That wasn't the error you reported. You reported a problem with storing
"" which not only isn't a number, it isn't even text. Double-quoting
indicates it's a name (i.e. an identifier - a table name or similar).
So - this suggests some questions:
1. Do you know what data-types the client is providing?
2. What validation/checking do you do on the client-supplied data?
3. How are you building your query - via Perl's DBI system, PHP's
PEAR:DB classes, JDBC?
