammer1", curdate());

Only "FL" shows up after the insert. All of the other fields come out as I 
expect. The field with state abbreviations is the only one that is a data 
type of set. I am using MySQL 3.23.47.
