Thread: Warning: PostgreSQL query failed

Hi  All,

I am framing Insert statements using PHP from the following information

107-Flash 5cartoons and Games\SMARTSOUND\SOUNDFILES | File Folder | 0 |
02/02/2001 09:33:31 PM

107-Flash 5cartoons and Games\SMARTSOUND\SOUNDFILES\KICKIN'BACK.SDS |
OpenOffice.org 5.0 Chart | 13803564 | 11/22/2000 01:15:54 PM

as below.

If I execute, I am getting a warning message in between as follows. But data
has been inserted into the table.

insert into tblFile (filename, filesize, filetype, modifieddate, parentid,
catalogid) values ('SOUNDFILES', 0 , ' File Folder ', '02/02/2001 09:33:31
PM', 69454, 61)

Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"BACK" at character 53 in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/info/diskcat/database.inc
on line 48

insert into tblFile (filename, filesize, filetype, modifieddate, parentid,
catalogid) values ('KICKIN\'BACK.SDS', 13803564 , ' OpenOffice.org 5.0 Chart
', '11/22/2000 01:15:54 PM', 69455, 61)

How can I handle this warning message.

Hi Sreedhar

Try it with
...
catalogid) values ('KICKIN''BACK.SDS', 13803564 , ' OpenOffice.org 5.0
Chart
...
Use a second ' to escape ' instead of a backslash.

Greetings
Conni

                                                            ^
                                This
will make the parser think the string ends here and assume
BACK to be intended to be part of valid SQL syntax. You need
to escape your input strings.

Hm, you do seem to do escaping. The number of slashes may not
be sufficient, though.

HTH,
