Subject: Problem importing data from Access
> When I import data from the text file I exported out of Access it works
> correctly except that MySql seems to append and/or prepend some sort of
> mystery character to the fields it imports. So, I can get the data into
the
> database, but I can't get it out (since the SQL statement can't match the
> mystery character). I'm using the graphical interface to import data
since
> it fails at the command line even though my version of MySql is a later
one
> than the required 3.22.15. The GUI shows the mystery character as a bold
> pipe "|". The command line seems to show a problem with the size of the
> field. The select * from table statements look like this on the command
> line:
>
> +----------+
> | Col 1 |
