Thanks for the reference. Sorry for the delay in responding but I had been
away. Yes the mystring$ is built with single strops to quote the content. I
have an issue running this command so I have worked around it by putting the
content of the var mystring$ into a text file and then putting it into the
BLOB field using LOAD_FROM_FILE.
Slower I know but I get no errors.

Subject: Re: update a Blob field using UPDATE
Hello.
Have you applied mysql_real_escape_string to your BLOB variable first?
See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-real-escape-string.html
I do not see the quotes around mystring$ as well.

I am importing data from a non MySQL table into MySQL.
In the table there is a text field of up to length 4000 chars. I have
defined the column as blob in the MySQL table.
I can read the text field of the source table into a variable e.g.
mystring$. The MySQL table has been set, except for this data.
I thought to use
SQLString = UPDATE TheTable SET Notes = + mystring$ + WHERE
TheTableRef = ' + Myref$ + ';
I get error:
You have an error in the SQL syntax
I have tried to search the manual for an example of updating a blob column
from a variable and cannot find one. I don't want to save the content of
the
var to disk and then load from file because of the time it takes.
Do I have another option?
