Well... This seems to be a typical tricky-goute-on-qoute thing... I recommend you to test your query in mysql client directly (if you havn't already done that). And THEN take the battle with perls quoting mechanism... Another tip is to just print the query before executing so You ca

Maybe I'm misreading what you did, but $dbh->quote($group) adds the single quotes around the string, so using it followed by "...WHERE newsgroup='$group'" gets you WHERE newsgroup=''name.of.group'' Also, your example sets $newsgroup using quote, but uses $group in the query, which is a problem

This is too weird; I can quote until I see blew in the face, but I cannot seem to make MySQL understand that the name 'group-name' is valid to select. It keeps blabbing "You have an error in your SQL syntax". I mean, what is the purpose of its own quote function if it can not even quote properly?
