Why are you using the blob type? your message text isn't a binary large object, isn't it?! Instead you may choose the TEXT types. There are different kinds of TEXT types in MySQL. Refer to the manual. For very short messages (#chars<=255) there is also the VARCHAR type.

Security Level:? Internal I am writing a very simple messaging system. I have a column in a table that is to be used for the msg itself. I have looked at mysql.com documentation. When I try to insert the message with punctation I receive errors, am I using the wrong column type ? Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
