Re: Insert query problem
You can use the back quote(`) to escape the field name. It's the ~ key on the keyboard. tickets(`from`,`department`,... If you type SHOW CREATE TABLE tickets, you'll see mysql escapes all the field names to avoid reserve word conflicts.

You can use backticks ( ` ) to escape the names: INSERT INTO `tickets` ( `id` , `from` , `departement` . hth, melanie From: "Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Subject: Insert query problem Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 11:42:34 -0500 All, I can't get this query to run, it keeps compaining that there is a problem: The Query: insert into tickets(id,from,department,subject,body,lastaction,lastpost,priority,sta tus,created,fromname,lastpostname,attach,ct,uniq,notify,replyto) values(null,'jmckeon','1','test','test test',unix_timestamp(now()),'"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>','Medium','Open',unix_timestamp(now()),'Jeff McKeon','Jeff McKeon','','','ks5hslajdfasd','1','[EMAIL PROTECTED]') The error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'from,department,subject,body,lastaction,lastpost,priority,status,create d,fromnam' at line 1 I suspect it doesn't like the fact that I have a field named "from" but I KNOW it's possible to write to this table and that field, I just can't figure out the correct syntax to get it to accept the fieldname "from".

All,
I can't get this query to run, it keeps compaining that there is a
problem:
The Query:
insert into
tickets(id,from,department,subject,body,lastaction,lastpost,priority,sta
tus,created,fromname,lastpostname,attach,ct,uniq,notify,replyto)
values(null,'jmckeon','1','test','test
test',unix_timestamp(now()),'"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>','Medium','Open',unix_timestamp(now()),'Jeff
McKeon','Jeff McKeon','','','ks5hslajdfasd','1','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
The error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near
'from,department,subject,body,lastaction,lastpost,priority,status,create
d,fromnam' at line 1
I suspect it doesn't like the fact that I have a field named "from" but
I KNOW it's possible to write to this table and that field, I just can't
figure out the correct syntax to get it to accept the fieldname "from".
Thanks,
Jeff

Big Insert query problem
Hi, I have FreeBSD 5.1beta with mysql 4.0.13. When I try to insert 18MB data into myisam table using command "mysql emls < big_query", it says "Error 1030 (Got error 12 from table handler)". After that myisam table crashes and I have to run mysqlcheck command to fix the index. The query is only one insert query with 18MB of data. Can somebody suggest me the solution for this?
