The mySQL manual says that embedded double quotes within a single quoted expression (as in 'O"Hara') need no special treatment. However, when I try to update a data base field using such an expression, as in:
UPDATE table set col1='O"Hara' the result I get is that everything to the right of the double quote is deleted. In other words, the result of the update is just the letter O in this example. I get the same result if I use the escape character as follows: UPDATE table set col1='O\"Hara' Is this behavior expected??
