MySQL INSERT problems ...

[greg.harvey]

Hi all,

I'm tinkering with MySQL using Chilisoft ASP for the first time. My CREATE TABLE line looked like this:

CREATE TABLE t_blog (f_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (f_id), f_name CHAR, f_message TEXT, f_date DATE, f_time TIME)

That was fine. Now, whenever I try and insert into that table using the following code I get a syntax error in my SQL string:

INSERT INTO t_blog (f_name, f_message, f_date, f_time) VALUES ('" & Request.Form("name") & "', '" & Request.Form("message") & "', #" & Date & "#, #" & Time & "#)

I figure that I don't need to mention the f_id field in this string cos it's auto numbering. Am I right? I'm starting to get a sneaking suspicion that I set up my table wrong ....

One other thing. When I write the SQL string back to the screen it looks like this:

INSERT INTO t_blog (f_name, f_message, f_date, f_time) VALUES ('Greg Harvey', 'Test blog entry.', #04/09/02#, # 8:31:26 #)

Note the spaces around the time. Could this be screwing things up?

yes, you do omit the auto increment column

no, it's not the spaces around the times, but the hashes -- those are access formats

use single quotes, e.g. '2002-09-04' and '15:56'

Thank you. That works fine now!
