I just ran your query (create and both inserts), and it worked like a charm on a Win32 MySQL 3.23.52.
Just out of curiousity, why are putting the \r in? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tab Alleman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 10:51 AM Subject: Import Batch syntax error Still trying to get all the way through my import batch file. Now I'm getting a syntax error on a certain line of the file, and a subsequent run produced the same exact error on the same exact line, but I can't see anything wrong with that line. Here's the line that produces the error: INSERT INTO `tmphotelinfo` VALUES("yvr100058","yvr","Holiday Inn Metrotown","4405 Central Blvd.","","Burnaby","BC","V5H 4M3","","(604) 438-1881","(604) 438-1883","AE D MC V \r"); Here's the error: ERROR 1064 at line 1036960: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '"' at line 1 Here's the previous line, which apparently doesn't cause an error: INSERT INTO `tmphotelinfo` VALUES("yvr100057","yvr","Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites","1110 Howe Street","","Vancouver","BC","V6Z 1R2","","(604) 684-2151","(604) 684-4736","AE D MC V \r"); I see no appreciable difference between the lines. Here's the line which creates the tmphotelinfo table: CREATE TABLE `tmphotelinfo` ( `OrgID` varchar(9) default NULL, `MetroCode` char(3) default NULL, `Name` varchar(100) default NULL, `Address1` varchar(100) default NULL, `Address2` varchar(100) default NULL, `City` varchar(50) default NULL, `State` varchar(10) default NULL, `Zip` varchar(16) default NULL, `Country` varchar(50) default NULL, `Phone` varchar(24) default NULL, `Fax` varchar(24) default NULL, `CCs` varchar(32) default NULL, KEY `OrgID` (`OrgID`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; ...and finally, there's nothing in the mysql.err file to give me a further clue. Does anybody here see something I don't? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
