Post the Perl code you're using for the insert query. It sounds like you're doing something wrong with placeholders.
I got an email from Matthew Smith who adviced me to do:
$sql=qq{ INSERT INTO MyTable (MyFields) VALUES (?, ?, etc) }; $sth=$dbh->prepare($sql); $sth->execute( $val1 ,$val2, etc);
instead of what I did originally:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyFields) VALUES ($val1, $val2, etc);
Question marks are no longer replaced with NULL values in the text column this way, still, when I enter question marks into the charvar fields, the record is not taken into he database. I'm not sure whether this is a mySQL or a Perl problem at this stage.
Any ideas?
