CHAR fields are allowed to strip trailing blanks. Try a BLOB field. Also make sure you escape your strings with whatever feature your language makes available. In C, for example, you would use mysql_real_escape_string(). If your interface supports bind variables, use them instead. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysql_real_escape_string.html -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
