I've been watching the list for some response to this problem, but have seen nothing. Is no one else having this problem and I'm just missing something or is this a problem? I've emailed support, but I've not received anything from them ether.

Hi

I'm having the quoting problem right now on 5.5. I've moved some of my programs that I was running on 5.0 to 5.5. Now all of the updates, that use text fields in my db, have to be quoted, in criteria box, before the update will work. I've made a small test .taf to test this and you can't use a <@var> in criteria box because if you quote it <@var> shows up not it's value.

noSQLEncoding should only affect the behavour of a directDBMS action. An update action should not be affected.

I've had to use the same method that Trevor mentions below and it has always worked on 5.0. I've yet to upgrade to 5.5 so I can't comment on whether or not it works for me, but now I'm worried about it.

Trevor, please raise this as a bug with Witango if you can easily reproduce it.

Can you explain why you need the quotes when it is a char field?

Have you tried the noSQLEncoding switch

I have a problem with 5.5 on Mac OSX server and MySql. I have an update action with a field which is has the Quote value attribute set to false. I am trying to update the field with the following expression

<@ifempty <@arg ownership>>null<@else>'1'</@if>

i.e. sql should read /field=null/ or /field=’1’/ depending on the value of ownership. This worked fine on 5.0 but since upgrading to 5.5 the server insists on quoting even when quote value is set to false. So, I either get a value of null (i.e. the word null being stored in the field – which is a char field) or the value ‘1’ (i.e. quote 1 quote) instead of having an empty field or a field with the value of 1. Has anyone else experienced this?
