Thanks, Hans, once again, I hit just reply instead of reply to all... I did a quick test on the key message, and it appears that some keys are still not allowed. Such things as a double quote ("), a percent sign (%), and left bracket ([) (but it does allow a right bracket), the backslash (\) and a tilde (~). All of these characters can be typed directly into the [text] widget.
While I know some of the characters are special in PD, some of these things are probably needed to support the full character set that SQL can recognize. I was hoping that I could use a [text] object as a buffer to create multiple SQL statements that would get sent to the server as a group. I kind of think this would be useful in storing data in a database, in hopes of keeping down the number of things sent to the server at once. I was toying with the idea of adding this to the SQL external itself, but I seem to be running into a problem that I can't troubleshoot, as it doesn't appear to have any rhyme or reason as to why it acts that way.
