hi i posted this to the newsgroups and got told it was probably a sql parser bug so here goes...
if u try to execute a query such as: insert into foo (id,textfield) values (54,'\\fred\\') the query fails if i add a space after the last \\ it works this is a real pain personally cos we use a lot of that stuff :( any workarounds or fixes or whatnots? many thanks oh yah the guy who replied to me on the newsgroup said i should submit this: JElkOiBzcWxwYXJzZXIubGliLnBocCx2IDEuMTUgMjAwMi8wNy8yNiAxODozMDo1OSBsZW05 IEV4 cCAkPGJyIC8+CldoeSBkaWQgd2UgZ2V0IGhlcmU/IDUgNiAxNDY8YnIgLz4KTGVmdG92ZXI6 IOE8 YnIgLz4KQTogNSA2PGJyIC8+ClNRTDogRGF0YWLhemUgcGl6emEgLSBUYWJ1bGthIHNpY2ls aWFu b190YWdlc19tZW51IG5hIGxvY2FsaG9zdCANCklOU0VSVCBJTlRPIHNpY2lsaWFub19jYXRl Z29y eV90YWdlc19tZW51IFZBTFVFUyAoMSwgJ0FudGlwYXN0aScsICdLYWx0ZSBWb3JzcGVpc2Vu Jyk= dunno what thats about but i hope it isnt a screw up or anything lauren --- "even if my world is weird its my world" --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
