Problem inserting into MySQL

Can anyone figure out what's wrong with these 3 entries that would make them not insert? "MySQL said 'Change database in DBManager'". It's inserted (manually) 56 others just fine. There are over 4000 entries, so I'd like to not have to manually trial and error this. :eek:

I've never seen that MySQL error before, sorry.

Me either. I don't understand why it'll accept some and then errors on others.

Oh well. That's the first and last time I buy a site from someone.

Could you try inserting with PhpMyAdmin, just in the manual way (where you click insert and it gives you form fields).

Yeah if I do it that way it takes them just fine, and it accepts a few at a time if I just run an SQL query. But then I keep hitting the error. So I go in and insert them manually until I get past whichever one was giving the error.

If it was just 100 or 200 entries, it wouldn't bother me as bad. I got 118 in last night doing it that way. But there's 4669 of them, and the frustration is setting in rapidly. This is the first time I've ever had a problem importing database information, be it my own or from someone else.

One of the strings in the first query has an appostrophe in it (You'll.) If you don't have magic quotes on or escape it somehow this could cause a problem. I'm not sure what's wrong with the rest of them.

I am getting the same error on one of the sites I manage - any luck in finding a pattern? It's not just the apostrophe's as far as I can tell.

I haven't decided if its key word or what. I did narrow it down in one of my tables to one field causing the problem, but I can't seem to figure out why it is causing the problem.

If I try this statement:

Quote:

---

INSERT INTO nuke_groups VALUES ( "3", "The Community", "", "100");

---

It works fine.

But the original statement was

Quote:

---

INSERT INTO nuke_groups VALUES ( '3', 'The Community', 'A Peer to Peer Community of persons who use the website to exchange information. 100 plus points!', '100');

---

The table structure on that field calls for

Quote:

---

description text NOT NULL,

---

Its got me wondering, thats for sure.

Update.

I started wondering even more, and tested two restore statements - one on the Dbmanager site, and another on a completely separate site that uses Vdeck and phpMyadmin.

The DbManage site gave me the error each time.

The vdeck site worked flawlessly. I have a suspicion this is a bug in DBManage or whatever that thing is called.

I am having the same problem too with DBManager.

I narrowed it down to, in one of the rejected inserts' text fields, the word "because". So I escaped all the becauses (something like b\ecause.) and that helped with those inserts.

But there are more problem words out there, as your examples show.

I believe my host updated the software or something, although they never did respond back to me which is odd. But a few days ago I tried again just for the hell of it and everything inserted without one incident. And I have since wiped the DB and inserted an entire new version of the datafeed (no MySQL elements, just tabbed delimeters) and didn't have one problem with that either.
